Chapter 1292 Veterans Never Die, They Just Fade Away 0

Li Mu has always firmly believed that video is the best carrier for conveying ideas and thoughts, which is why he pays so much attention to the shooting and editing of this documentary. He knows that he cannot bring every Chinese person to Spring City and old Sun Xiaozhong to live. For most of his life, he went to see and hear with his own eyes and ears in that mountain village. All he could do was to use video to record everything, and then pass it on to the whole society.

The video played by Li Mu at the press conference is already the third version of the promotional video for the project to find the surviving Flying Tigers.

The earliest version was just a rough cut of the shooting material, and broadcast it to hundreds of rich second-generation people who only knew how to spend money and pick up girls every day. These people were moved to tears, and then they donated more than 80 million yuan;

In the second version, the relevant materials of the American Flying Tigers were added, as well as the shocking footage of the Boeing 747 taking off and landing with Air China's shark mouth painted. At the moment of the reunion at the airport, the last time we parted was a young adult. This time, everyone was in their old age. It was broadcast to all the actors including Teacher Li Xuejian, which also moved all the actors to the point of no addition;

The third version is the final version made of more careful editing and arrangement on the basis of the second version, and added some new materials. From 1937 to 2003, the Flying Tigers, the National Army Air Force More than sixty years of experience are condensed into this version.

It includes the cherished aerial combat footage of that year, the scene of searching for the old man Sun Xiaozhong in the deep mountains, the oral history of the American Flying Tigers facing the camera before their departure, and the flying close-up of the Flying Tigers Sharkmouth fighter and the current Air China Sharkmouth 747. There are photos of the high-spirited members of the Flying Tigers of China and the United States, and the images of the old Flying Tigers of the two countries embracing and crying. There are aerial shots of the hump route, aerial battles over Spring City, and the prosperity and peace of Spring City Airport today.

When the picture first started, what was shown in the video was the daily training video of Jianqiao Central Aviation School. Since these are precious historical records, all the reporters were attracted to the past;

Subsequently, the Battle of Songhu started, and the entire aviation school began to move westward;

Then, the National Army Air Force began to fight with the Japanese Air Force in various places. The real images of the air battles were all black and white images. Although there was no color, it was more heroic than the color images;

When they saw the old man Sun Xiaozhong in the extremely dilapidated thatched hut, he said the famous sentence "death to the national disaster, and death is like returning home", almost everyone was already in tears.

He sacrificed his life to go to the national disaster, and regarded death as a return home. All the feelings of a veteran for this nation are vividly highlighted in these ten words.

In the video, when the old man finished saying this, the picture gradually turned black, and then the picture showed the martyr Chen Huaimin perishing with the enemy in the Jiangcheng air battle. The background music carefully selected by Li Mu appeared at the same time as the picture— —.

After the 19-second prelude to this extremely majestic and tragic music, the group humming suddenly appeared, like a tear-jerking cannonball, bombarding everyone's heart.

The reason why I chose this piece of music was because Li Mu was completely tear-jerked by this piece of music back then.

In a TV series called that year, when Shi Jin, the squad leader played by Zhang Yi, was crying bitterly in front of Tiananmen Square in a car after being discharged from the army, this music made Li Mu cry like a fool in front of the TV at that time.

From then on, whenever he heard this pure music, Li Mu couldn't help but think back to that scene in the TV series.

In those days, this music on TV dramas and the patriotism of modern soldiers have moved people; today, it is the same music, in the real images of that year, showing the bloody sacrifice of veterans to this country and nation during the war years. The best foil for these video images, the combination of musical notes and pictures produces a wonderful chemical effect,

So that every note and every picture can go directly to the heart, making people feel the tremor in the heart.

When the music sounded, there was no other sound at the scene, and everyone was staring at the big screen. In front of this shocking video material, no one could hold back their tear ducts. For a moment, everyone realizes that what they are seeing today is the most shocking, heart-wrenching, ashamed and guilty of all the charitable projects they have ever known.

All the previous charitable projects, no matter how touching they are, can only arouse people's sympathy and desire to donate to a certain extent. People will sympathize with children who have not gone to school, the disabled who have lost their health, and those who have sympathy. Infants and young children with congenital diseases, but they will not have any sense of shame and guilt towards these groups, because although they feel that these groups are pitiful, they essentially owe them nothing.

But veterans are different.

In the picture, those pilots who disregarded their life and death, piloted their planes in the long sky of the motherland and fought the invaders desperately. have passed away in the long years, and most of the remaining people have lived so hard, but none of them have reached out to this society.

No veterans say that the country owes them, let alone that the nation owes them, and the people owe them. They, without exception, regard the sacrifice of the year as an inescapable responsibility and obligation. Even if they don't have enough food and clothing, they have never asked for a dime or a grain of rice in this society. These journalists who were born in the peaceful era, it's fine if they didn't pay attention to this group before, but now they finally know Their stories, knowing the sacrifices they made for this country and nation, knowing that today's peace and development are entirely based on their bloody sacrifices in the past, and seeing them, the real old heroes, are now living such a poor but not humble life. How can you not be ashamed and feel guilty about life?

Facts have proved that although the society is indifferent, the blood of most people is still warm.

Every reporter at the scene was deeply touched by this video. They watched with red eyes and tears, but they didn't even know they were crying. They had forgotten that they were here to attend a press conference. , they forgot the cast they had been eagerly looking forward to, the gossip related to Li Mu, the original intention of making things difficult for Li Mu at the press conference, and running on Li Mu to get news topics.

In fact, the last two points that the reporters were thinking about before have already had vague but very clear responses in the video.

In the video, Li Mu's picture flashed several times. He was on the cliffs in the deep mountains of Yun Province, he was on the steel cable crossing the river above the Nujiang River, Sun Xiaozhong was in the dilapidated thatched hut, and he was in the ward of the Yun Provincial Military Region Hospital. He was also there when they greeted Air China 747, and when the old people spent the Lantern Festival together in the hotel.

Now the reporters finally know what Li Mu was doing these days when he disappeared in front of the media. It turned out that he had set up such a significant charitable foundation, and personally initiated and participated in the first public welfare project of the charitable foundation. , which is what everyone sees now, the search for the surviving Flying Tigers that makes everyone cry!

Through this video, Li Mu made the whole society realize the importance and urgency of caring for veterans, and at the same time, he also used practical actions to tell the whole society that the Veterans Immortal Charity Foundation is not only the founder, initiator, funder, but also himself It is also a personal participant who is involved and hands-on, an Internet tycoon worth over 10 billion US dollars, plunged into the deep mountains of Yun Province, how many rich people of the same level can do it? Even a rich man several grades lower than Li Mu can't do it, right?

When everyone's soul is being greatly shocked, the video is coming to an end.

The background music gradually faded out of the picture, and only the old man Sun Xiaozhong remained in the picture. He was still sitting in his thatched cottage, facing the camera. With a smile on his old face, he said, "The society does not owe me anything. What, the Paoze brothers who fought side by side in those days were all eager to fight against the country, serve the country, and serve the country as soldiers. It was like filial piety to their parents. It was our responsibilities and obligations from birth, and it was our failure to fulfill our responsibilities. It took so many years for the Japanese to come in and run rampant. If we say we owe it, we owe it to the country and the common people who died at the hands of the Japanese..."

After the old man said this, there were suddenly two more tears on his smiling face. The picture of the old man wiping away his tears was slowed down to 0.2 times by the editor. past sadness.

The picture gradually darkened, and then, a deep and solemn voice, with white subtitles, appeared in the center of the picture:

"In the summer of 1937, the old man Sun Xiaozhong moved westward with the Jianqiao Central Aviation School as a whole to Spring City. In the autumn of the same year, the old man Sun Xiaozhong's father moved his family of seven from Hangzhou to Jinling to settle down in order to escape the war.

In December of the same year, Jinling fell. Since then, the whole family has been without news for more than 60 years. After verification by volunteers, they found the parents, brothers and sisters of the elderly in the list of victims of the Jinling Massacre. As well as the names of the six elder sisters, the old man's nephew was three years old, and the volunteers had not found his name in the list of victims, but believed that he had also been killed in the massacre;

In 1952, during the old man Sun Xiaozhong's reform through labor, his lover, Chen Jinyu, left his hometown with his only son, Sun Lianli, because he could not make a living. His whereabouts are still unknown. Help the old man find the whereabouts of his lover and only son, and hope that any kind-hearted person who knows the relevant clues can take the initiative to contact the Veterans Undying Charity Foundation. "

At the end of the video, ten words appeared again on the big screen: "Veterans never die, they just fade away..."...
