day.

The teacher stood on the podium and faced his students, and said passionately: "Students, since the September 18th Incident in 1931, Japanese imperialism not only invaded our three northeastern provinces, but also gradually spread the war to the mainland, causing our entire Chinese nation to fall under the iron hoof of the Japanese invaders. Forty million compatriots lived in dire straits."

The students listened attentively.

"However, our Chinese nation has always been inhumiliated and inviolable. The people of our whole country must unite and drive the Japanese invaders out of our China as soon as possible!"

A classmate stood up and said, "Teacher, when I grow up, I must join the army and defend our country."

"I'm going to be a scientist, build a lot of guns and cannons to fight the enemy."

"Well, okay!" The teacher nodded after hearing the students' speeches, and said with relief: "As long as you have confidence and determination, our China will definitely have great hope in the future."

Hong Zhi: "Sister-in-law, to be honest, I miss you so much over the years."

Grandma Sanpang: "We are thinking of you too! But after the accident that day, because the enemy was trying every means to investigate us, we had to be transferred to the countryside. There was no time to notify you. So, Hong Zhi, sister-in-law always felt sorry for you!"

Hong Zhi: "No, sister-in-law, I know your situation at that time. You can't blame you."

Grandma Sanpang noticed his face again at this time and asked with concern: "Hong Zhi, how did your face become like this? Ah!"

"Oh! Don't mention it!" As if touching his sadness, Hong Zhi sighed and said, "Sister-in-law, I am working in a dyeing shop. The boiler exploded and hot water splashed out and burned."

Grandma Sanfat: "Oh! Didn't you work in an iron factory? Why did you go to a dyeing shop again?"

Hong Zhi: "That's a long story."

day.

The teacher had already heard a Japanese soldier rushing over outside, and said to the students: "Okay! Everyone, read the book!"

The students lowered their heads and read the book in a pretentious manner.

The Japanese soldiers rushed in, patrolled for a while, and asked with a glaring eyes: "What were you doing just now?"

Teacher: "I asked my classmates to read books."

Japanese soldier: "No!"

The teacher asked back, "Oh! You said we are not reading books, so what do you think we are doing?"

The Japanese soldier looked at it and was speechless when asked, not knowing how to answer.

The teacher looked as if nothing happened.

The Japanese soldiers stood there and paused for a while, and made themselves bored, so they turned around and walked out of the classroom.

The teacher and classmates burst into laughter as soon as they saw them go out.
