Veteran recounts heroic tales of wartime
China DailyWang Kechang, 91, tells stories of the war. Wang Kechang, a 91-year-old former militia member from Zhucun village in Linshu county, Shandong's Linyi, possesses a true passion for telling young people touching stories about the war, in order to give them an insight into the "Yimeng spirit". When he was 18, Wang served as a militia member during the War of Liberation, and was one of the more than 1.2 million people who supported the army at that time. "People in our village supported the army in various ways such as collecting food for them, making shoes and taking care of the wounded," says Wang, adding that over 100 villagers joined the army. A troop from the Eighth Route Army bravely fought against more than 500 invaders at Zhucun for more than six hours on Jan 24, 1944, which was also the eve of Spring Festival that year.
