Chapter 1292 Veterans Never Die, They Just Wither 0

Li Mu has always believed that video is the best carrier to convey concepts and ideas, which is why he pays so much attention to the shooting and editing of this documentary. He knows that he can't bring every Chinese person to Spring City and the life of old man Sun Xiaozhong. For most of his life, he went to the mountain village to see and hear with his own eyes. What he can do is to record everything with video, 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 it was broadcast to hundreds of rich second-generation people who only know how to spend money and pick up girls every day. These people were moved to tears, and then donated more than 80 million yuan;

In the second version, relevant materials of the American Flying Tigers were added, as well as shocking clips of Air China’s shark-mouth-painted Boeing 747 taking off and landing. At the moment when we met at the airport in 2009, the last time we parted was when we were still young adults. This time we reunited, everyone was already an octogenarian. The broadcast was broadcast to all the actors including Mr. Li Xuejian, and all the actors were also touched beyond words;

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

It has the cherished air battle scenes of the past, the clips of looking for the old man Sun Xiaozhong in the deep mountains, the oral history of the American Flying Tigers facing the camera before they set off, and the close-ups of the Flying Tigers' Shark Mouth fighter jets and the current Air China Shark Mouth 747 , There are photos of the Chinese and American Flying Tigers in high spirits, and there are images of the old Flying Tigers from the two countries hugging and crying.

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

Then, 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 battle were all black and white pictures. Although there was no color, it was more heroic than the color picture;

When they saw the old man Sun Xiaozhong in that dilapidated thatched hut, uttering the famous line "Sacrificing one's life to go to the country, seeing death as soon as home", almost all of them were in tears.

Sacrifice his life to go to the country in disaster, seeing death as his home suddenly, a veteran, all the emotions for this nation, are vividly highlighted in these ten characters.

In the video, when the old man finished speaking, the screen gradually turned black, and then the screen showed the scene of the martyr Chen Huaimin dying with the enemy in the Jiangcheng air battle, and the background music carefully selected by Li Mu appeared at the same time as the screen— — "Conquest of Paradise in 1492".

After a 19-second prelude to this extremely majestic and tragic piece of music, the collective humming suddenly appeared, and instantly bombarded everyone's hearts like tear-jerking shells.

The reason why I chose this piece of music is because Li Mu was completely moved to tears by this piece of music back then.

In a TV series called "Soldiers Assault" back then, when Shi Jin, the squad leader played by Zhang Yi, was crying bitterly in front of Tiananmen Square after being discharged from the army, this music made Li Mu cry in front of the TV. idiot.

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

At that time, this music was already moving people when it was used in TV dramas to set off the patriotism of modern soldiers; today, it is still the same music. These video images are the best foil, and the combination of notes and pictures produces a wonderful chemical effect, so that every note, every picture,

It can go straight to the heart and make people feel the tremor of the soul.

When the music started, there was no other sound at the scene, and everyone was staring at the big screen intently. In front of this kind of shocking video data, no one could hold back their tear glands. For a moment, everyone realized that what they saw today was the most shocking, heart-wrenching, and most embarrassing and guilty of all the charity projects they knew so far.

All the previous charity 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, sympathize with disabled people who have lost their health, and sympathize with those who have Infants and young children with congenital diseases, but they will not have any sense of shame or guilt towards these groups, because although they feel that these groups are pitiful, they do not owe them anything in essence.

But veterans are different.

In the picture, those pilots who disregarded life and death and fought the invaders in the long sky of the motherland, they shed blood and sacrificed for the country and the nation, for the defense of the country, for the future generations, some of them have sacrificed, some Most of these people have disappeared over the long years, and most of these remaining people have lived such a hard life, but none of them has reached out to this society.

No veteran said that the country owed them, let alone the nation owed them, the people owed them. Without exception, they regarded their sacrifices as an inescapable responsibility and obligation. Even if they are hungry and poorly clothed, they have never asked this society for a dime or a grain of rice. These journalists who were born in peaceful times, it’s okay 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 the nation, knowing that today's peace and development are all based on their bloody sacrifices in the past, and it turns out that these real old heroes are now living such a poor but neither humble nor overbearing life. In life, how could it be possible not to feel ashamed and feel guilty towards them?

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. Their eyes were red and weeping, but they watched intently. They didn't even know that 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, they forgot the gossip about Li Mu, and they forgot their 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 a vague but very clear response in the video.

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

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

Through this video, Li Mu made the whole society aware of the importance and urgency of caring for veterans. At the same time, he also used practical actions to tell the whole society that the Veterans Never Die Charity Foundation is not just the founder, initiator, and funder. He is also a personal participant in it, an Internet tycoon worth more than tens of billions of dollars, who plunges into the deep mountains of Yun Province. How many rich people of the same level can do it? Even a rich man who is a few grades lower than Li Mu can't do it, right?

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

The sound of 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 dilapidated thatched hut, facing the camera, with a smile on his old face, and said: "Society does not owe me anything." What, those Paoze brothers who fought side by side back then were all passionate about resisting Japan and the country, serving the country and serving the country as soldiers, just like filial piety to our parents. It is our birth responsibility and obligation. The Japanese have been allowed to come in and run amok for so many years. If we owe it to the country, we owe it to the common people who died at the hands of the Japanese back then..."

After the old man said this, two tears suddenly appeared on his smiling face. The scene of the old man wiping away his tears was slowed down to 0.2 times by the editor. sad.

The screen faded to black, and then, a deep and solemn narration, accompanied by white subtitles, appeared in the center of the screen:

"In the summer of 1937, the old man Sun Xiaozhong followed the Jianqiao Central Aviation School and moved westward to Chuncheng as a whole. In the autumn of the same year, the old man Sun Xiaozhong's father moved from Hangzhou to Jinling with his family of seven to escape the war;

In December of the same year, Jinling fell. Since then, the whole family has had no news for more than 60 years. After verification by volunteers, they found the old man's parents, brothers and sisters in the list of victims of the Jinling Massacre. And the names of the six elder sisters-in-law. The old man’s nephew was three years old. The volunteers never found his name in the list of victims, but it is believed that he also died in the massacre;

In 1952, during the labor reform period of Sun Xiaozhong, his lover Chen Jinyu left his hometown with his only son, Sun Lianli, because he could not make ends meet. His whereabouts are still unknown. Entrusted by Sun Xiaozhong, the Veterans Undying Charity Foundation is now seeking help from the whole society. To help the elderly find the whereabouts of their lover and only son, and hope that any kind-hearted people who know relevant clues can take the initiative to contact the Veterans Undead Charity Foundation. "

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