1972年冬天,16岁的我接到《入伍通知书》参军来到了西北。也许是历史的巧合,家父1933年参加红军时也是16岁,我所在部队地区恰好也是当年家父与国民党“马匪”部队作战负伤的地方,我被分配到的某部雷达站甘肃通渭县,又是家父当年消灭了敌人邮电所的地方。 The winter of 1972, 16-year-old I received a “notice of enlistment” to join the army came to the northwest. It may be a historical coincidence that my father, who joined the Red Army in 1933, was 16 years old. The area where my troops belonged was just the place where the fighting against the “bandit army” of the KMT’s KMT and KMT troops happened. I was assigned to a certain radar station in Tongwei County, Gansu Province, It was also where my father destroyed the enemy post office.
