recently, a video of a 84 year old soldier on the back of the police was watching the Tiananmen flag raising video on the Internet. The protagonist of the video is Wang Fuqi, a veteran of the war to resist US aggression and aid Korea. Xie Hui, a policeman on his back, told the Beijing Youth Daily that it was the old man's dream to come to the capital to see the banner. In July 12th, the old man's wish was finally realized.
in this video, an old man is lifted up high and appears in the middle of a self timer bar. The old man kept a white beard and wore a straw hat to salute the rising national flag. "At last look, good, good." The old man in the lens sighed.
it is understood that the old man named Wang Fuqi is a veteran of the war to resist US aggression and aid Korea. At noon of July 10th, a tour called "a Dream Tour" set sail in Qigihar, Heilongjiang. Three old party members, including the elderly Wang Fuqi, the old revolution and relatives, accompanied by the members of the local poverty alleviation team and the municipal police representative, set foot on the journey to Beijing's dream.
Wang Fuqi's dream of the old man is to come to Tiananmen square to see a flag raising ceremony. According to Li Zhichao, who participated in the campaign, Li Zhichao said that in July 12th, more than 3 o'clock in the morning, the weather was muggy. A pedestrian started early, starting from the front door and heading for Tiananmen square. "The old man came to Beijing for the first time. We want to start early, we can stand a little bit earlier."
unexpectedly, when they arrived, the square had gathered a few people in the square, and the old man was in front of the crowd to see the front. In desperation, the old man grabbed the side of the armed police: "I am Wang Fuqi, I come from Qigihar, Heilongjiang, can you help me move forward?"
see, accompanied by the police put forward the old man back, "he was very stubborn at the beginning, embarrassed to let us back. When I was more energetic, I saw him with my hands. He was very anxious and agreed to let me back. Police Xie Hui told the reporters of the North Youth newspaper.
4:55 or so, the flag raising ceremony began. In the voice of the national anthem, the old man was raised high and high back. The self portrait rod that was extended around it began to flicker. The old man extended his right hand and saluted the flag for a long time. "He is not sinking, about eighty or ninety Jin, I did not see him salute, I just want to try to carry him higher."
Xie Hui told the Beiqing Bao reporter that it is Wang Fuqi's old wish to watch the national flag in the capital. In May this year, he went to Dongfengcun to participate in poverty alleviation, only to know the old people. According to reports, in 1951, 18 year old Wang Fuqi joined the army and became a reserve force of the fortieth division of the 15 th army of the Chinese people's volunteers. He was sent to the North Korean front line. After leaving the army in 1955, Wang Fuqi lived in Dongfengcun, Yu Gang town. So far, he has been certified by demobilized soldiers. In Xie Hui's impression, the old man had a good life in his later years, but he still kept a simple lifestyle.
Li Zhichao told the Beiqing newspaper reporter, in addition to watching the national flag, they also took the old people to visit the monument of the people's heroes, the National Museum and other places. On the 13 day, some enthusiastic citizens who were concerned about this matter drove spontaneously to guide the elderly to visit Beijing. On the night of 13, a person returned to Qigihar.
