9 Details of the Myanmar Expeditionary Force ~ ~! !

This is a story of finding relatives for a century and a half. Zhu Kai, a 93-year-old veteran of Chongqing Expeditionary Force, is terminally ill in Myanmar. The first batch of expeditionary soldiers returned to China in May this year, but he gave up because he could not find relatives in Chongqing. Yesterday, under the contact of reporters, I finally found his relatives in Chongqing. Lin Yifu, Zhu Lao's son-in-law in Myanmar, told reporters on the phone: "He has been ill recently and his life is dying. He really wants to go home. "

"I killed many Japanese soldiers."

Yesterday morning, in the south dike of Myitkyina, Myanmar, when the son-in-law handed the microphone to Zhu Lao, Zhu Kai told reporters with a local accent: "I'm dying, and I may not come back." The reporter recognized that his accent was eastern Sichuan accent.

Lin Yifu, Zhu Kai's son-in-law, said, "His hearing is declining rapidly. Recently, he always said that he was going to die and could not come back. " Zhu Kai can speak Burmese and Sichuan dialect. Over the years, he has been listening to China's TV channels and radio. Zhu Kai always said, "I'm afraid to go home, I can't speak my hometown dialect and I can't find my family."

Zhu vaguely remembers his bugle. He is the second heavy machine gunner of the 2nd Battalion of the 66th Regiment of the 22nd Division of the Fifth Army of the Kuomintang. Lin Yifu, the son-in-law, said in fluent Chinese that he was taken to be a soldier by the Kuomintang army. In his early years, he fought with the Fifth Army in Kunlun, Guangxi. 1942 entered Myanmar to fight on the border between Myitkyina and India. Zhu still retains the expeditionary force medal awarded by the Kuomintang in those days. He said to his son-in-law, "I killed many Japanese soldiers in Myitkyina." This experience, Lin Yifu only recently heard him talk about, never thought that this thin father-in-law with crutches turned out to be a heavy machine gunner.

At the end of the campaign of the Myanmar Expeditionary Force, Zhu Kai stayed in Indochina, Myanmar for more than 60 years because he lost contact with the troops when retreating. Zhu Kai, who is over 70 years old, has been looking for relatives in China since 20 years ago. He wrote a letter and sent it back to Chongqing. I also received a letter from my hometown at Wujiachang Street, Zhujiachang, Jianshan Township, Hechuan County, which made the old man very excited.

At present, the only information the old man has is the names of a series of relatives, including his brother Zhu (Rong), his nephews Zhu Zhongliang and Zhu. Where are these people? In May this year, the first batch of veterans of the Myanmar Expeditionary Force returned to China. He lost the chance to return to China because he could not find his relatives. The son-in-law remembers that he kept saying, "I can't go back, I can't go back in my life."

Looking for a family, the Sichuan girl wants to give him a home.

While the old man is looking for his family, Zou Lu, a woman who lives in Meishan, Sichuan but works in Wuxi, is also looking for her family.

Zou Lu said: "I have family members who have joined the Kuomintang army and fought abroad." She pointed out that her family members and the elderly provided the same names. Zou Lu's husband's grandfather is called Zhu, and someone in his family is called Zhu Zhongliang. She is also looking for Zhu Kai. Zou Lu was ecstatic when he learned that Zhu Kai was in Myanmar. She said, "The whole family was very happy that day and finally found it." The next day, Zou found the phone number through the veterans of the Myanmar Expeditionary Force. This phone call was not very pleasant. Zou said: "He said that he is from Chongqing, not from Meishan, Sichuan, and has never been to Meishan."

What's going on here? Is Zou Lu really wrong? Zou told reporters yesterday: "I don't know if this is right or wrong. If it is wrong, I think if the old man can return to China, I am willing to bypass this white lie and give him a home. "

For the first time in 67 years, I spoke to my family in Chongqing.

Yesterday, the reporter only found Jianshan Town in Hechuan, but couldn't find Wu Jie Street in Zhujiachang. Then the reporter called the Hechuan government department. A staff member said that Jianshan Township had been merged into Dashi Town. The staff of Dashi Town said that after so many years, the place names must have changed. This place name has never been heard.

The reporter immediately found a Zhu who was born in 1924 through the search of Hechuan household registration police, but he has passed away. His descendants denied that any family member had fought in Myanmar. After many searches, news finally came from Dashi Town. Zhu Lao's nephew, Zhu, is in the second club of Bolun Village, Dashi Town. Zhu finally got on the phone with. This is the first time that he heard the voice of his family in Chongqing after 67 years in Myanmar.
