Three or four years in Leiyang,My family’s life is stable,Economic prosperity,The whole family lives a carefree life。But the good times did not last long,Japanese invaders,After the fall of Changsha,Leiyang is also in danger,Our whole family had to take refuge in Guilin,This is the beginning of our family’s life as a refugee during the Anti-Japanese War。Because I haven’t lived in Guilin for long,Guilin is also starting to panic,Our whole family went to Guiyang again,The final destination is Chongqing。Fleeing hastily from Guilin to Chongqing,This not-so-long journey actually took nearly half a year。On this "journey",Transportation is difficult,Often bombed by Japanese planes,Hidden journey。Standing in refugee camp,Let’s not talk about the bumpy and difficult life,Also add hunger and disease。This period of life,I call it an escape,It’s not an exaggeration。

First of all, it is very difficult to walk from Guilin, Guangxi to Dushan in Guizhou。Although we are taking the train,But the so-called train ride,Just take a freight car Bet365 app download without a roof,A family of five spends a lot of money,Only two to three square meters of space in the truck,Huddled together。Because the railway is busy,Wagons have to give way to almost all trains,Can’t walk one or two stops,You have to stop at a small station or a remote section of the road for two days。And the railway is the focus of Japanese aircraft bombing,We encounter air raids almost every day,Sometimes,The train stopped on the road,It’s like leaving it there to be bombed,More than once,People in nearby carriages were killed。Wind and rain in the car,Sun and night dew,A tough man also gets sick。My father has enteritis,Continuous diarrhea;I have malaria,Cold and heat,It is quite possible that he will not survive the Dushan Mountain。After finally leaving for two or three weeks,Finally arrived at Dushan。My father turned out to be a fat man,When arriving at Dushan,Already skinny;After I was suffering from malaria for a week or two,Nearly arriving at Dushan,Father’s good luck,I don’t know where to get some cinchona seeds,Those pills turned into a puddle of mud because of the hot weather,Dirty,But I can’t care about that,Help is important,Take medicine,The disease will be cured。

I always think that I will reach a comfortable bet365 Play online games place when I go to Dushan,Because it’s only one step away from Chongqing。Unexpectedly,The grim situation in Dushan is almost desperate。In this small place,There are actually tens of thousands of refugees already stranded,We are all waiting to escape to Chongqing,And between the high mountains from Dushan to Chongqing,There is only one rough road,The demand for transportation cars exceeds supply,Tens of thousands of refugees are concentrated in this place,To be evacuated and sent away,At least one or two years。So,Our whole family moved into a refugee shelter。The conditions in the shelter are extremely poor,Except for having a roof to protect you from wind and rain、Outside of the floor with straw mats underneath,Almost nothing left。Refugees huddle together every day,A convoy desperately waiting for evacuation。Our family stayed in such a refugee shelter for a month or two。

Later,My father used more than one small gold bar,The family got on a big truck,Leaved Dushan。The big truck that transports goods is also without a shed,The truck is full of goods piled high,A family of five squeezed into the towering pile of goods。Highway from Dushan to Chongqing,They are all winding in the mountains,The road surface is also relatively narrow,There is often a cliff Bet365 app download on one side of the road,And uphill、Downhill、Dangerous sections with sharp turns are everywhere。People sitting on the pile of goods,Shaking,There is a danger of falling from unstable cargo piles to the vehicle。What’s even scarier,This kind of car needs to be rushed for "economic benefits",Sometimes you have to drive at night。This trip,It’s really scary,We have no choice but to leave it to fate。

Finally,We finally arrived in Chongqing。Fortunately, we still have a relative in Chongqing,That’s my aunt’s family,They have already arrived in Chongqing。Our family of five was generously received by our aunt and her husband,Lived in their house for a period of time。Later,My family found a remote slope in Chongqing,Built a house of more than ten square meters there,Use wooden planks as walls,Use thatch as a shed,Having a place to stay。

  In Chongqing during the Anti-Japanese War

Chongqing during the Anti-Japanese War,The conditions in all aspects are very simple,Life is also relatively difficult。Since coming to Chongqing,Leave Chongqing after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War,Father has been unemployed,Only relying on his reputation as a famous chef,Occasionally, I can take a few food orders from wealthy people。There is little business Bet365 lotto review in ordering banquets,Ordering a high-end banquet,Only once or twice a year。Our family is frugal on food and clothing,Difficulties in making a living。A large part of my father’s savings was spent on the escape。

After I was rescued from the brink of death due to enteritis,Finally enlightened、I’m sensible,As the eldest son of the family,Beginning to have a sense of family worries,Out of the confusion、Heartless naughty state,Say goodbye to many childish and boring games,I am no longer obsessed with things like accumulating cigarette boxes。Just after a new "little friend" came to the house,I have some joyful childishness in my life。We call this “little friend” “Little Overlord”,It is a very cute kitten。It is all white,There is a small light yellow flower on the forehead,Like a tiger with the word "王" on its forehead,An innocent and childish look on his face、Naughty look,But he is also "old-fashioned" and has two beards,Likes to play around us every day,Leaved a very deep impression on my childhood。I still can’t forget it even when I’m old,Written an essay "Remembering the Little Overlord" for it,My friends once jokingly called it one of my masterpieces of prose。

In a life of poverty,My study has not been delayed。Father has admired bet365 live casino games culture since childhood,Always bemoaning his fate of working hard in front of a hot fire on a hot day,He hopes that his three sons "must study"。Therefore,After arriving in Chongqing,I soon attended the nearby Lianglukou Central Primary School,Read until graduation from sixth grade。

Whenever my father gets a banquet order,Always rely on one's own strength,Complete it as a "family workshop" for individual workers,Assistant not found,There is no money to hire an assistant。When he is too busy,Occasionally use me, a man of about ten years old,Like going to the wet market to buy vegetables、Condiments,Or send a notification,Or run a little leg。As the saying goes,The children of the poor will become parents early。Although I am not mature enough to "take charge early",But I often help my father with small things、Calf running,Get some experience,It makes me less naive、Stupid、Incompetent。If you talk about me later,Still quite capable of doing things,Something to do with things,If you even have some "organizational talent",That’s probably because I learned how my father prepared the dishes、I was inspired there on how to arrange complex production processes。
