1244 Monument on Pearl

Yao Lei:

Since he was no longer around, he would use this method to guard the coastline.

The boat traveled for a few hours and got close to Pearl Beach.

Tong Siyao didn’t get any more seasickness after seeing Yao Lei, probably because she was too excited.

Pearl Beach was completely a military fortress. From afar, he could see soldiers on guard and cruisers coming and going.

Tong Siyao and the others were also on cruisers. After landing, they saw a broken warship standing in front of them, and there were many people on it.

It was a statue.

Tong Siyao’s hands trembled. She had a guess.

Sheng Yiting held her hand and brought her to the statue. On the Pearl.

As expected.

Tong Siyao’s tears flowed down.

Twelve years ago, the battleship that Tong Yuan had boarded was called the Pearl, and the entire ship had sunk.

But now, it was standing there, as if it would guard the coastline forever.

“They’re really bold.” Tong Siyao said with hatred.

yes, ran ran. Sheng Yiting led her to the back of the sculpture. you do it.

Tong Siyao looked at the human figures on the sculptures. She didn’t know if any of them were built in the same way as Tong Yuan.

He turned to the back of the sculpture, which was densely engraved with words.

Tong Siyao looked at it. It seemed to be a person’s name. She suddenly had gooseb.u.mps all over.

“The names are arranged in pinyin order and are divided into three parts,” Sheng Yiting said. At the very front was the list of those who had died, in the middle was the list of those who had gone missing, and at the back was the list of those who had survived. All the soldiers who partic.i.p.ated in this war will be remembered here.”

Tong Siyao walked to the far left and looked up.

She reached out her hand. She had to tiptoe to touch the name on the top.

As for the name at the bottom, she had to squat down to see it clearly.

She placed her finger on the name at the top and slowly slid down. After sliding down one line, she moved to the second line.

Tong Yuan had sacrificed himself. Back then, she and her mother had gone to Xizha airport to pick up his body.

At that time, there were reporters and students. She and her mother stood at the front of the crowd and saw Tong Yuan’s coffin covered in flowers and national flags. It was carried out by fully armed soldiers, and there were armed soldiers guarding the front and back of the coffin.

Tong Siyao’s tears blurred her eyes. Her fingers moved, and she even forgot to think about the pinyin of those surnames. When she saw Tong Yuan’s name, she almost missed him.

She touched his name, and tears gradually fell.

She took off the silk scarf around her neck and used it to slowly wipe the dust on the monument.

After she was done, she stood up and looked at the entire list.

Sheng Yiting stood at the side, not saying a word.

After a long time, Tong Siyao suddenly walked to the front, stood on her toes, and started to wipe from the top with a silk towel.

Sheng Yiting saw that she was working hard on her tiptoes and reached out to help her. When he reached a suitable position, he let her wipe it herself.

When the first letter of the name jumped from y to a, Tong Siyao knew that it was a list of missing people.

“Have you found all these missing people?” she asked.

“They went missing because their bodies were not found.” Sheng Yiting shook his head.

Tong Siyao pursed her lips and couldn’t stop her tears from flowing.

When they were alive, they protected the country, but the country did not protect them. They were dead. The country couldn’t even find their bodies.

there was an explosion, and some people might have been ridiculed. Sheng Yiting sighed and did not continue.
