Chapter 220 I'll Take You Home (Thank You)
"salute!"
Snapped!
Accompanied by an old and hoarse roar.
Under the light, those old and hunched figures tried their best to stand up straight and saluted in the direction of Pan Yinian.
Even though their hands couldn't help but tremble because of old age.
Even if they tried their best, they could not straighten their backs which were once as strong as steel guns.
Even though some people can't even stand up.
They still salute Pan Yinian, the younger generation, with their iron will.
Solemn and solemn...
It was as if I saw my comrades who had fought side by side with me.
It seems like we have returned to that era of gunfire...
In the eyes of Pan Yinian and others,
At this moment, the figures of these elderly people overlapped with those who risked their lives in movies and TV dramas...
At this moment, it was as if time had gone back. I vaguely saw the top of Songshan Mountain, where corpses were scattered everywhere and blood flowed like a river. I saw those young but determined faces rushing towards the high ground of Jiaobenzi without hesitation...
At this moment, I seemed to see those child soldiers falling down, looking towards home, filled with nostalgia and longing...
I feel so much emotion.
Looking at these veterans of the expeditionary force, and the young heroic spirits following behind them, Pan Yinian's lips trembled, and he uttered words that have moved countless people to tears in later generations:
"I...I'll take you home..."
The same accent and the unique charm of Tengchong immediately struck the most fragile string in the hearts of the veterans of the Expeditionary Force.
The veterans of the expeditionary force all had sore noses and red eyes.
Because this is what their leader once said to them.
Because these words still linger in my ears.
Because many people will never come back...
"...
After many years, will I still be alive?
Will someone sing a song for me?
Will anyone still remember me after many years?
Remember I have been to this world,
If I am no longer here many years later,
Please light the candle in my heart.
......"
Pan Yinian stood on the stage and sang a song that became popular on the Internet and made countless people sad.
Moved by emotion, he changed the lyrics on the spot.
This song truly becomes a song written for the child soldiers and the many martyrs of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.
At this moment, the veterans of the expeditionary force all had tears in their eyes and raised their heads hard.
At this moment, the audience's eyes were wet.
At this moment, Pan Yinian's heart trembled again.
At first, when Grandpa Pei told him that he was going to have a surprise for him today, he thought that the survivors of the Nanjing Massacre and local veterans of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression were coming.
But he never expected that it would be a former child soldier, a veteran of the Expeditionary Force who had carried the banner of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression with his weak body.
To be honest, he was very excited and proud when he was recognized by these people.
He was even very happy that his own guardian golden body had become thicker.
But what is more, is shame and spiritual shock.
because,
Compared to these veterans of the expeditionary force, what he did was too insignificant...
Amidst a myriad of emotions, the song gradually came to an end.
As Pan Yinian stopped plucking the strings with his head down, a soft whisper reached everyone's ears.
"I remember, we all remember..."
At this moment, the whole audience burst into tears.
At this moment, Pan Yinian raised his head, revealing a face full of tears.
At this moment, the veterans of the Expeditionary Force shed tears.
Looking at Pan Yinian who slowly stood up and raised his hand to salute the veterans of the Expeditionary Force, Hua Zi slowly walked behind Pan Yinian and saluted silently.
Then, the band teacher.
Then there is Su Ying.
Then, the entire audience slowly turned around, looked at the veterans of the expeditionary force, raised their arms, and raised the tips of their middle fingers to the level of their eyebrows...
"I remember, we all remember..."
……
Veterans of the Expeditionary Force were present at the event.
Pan Yinian wrote a song on the spot, Andy and Pan Yinian sang "Chinese" together, veterans of the Expeditionary Force sang "The Expeditionary Force Song", and everyone at the scene sang "Yellow River Cantata"...
Andy Lau's concert has unknowingly become a red song concert.
Although it went against the original intention, everyone felt that this trip was worth returning.
Because their bodies and minds have been baptized.
Because they felt the sincerity and tragedy of the older generation.
They also thought that this concert was unprecedented and would never be repeated in their hearts.
At the end of the concert,
Pan Yinian’s proposal: to build a single-body child soldier formation at the Songshan Martyrs Cemetery. He is willing to donate the full amount just to let future generations remember it.
Then,
Andy Lau invited fans to visit the Nanjing Massacre Memorial Hall together the next day and lay flowers at the Martyrs' Cemetery. He also donated 100 million yuan on the spot, 50 yuan for the construction of the Martyrs' Cemetery and 50 yuan for improving the lives of these Expeditionary Force veterans.
But before the veterans of the Expeditionary Force could decline, a wave of donations broke out at the concert.
According to statistics, the cumulative donations that night exceeded 200 million.
This does not include the money donated by Andy Lau and Pan Yinian.
As a result, after this incident topped the headlines of major newspapers the next day, a wave of donations was once again set off in Jiangnan Province and even across the country. Many veterans of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression who had been forgotten were also "dug out" one by one.
The relevant departments in Tengchong, Yunnan Province, also quickly decided to expand the Songshan Martyrs Cemetery and build a single statue of the child soldier, directly making the rule of "no children with bound feet" publicly known.
It even escalated again, changing the "no reception" to "forbidden people with small feet from setting foot in Tengchong"...
As the matter progressed, Andy Lau's popularity in mainland China rose again.
Even Pan Yinian, a guy who is not doing his job properly, was given the title of Little King.
Some people admire and envy, while others are jealous and hate.
Some people even smashed the office and completely broke through the defense...
……
But Pan Yinian no longer cared about these.
the next day,
Pan Yinian was woken up from his bed early by Uncle Pan and dragged to the opening ceremony of the Xinsheng franchise flagship store.
But when Pan Yinian saw the crowd at the scene, he was completely dumbfounded.
"Uncle Pei, aren't you going a bit too far?"
Not to mention him, even Su Ying, who was temporarily drafted into the army, opened her eyes wide and pointed at the crowd in front of her, saying "this, this, this" non-stop...
