Chapter 1746: Red Plaid Skirt 3
Next, several elderly gentlemen came over, with gray hair and radiant spirits, full of vigor despite their age.
Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue quickly stood up to offer their seats, showing great respect, as each of them was an eminent old revolutionary.
Feng Qingxue did not continue dancing with Lu Jiang but listened attentively as the elders spoke confidently, discussing a variety of topics, starting from Big Head Gu to other heroes who sacrificed themselves, including challenges during the war and solutions, and also mentioned several famous battles in history and the arduous journey of climbing snow-capped mountains and crossing grasslands, many of which were unknown to most. Feng Qingxue listened with great interest.
She felt that the sacrifices of these veterans should be remembered by future generations.
Seeing her interest in the past, the elderly pioneers spoke with more enthusiasm, since children born in a peaceful era haven’t suffered the hardships of war and exploitation, and more and more of them are losing interest in pre-founding history and are unwilling to even listen.
Quietly, Feng Qingxue noted in her heart an emerging thought of being fortunate to live in a peaceful time.
As the ball neared its end, those seniors whom she had met for the first time smiled at Feng Qingxue and said, "Little girl, you’re nice. Come find us at Jade Spring Mountain when you have time; we have countless stories to share!"
Feng Qingxue replied respectfully, "If there’s a chance, I’ll certainly visit. I just hope you don’t mind me disturbing you."
"It’s no bother, no bother. We live in the sanatorium, and leisure still leaves us idle and quite lonely without anyone to converse with."
Most of these elders resided in the sanatorium at Jade Spring Mountain after retirement. Luo Cheng was there as well; they were here today just to enjoy the gathering. Feng Qingxue felt extremely fortunate to attend today, meeting these veterans.
