“It had not been repaired when I was in high school. That day I went to school for morning self-study and saw that before dawn, there were already people outside the school waiting to see off the People’s Liberation Army soldiers. It turned out that the troops wanted to leave early in the morning to avoid seeing off the soldiers. The villagers did not need to accept the gifts prepared by the villagers, but the villagers got up earlier and made sure to come to see him off. I was very shocked at the time.” The middle-aged man continued.
