Chapter 106 Why is Certification Necessary?

It is said that men do not easily shed tears, but at this moment Gao Haoran's tears flowed freely: "When I came back, the land was scorched black, and the air was filled with smoke and the smell of gunpowder, as if I were in hell. I searched for my eldest brother and the other two senior brothers, but I couldn't find them, I couldn't find them... The ground was full of charred and mutilated corpses. Some of the corpses and severed limbs on the battlefield were washed away by the rain, while others were left forever in the ruins."

I was scared, I was angry, I couldn't abandon them again, I didn't want to be a deserter, a deserter..."

"Master!"

“Ah Huo, you’re not a deserter, no, you were ordered to go find rescue, you are their hope for the future, you have never been a deserter!” Zuo Renxin put his arm around Gao Haoran’s shoulder.

"Really? Hahaha... I saw hell. I searched for four days and four nights, I gathered their corpses together, I burned them together, sob sob sob... I carried them on my back, I carried them everywhere..."

"Master!"

Gao Haoran burst into tears. He had carried too much on his shoulders over the years, and his broad shoulders were about to break.

Life is a grand play, and once the curtain rises, no matter who you are or whether you're stage-frightened, you have to act until the end. The only thing we can do is not let today become tomorrow's regret.

Justice may be delayed, but it will never be absent.

“Master, why do we need the approval of those in power to bring our senior brothers home in such a grand manner? They don’t need that hero’s medal. They fought for the people. They are worthy of it. They are our heroes. Justice resides in the hearts of the people. We welcome them back to their hometown in glory.”

"Don't need their approval? Don't need it? No need! Hahaha... Yes, they are heroes, why do they need others to stamp their approval? Hahaha... Yes, yes..." Gao Haoran was somewhat insane.

Ting Nan wanted to call him, but Zuo Renxin waved his hand to stop her. Ah Huo seemed to have been freed from his predicament. Yes! He had a clear conscience and did not need anyone else's approval.

My dear child! In a single thought, the world can be turned upside down.

Gao Haoran laughed and cried for a while, drank the water that Zuo Renxin handed him, and fell asleep on the bed. He felt very relaxed.

Song Tingnan quietly asked Zuo Renxin for advice on how to "pick up" his senior brothers and take them home. He wrote down all the details, but how could he notify his family to "welcome" them? He suggested notifying Director Mu, whose factory had installed telephones.

Back then, under Grandpa Zuo's arrangement, the ashes of the senior disciples were buried next to the Zuo family ancestral graves. There were two evergreen cypress trees on the grave mound, which Zuo Renxin said he and Xiaoyue planted together.

Because Gao Haoran saved Zuo Renxin's family from the Japanese army, the Zuo family members respected the person in the grave. In those years, which family hadn't been harassed by the Japanese? Those who could resist and kill the Japanese were their heroes.

Every year during Qingming Festival and Spring Festival, many people come to burn incense and pay their respects, and their spirit of resistance against Japan is passed down to the next generation. The weeds on the grave mound are trimmed cleanly on time. The children herding cattle are not afraid of this cemetery; their parents say that great heroes reside here, heroes who protect them. When they are tired, they sit by the grave mound, or even take a nap, and they do not allow the cattle and sheep to step on the grave mound.

Before coming to "re-exhume" the grave, Zuo Renxin specifically informed the elders of his clan, and the clan members spontaneously offered their help.

During the years that Zuo Renxin's family lived in the countryside, they were very generous and did their best to help the villagers, building schools and repairing roads. Zuo Jinyue, along with her father and other villagers, also planted many trees along the roads, which are now lush and vibrant, showcasing the vigor and vitality of life.
