"Don't underestimate my mother. She fought against the Japanese invaders when she was young and even served as a female spy. My father was also a veteran. They both walked over 8,000 miles in the Long March, traversing snowy mountains and prairies, facing life and death situations. When the country was established, they were both old and sick and naturally retired. They stayed in their hometown and didn't want to burden the country. They only said they were retired veterans and revealed nothing more."

Cheng Baoguo sighed, "The situation in our hometown was dire and many people died of starvation. My parents came to find me with the last bit of their food, hoping I could help. However, they overestimated their physical strength and gave their food to a starving child halfway through their journey. This act of kindness fortunately led them to Comrade Qingxue, who saved them from starving to death."
