Chapter 1292 Veterans never die, just fade away

Li Mu has always believed that images are the best carrier for conveying ideas and ideas. This is why he pays so much attention to the shooting and editing of this documentary. He knew that he could not bring every Chinese to Chuncheng and to the mountain village where Sun Xiaozhong lived for most of his life to see and listen to them with his own eyes. What he could do was record everything with images and then pass it on to the whole society.

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

The earliest version was just a rough cut of the shooting materials, and played to hundreds of rich second-generations who only knew how to spend money every day and picked up girls. They moved these people to tears and then donated more than 80 million yuan;

The second version adds relevant materials for the American Flying Tigers, as well as the shocking clips of Air China's shark mouth painted with Boeing 747 take-off and landing. What touches the most is China. When the American Flying Tigers gathered at the airport for 60 years, the last time they parted were young and middle-aged. This time they reunite, everyone is in their 80s. Play it to all actors, including Teacher Li Xuejian, and also touched all the actors to the point of being unable to be added;

The third version is based on the second version and has more careful editing and arrangement, and has added some ultimate versions made of new materials. From 1937 to 2003, the Flying Tigers and the National Air Force have been condensed in this version for more than 60 years.

It has the air combat scenes that I cherished back then, the scenes of looking for old man Sun Xiaozhong in the mountains, the oral history of the American Flying Tigers facing the camera before leaving, the flying Tigers shark-mouth fighter jets and the current Air China Shark-mouth 747 photos, the inspirational photos of the Chinese and American Flying Tigers, the images of the old Flying Tigers from both countries hugging and crying, the aerial shots of the Hump Route, the air combat scenes over Chuncheng, and the prosperity and peace of Chuncheng Airport today.

When the picture first started, the video presented was the daily training of Jianqiao Central Aviation School. Since these were precious historical records, all the attractiveness of all reporters was attracted;

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

Then, the National Air Force began to fight with the Japanese Air Force in various places. The real images of the air combat were all black and white. Although they had no color, they added a bit of heroism than the colorful pictures;

When they saw Mr. Sun Xiaozhong saying the famous saying "Sacrificing his life to the country and treating death as if he was homeless" in the extremely dilapidated thatched hut, almost everyone was already crying.

Sacrifice to the national crisis and treat death as if he is homeless, a veteran's feelings for this nation are fully highlighted in these ten words.

In the video, when the old man finished saying this, the picture gradually became darker, and then the picture showed the scene of the martyr Chen Huaimin who died with the enemy in the air battle in Jiangcheng. At the same time as the picture was the background music carefully selected by Li Mu, "1492 Conquer Heaven".

After 19 seconds of prelude, this extremely majestic and tragic music suddenly appeared in collective humming, and instantly bombarded everyone's heart like tear-jerking shells.

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

In a TV series called "Soldier Assault", when Zhang Yi played the squad leader Shi Jin, who was riding the army, cried bitterly in front of Tiananmen Square after he was discharged from the army, the music made Li Mu cry in front of the TV an idiot.

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

Back then, this music set off the patriotism of modern soldiers in TV dramas, which made people very moved; today, the same music is still the same music, which shows the bloody sacrifice of veterans to this country and nation in the real images of the war, and has become the best setting for these videos. The combination of notes and pictures has produced a wonderful chemical effect, so that every note and every picture can reach the heart and make people feel the tremor in their hearts.

When the music started, there was no other sound on the scene. Everyone stared at the big screen intently. In the face of this shocking video data, everyone could not hold back their tear glands. At this moment, everyone realized that what they saw today was the most shocking, heartbreaking, and ashamed and guilty of all the charity projects they knew.

No matter how touching all the charity projects were done before, they could only arouse people's sympathy and desire to donate to a certain extent. People would sympathize with children who had not learned to learn, sympathize with disabled people who have lost their healthy body, and sympathize with infants and young children with congenital diseases, but they would not feel any shame or guilt towards these groups, because although they felt that these groups were pitiful, they did not owe them anything in essence.

But veterans are different.

In the picture, those pilots who flew planes to fight the invaders in the sky of their motherland regardless of life and death, they bleed and sacrificed for the country and nation, to defend their country, and for future generations, some of them have already sacrificed, and some have disappeared over the long years. Most of the remaining people have lived so hard, but none of them have reached out to this society.

No veteran said that the country owes them, nor does the veteran say that the nation owes them, and the people owed them. They regarded the sacrifices of that year as an unshirkable responsibility and obligation, and threw their blood in the war years, and then lived a life of miserable life in peace years. Even if they were not fed or covered their clothes, they never asked for a dime or a grain of rice to this society. These journalists born in peace years did not pay attention to this group before, but now they finally knew their stories, their sacrifices for this country and nation, and they knew that today's peace and development were entirely based on their bloody sacrifices back then. As a result, seeing that these real old heroes now live such a poor but neither humble nor arrogant life, how could they not be ashamed or feel guilty to them?

Facts have proved that although society is cold, most people's blood is still hot.

Every reporter at the scene was deeply touched by this video. They were red and crying, but they watched with their eyes unblinking. Even they knew that they were crying. They had forgotten that they were here to attend a press conference. They forgot that they had been eagerly looking forward to. They forgot the gossip related to Li Mu, and also forgot the original intention of making things difficult for Li Mu at the press conference and running Li Mu to get the news topic.

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

In the video, Li Mu flashed several times. He was on the deep mountain cliffs of Yun Province, he was on the steel ropes crossing the river above Nujiang, he was in the dilapidated thatched hut of the old man Sun Xiaozhong, he was in the ward of the Yun Provincial Military Region Hospital, he was also in the airline 747 when welcoming Air China 747, and he was also in 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 planned to build such a significant charity foundation, and personally initiated and participated in the charity foundation's first charity project. This is what everyone sees now, making everyone cry and look for the surviving Flying Tigers!

Through this video, Li Mu made the whole society realize the importance and urgency of caring for veterans, and also used practical actions to tell the whole society that the Veterans Immortal Charity Foundation is not only the founder, initiator, investor, but also a participant in it and personally doing it. An Internet tycoon worth over 10 billion US dollars has plunged into the mountains of Yun Province. How many rich people of the same level can do it? Even rich people who are several levels lower than Li Mu cannot do it?

While everyone's souls were greatly shocked, the video was coming to an end.

The background music gradually faded out of the picture, and only the old man Sun Xiaozhong was left in the picture. He was still sitting in his extremely dilapidated thatched hut. Facing the camera, his old face was smiling and said: "Social does not owe me anything. The brothers who fought side by side back then all wanted to fight against Japan and serve the country, serve the country, and serve the country, and serve the country, and serve the country, just like being filial to our parents. It was our birth responsibility and obligation. It was our failure to fulfill our responsibilities, so that the Japanese came in and rampant for so many years. If we owe it, we owe the country and the common people who died in the hands of the Japanese... "

After saying this, two tears suddenly appeared on the smiling face. The picture of the old man wiping away tears was slowed down by the editor to 0.2 times. The slow motion allowed people to see the sadness that flashed through the expression when the old man wiped away tears.

The picture gradually darkened, and then the deep and solemn narration, combined with white subtitles, was presented in the center of the picture:

"In the summer of 1937, the old man Sun Xiaozhong moved westward with the Jianqiao Central Aviation School to Chuncheng. In the autumn of the same year, the old man Sun Xiaozhong's father moved from Hangzhou to Jinling to settle in order to avoid the war;

In December of the same year, Jinling fell, and the whole family has since been missing for more than 60 years. After volunteers verified that the names of the old man’s parents, brothers and sisters and six elder sister-in-law were found in the list of victims of the Jinling Massacre. The old man’s nephew was three years old at the time. The volunteers had not found his name on the list of victims, but I believe he had also unfortunately died in the massacre;

In 1952, during the labor reform period, his lover Chen Jinyu left his hometown with his only son Sun Lianli because he was unable to make a living. The whereabouts of the Veteran Immortal Charity Foundation was commissioned by Sun Xiaozhong. He is now seeking help from the whole society to help the elderly find the whereabouts of their lover and their only son. I hope that any kind-hearted person who knows the relevant clues can take the initiative to contact the Veteran Immortal Charity Foundation."
