I was born into an army family. My grandparents, my parents, my aunts and uncles were all in army. This is a photo of my grandparents. My grandpa was born in 1930. When he was 15-years old, he became a serviceman. He devoted 40 years to the army. My grandpa took part in the War of Liberation and the Korean War. Before his retirement, he was the commander of the sub-command in Xinjiang.[Photos provided to chinadaily.com.cn] |
