Chapter 276

"Chasing Dreams with a Pure Heart" is a very inspirational song.

The "pure heart" in the song originally refers to those young people who put in sweat and effort for their dreams and persist in chasing them.

However, it is equally appropriate when applied to China.

Can't the "pure heart" be the red, vibrant China?

And can't that dream be the Rabbit's dream?

Every Rabbit has a dream of a great nation!

"Run forward, facing cold eyes and mockery.

How can one feel the vastness of life without experiencing hardships?

Fate cannot make us kneel and beg for mercy.

Even if blood is spilled all over our embrace.

Keep running, carrying the pride of a pure heart.

How can one see the brilliance of life without persisting to the end?

Rather than lingering on, it's better to burn with passion.

One day, it will sprout again..."

At the end of the animation, You Mingyue's powerful and penetrating singing voice echoed continuously.

Those old photographs.

That desperate, nuclear-explosion-level "Run forward," paired with the Rabbit army crossing the Great River.

At this instant, across the country, countless people were streaming with tears.

In the Imperial Capital, an old man with white hair but a straight posture listened to the singing and watched the photos that kept appearing in "Year Hare Affair," his old tears streaming down.

His name was Hao Aiguo.

He was a veteran of the Korean War.

He was originally just accompanying his grandson to watch cartoons.

But he ended up seeing a rabbit with a five-pointed star on its chest. As the plot progressed, when he finally saw the countless Rabbit army crossing the river in the dark, amidst the singing, he could no longer hold back his tears.

He remembered those years, those things...

"Imperialism will never give up its desire to destroy us!"

"It was so hard to establish the new China, we must never let them destroy it again!"

"If they want to invade our country, we won't agree!"

"Charge, charge, charge, block them!"

"Fire at me!"

"As long as we are here, the position is here! If the land is here, we are here; if the land is gone, we are dead!"

"Kill!!!!"

"Aiguo, I can't make it anymore. Don't cry, live well. If you can go back, help me pass a message to my family: your son is unfilial, I can't... take care of my parents until the end..."

"Brother Hao, please... please, help me tell... Yingzi, don't... wait for me anymore... let her... find a good man and marry him... I, I've let her down."

Amidst Hao Aiguo's streaming tears, his memory returned to that night.

To fight for the 302 Highlands, the coalition forces led by the Beautiful Country launched a fierce offensive.

In the sky, all kinds of bombs and shells whistled down.

On the ground, the enemy launched wave after wave of charges.

And the regiment he was in held off the enemy on the position for seven days and seven nights.

Even the position itself was bombed down by more than a meter.

In the end.

Of the entire company, only three people were left alive.

And he was one of them.

Many comrades-in-arms, before they died, were spitting blood, on their last breath, giving him their final words.

And even more comrades didn't even have the chance to give their final words.

"Comrades..."

"Bang bang bang!"

"Da da da da da!"

"Du du du du du..."

Vaguely, he seemed to hear the sounds of gunfire, artillery, and the bugle call for a charge...

In his eyes, the smiling faces of his comrades seemed to appear.

No one knew how they survived back then.

Just like no one knew how the Rabbit survived back then.

All that was known was that the final result was that a backward agricultural country had pinned the world's most powerful industrial country, along with its bunch of lackeys, to the ground and rubbed them into the dirt, forcing them to the negotiating table!

Establishing the nation with this battle!

Raising the nation's prestige with this battle!

Deterring the petty villains with this battle!

Since then, no one dared to look down on China again!

"Grandpa, don't cry."

Hao Aiguo's grandson handed him a tissue.

Hao Aiguo smiled while tears streamed down his face.

Wasn't that battle for the sake of China today?
