Approaching us in the year of 2017 is the 80^th anniversary of the July 7 Event of 1937 which marked the beginning of the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression. To remember the history and national humiliation, the Morality Society of Honors School organized volunteers to pay a visit to veteran TANG Zeqi and YANG Shuding on April 16^th and May 6^th respectively.

TANG and YANG felt no more than happy at the visits of volunteers. Holding volunteer’s hand, they shared their experiences in the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, and the volunteers listened carefully and took notes attentively.

The two veterans both took part in the War in 1938 when Chinese nation reached a point where its very existence was at stake. They left their families and joined in the battle, devoting themselves to the great patriotic war.

TANG was a member of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, and he took part in crossing the savage mountains and the Objecting Burma War. After the victory of Chinese People’s War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, TANG attended the trial of Nanjing Military Court against Japanese war criminals. He escorted Tani Hisao, No. 1 war criminal in Nanjing Massacre, to the execution ground to be executed by shooting.

YANG was once in the Loyalty and Salvation Army. He concealed himself in the Government of Wang Jingwei illegal Reorganized National Government to assassinate traitors. TANG is now 98 years old, and he is childless with only two little dogs as his companions. He treated the volunteers as his family members and went out to see them off. Volunteers could still see him watching them leave from the side mirror when the car had already gone far away.

The visits have deeply touched the volunteers. “TANG is just like a neighboring grandpa who is nice and kind. 96 years old as he is, he still goes to the market to buy foods and does morning exercises. He repeatedly urged us to study hard and serve the country when we left his house,” says GUO Meixia, a student of Class 1 of Grade 2017 of Honors School. “TANG talked about stories happening more than 70 years ago as they just happened yesterday. I wish he can keep the good health forever,” says DIAO Hanyu, a student of Class 7 of Grade 2017 of Honors School, “My patriotic feelings have much been enhanced through this volunteer activity”.
