There was a moan. It turned out that the driver was shot and stuck in the cab. So now, he decided to save people first. He and the two soldiers dragged the driver around to make a difficult transition. Then, a violent explosion came from the starting point. When they looked back, there was a sea of fire.
Zou Shiming and the reinforcements rushed back to the scene early the next morning, and found that there was an ashes there. “The car also burned so that only the girders remained. Guo Rongrong’s ashes were just on the girders, and some of them were not burned.” He immediately took off his shirt and carried “her” in his arms.
“You think, living people are still hot, and I just hold it like this.”
“Then some of them were in the car, and I handed them the urinals. When they ran out, I brought them down and dumped them. When Guo Rongrong was going to the toilet, I held the gun far away. Keep it up. I’ve been protecting her, but I haven’t protected her in the end. “From then on, he was blaming himself. He wanted to go back–if he was allowed to fight again, he would be anxious and “revenge.”
After much inquiry, Li Zhi finally contacted Zou Shiming, now 75. After leaving the army, Zou Shiming had lost contact with his comrades. “He avoided them and didn’t want to see anyone.” Li Zhi learned that many comrades-in-law blame him that year, “they sought a vent for the pain in their hearts, and he became the target.”
After much communication, Zou Shiming promised to meet him in Henan. He was really surprised that at the Zou family, Zou Shiming took out Guo Rongrong’s ashes. It turned out that when the ashes were transferred to the Guo family, he quietly kept a copy. Every year, he celebrates the Qingming Festival, the Mid-Yuan Festival, and Guo Rongrong’s birthday and death day. He has never stopped for 40 years.
“I want to accompany her and not let her be alone.” Zou Shiming choked and said in February 1979, on the train of the 162 division of the 54th Army to the battlefield, Guo Rongrong secretly gave him a note. That’s what she wrote with a pencil— “I regret not calling you brother.”
“After her sacrifice, my personality has changed. I no longer want to talk about thesething. Seeing the happy scene, I thought she was gone. Especially when I saw the female soldiers jumping around, I would think that she would have done the same. “In the center of his memory, Guo Rongrong was always settled in the most beautiful years.
Similarly, there is Guo Chengzhi. “I’m a fragile person and dare not watch Chinese and foreign movies. But if the tragedy is more intense, I can’t stand it.” He kept dreaming about his sister. “She always fears that I’m not going well and lets me live well.”
After receiving the bad news, his heart broke. “It was completely unexpected, and my mind was completely confused.” But afterwards, when clearing his thoughts, he remembered the letter from Zou Shiming before leaving—the letter said, “Guo Rongrong is a very good fighter. She goes to the front line and we will protect Her … “So far, he thinks the letter is sincere,” But on the battlefield, how can a squad leader, a squad, or a gear stand in front of you to protect you? “
In 2019, Li Zhi completed a documentary on Guo Rongrong after interviewing more than 20 people. On May 23 of that year, he gathered with the veterans of the former 162 Division propaganda team at the Martyrs Cemetery in Longzhou, Guangxi-Guo Rongrong and 262 comrades-in-arms died here. It is not only their names that are engraved on the rows of tombstones, it is the “fanghua” cast by the bloody youth.
