Chapter 255 Unsung Hero
"Zhang Side!"
"Sister Jiang! Liu Siyang!"
"Liu Siyang! Norman Bethune!"
"Is there anything else?" Compared to the heroes on the front lines, those behind the scenes know relatively little.
"Liu Yaomei!"
"Yes, Martyr Liu Yaomei was one of the most tragic and heroic martyrs during the War of Resistance Against Japan, and also one of the most beautiful. The inhumane Japanese devils cut off her flesh and cooked it on the spot..."
The entire conference room at the school fell silent, with only the occasional sob of a girl.
“Children, remember history and never forget national humiliation! You all know about their heroic deeds through books and films, right? But are there any ‘unsung heroes’ around you who are not in books?” Gao Haoran broke the oppressive and painful atmosphere.
The crowd whispered among themselves. A girl stood up and stammered, "I... my grandfather said he walked the Long March, but..."
"You're half-believing, right? Because the government didn't give any rewards or subsidies, right? Child, please believe your grandfather! He has no reason to lie to you."
There are truly many unsung heroes around us, and they never consider themselves heroes, so they don't think about fighting for anything for themselves.
Especially those who were not registered back then, returned to their hometowns for various reasons and lived quietly like that.
In their hearts, they believe that the absence of war and hunger, and the prosperity of the motherland, are more important than anything else! Gao Haoran paused and said, "Today, a comrade-in-arms came with me. He is my good partner and has been collecting intelligence for our army behind the scenes, in the heart of the enemy."
Because of his obscurity and the complexity of the war, he was criticized for half his life. Today, I will tell you, the teachers and students present, his story in its entirety. Please give him a fair assessment, okay? Was he a hero or a villain? Please be the judge..."
Gao Haoran became somewhat emotional as he recounted the story of a wealthy young man who, in the early stages of the war, diligently pursued his studies abroad, hoping to serve his country. However, he found himself trapped in enemy territory, chained up like a dog and stripped of his freedom, his reputation ruined. Despite this, he still fought bravely and wits against the enemy. He persuaded a Japanese woman, also trapped, to pass on vital intelligence to our side, and together they fought side by side for the victory of the War of Resistance, providing mutual cover.
After the war ended, his chivalrous act of protecting the Japanese woman was met with criticism and beatings from uninformed civilians who saw him as a traitor and sellout, leaving him with numerous injuries and illnesses. Even now, he remains true to his original aspirations, wanting to serve his country with his talents, yet he dares not reveal the bitterness of this struggle in public.
The students listened, tears streaming down their faces as they wiped them away. Were these all true stories? They were even more heart-wrenching than any of Qiong Yao's romance novels! Love, hate, and grudges—the male protagonist was so pitiful! He went through so much, sacrificed so much for his country, yet he was misunderstood as having 'wolf ambitions.' It was so unfair!
"Master Gao, he's a hero, we all have to respect him, how could you treat him like that? Waaah..."
"Waaaaah, he's so great! He didn't even think about taking revenge on society; he wanted to serve his country. How can he be so wonderful? I love him to death!"
“Yes, Master Gao, he is a national hero, and we should exonerate him. Let’s appeal together those unfair treatments!”
“Master Gao, he is your partner. We believe in you and we believe in him. Have you found any compelling evidence? Let’s help him together. We can’t let a hero’s heart grow cold.”
“Children, we lost contact during the war and only met again a few years ago. I am heartbroken by the harm he caused me! I have been searching for evidence all these years.”
"Master Gao, you are the best evidence. A hero's partner could not possibly be a traitor. Even if he was in the past, it was all an act! Master Gao, please tell us, what can we do to help him?"
"Yes, Master Gao, we believe in you and we believe in him. It's all because of the circumstances, we must help him!"
"What wrong did he do? He risked his life without seeking fame or fortune. We cannot turn a blind eye to this!" The students were all filled with enthusiasm and wanted to be 'heroes' themselves.
