Wei Yan 'ai, a well-known post-90 s Huantai veteran: stick to the original heart and not change the true colors of soldiers.

-The reporter approached Wei Yan 'ai, a veteran of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea.

"Heroic and heroic, crossing the Yalu River; Defending peace and the motherland means defending hometown ... "In the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, Huang Jiguang, sharpshooter Zhang and other well-known heroes emerged. In fact, there are many heroes we don't know, and Wei Yan 'ai is one of them. A few days ago, the reporter came to Xisan Village, Qifeng Town to interview Wei Yan 'ai, a veteran of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and listen to him talk about the bonfire years. Wei Yan 'ai, who is now 90 years old, is not as tough as before, but his vicissitudes of life are still branded with glory and mission.

"If we hadn't collected information about retired soldiers last year, we didn't know that my father still had these flashing stories." Wei Yan's youngest son showed the reporter a bag, including a certificate of honor, a certificate of meritorious service, an application for joining the party, a bullet box, etc ... These seemingly ordinary objects have been treasured by Wei Yan 'ai for many years because of a period of history. "These are the proof that my father participated in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and they are also the most cherished things in his life, and they are the eternal records of those hard years. Unfortunately, after so many years, some medals have been lost. " Wei Yan's youngest son said with a little regret.

Collection of Wei Yan 'ai's works

195 1 year, Wei Yan' ai was gloriously enlisted. 1952 volunteered to enter Korea to participate in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, defend the country and defend the country against foreign enemies. The certificate of meritorious service in the parcel clearly records that1August 1952, he was awarded the third class merit once for his outstanding work performance,1April 1953,1September 1954, and he won the group material award for his active work in the operation. There is a photo in the bag of Wei Yan Ai's bust in military uniform, with four medals hanging on his left chest, which is full of heroic spirit and truly records these honors. Behind the honor, Wei Yan's love and his comrades-in-arms fought bloody battles on the battlefield, which was their persistence and sacrifice. A resume in Wei Yan 'ai 1954 "Volunteer to Join the Party" says: From April 1952 to April 1953, he drove through the blockade of the US military four times in North Korea. A yellowed photo shows Wei Yan 'ai triumphantly returning from the front in a truck made in the former Soviet Union, leaning out of the cab to receive condolences from a North Korean sister-in-law. The scene froze when both sides handed a bowl of water. It is understood that this photo was randomly taken by a hitchhiking war correspondent. Presumably, the photographer must have felt the deep feelings of the Chinese and Korean soldiers and civilians at that time, and specially marked the words "Resisting US Aggression and Aid Korea" in the upper right corner when washing.

"Driving at night can't turn on the light. This is all based on experience. " According to Wei Yan 'ai, after going to the DPRK to participate in the war, his main task was to transport materials and ammunition to the frontier positions. In order to avoid the invasion of American troops, he mostly drives at night, can't turn on the light, and drives on rugged and dangerous mountain roads, all by the driver's usual experience and courage. Driving at night, the lights are dim, the road conditions are unknown, and it is especially easy to crash, hang up and roll over. Every time the war is urgent, the car will leave during the day, and the whole body will be covered with branches and weeds in disguise. When an air raid occurs, in the cab where the machine is roaring, the driver himself is mostly unaware. The person who called the police along the way shouted in Korean: "The enemy plane is coming, so hurry away." So he rushed into the roadside bomb shelter or simply hid under the cliff. "The enemy plane is coming, so hurry away." In the interview, Wei Yan 'ai mumbled in Korean many times, and he still remembers it more than 60 years later. This is one of the few Korean words he can speak.

"Driving bumps in the rain of bullets, enemy planes whistling overhead, diving and bombing, shrapnel flying on the road, flames flying into the sky, craters everywhere, and you may bleed to death if you are not careful." When the reporter asked Wei Yan 'ai if he was afraid, he said that the soldiers in front were in urgent need of ammunition to hit the United States and would be killed on the battlefield. How can they think about fear all day?

"Have you ever been injured on the battlefield? Do you still have contact with your comrades? " When the reporter threw this question, Wei Yanai was emotional and sobbed, and did not continue to talk. Silence ... the reporter doesn't know what he thinks. From the mouth of his youngest son, he learned that many comrades-in-arms gave their lives on the battlefield filled with smoke ... as soldiers and drivers. Wei Yan 'ai has been driving for most of his life. On the battlefield, he transported countless military supplies. After leaving the army, he was an ordinary truck driver. He is cautious and always vigilant, and has never had any traffic accidents or personal injuries.

"I am very satisfied, don't want it." After retiring from the army, Wei Yan loved to be conscientious and hard-working, worked diligently as a car driver, and trained a large number of disciples and grandchildren with superb professional skills. However, his 26-year work experience after leaving the army did not have any honor or reward. Asked about the reason, he said: "We are lucky that this plate was not broken on the battlefield to resist US aggression and aid Korea, and we are still competing with young people for honor." "Wei Yan's love is the eldest brother of the same clan. He is not good at talking and keeping quiet. After all these years, I never knew he had such a past. After reading the information saved by my brother, I don't know for a moment whether the brother I know is an ordinary citizen or a hero of the country. " Wei Yugeng, a cultural enthusiast in Huantai, told reporters that he only knew that Wei Yan 'ai was a veteran who participated in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and never knew that he had a narrow escape in the war. Wei Yan 'ai never told anyone about his achievements. He always said that the children were working hard and filial to Sun Xian, which was very satisfactory.
