少年儿童朋友,你们生在新中国,生活是幸福、多彩的;而我在旧中国的童年和少年时代,是悲惨的。我8岁上了不到一个月的学,就顶债给地主放猪,9岁给日本侵略者三家工厂当童工,受尽日本工头的欺压。我15岁又替有病的父亲当劳工,每天下到90多米深的矿井采矿石,九死一生。为跟着共产党解放全国受苦人,我1947年参加中国人民解放军。参军时,我不识字,是文盲战士。1948年2月,我调到主力部队,打下鞍山之后,老百姓慰问部队一点毛巾和布鞋,也有点钱。 Children and children, you were born in New China, life is happy and colorful; and I was in old China’s childhood and adolescence, is tragic. When I was eight years old, I studied in less than a month and took the debt to the landlord for pigs. At the age of nine, I worked as a child laborer at three Japanese invaders and were bullied by Japanese foreman. When I was 15, I worked as a laborer for a sick father. Every day I went to a mining stone in a mine more than 90 meters deep and died a long time ago. To follow the Communist Party to liberate the nation from suffering, I joined the Chinese People’s Liberation Army in 1947. When joining the army, I was illiterate and was a illiterate soldier. February 1948, I transferred to the main force, after laying Anshan, the people condolences to the army a little towel and cloth shoes, but also a little money.
