Rebirth of the Wild Age

Fan Jianchuan, born in Xikang, is a native of Jin Province. He was an educated youth and a soldier. The third class of military school students, after graduation, he became a teacher at the Military Medical University. After working as a teacher for eight years, he went into politics and became the (executive) deputy mayor of a prefecture-level city at the age of 34.

After only two years as deputy mayor, Fan Jianchuan chose to resign. He resigned not in response to the call to start a business, but because he likes to collect, and the salary of the deputy mayor cannot support this hobby at all. In order to make money, when he was the deputy mayor, he even went to the night market quietly to set up a stall. When he was recognized, he immediately caused a sensation in the city. He claimed that this was a personal experience of the market economy.

After resigning, Fan Jianchuan borrowed money to start a company with a friend. The whole family lived in a rental house, and his daughter could only sleep on the sofa. Seven years have passed, and now Fan Jianchuan's real estate company has ranked among the top 15 private companies in the province. Hurun obviously missed him in the 100 Rich List last year.

Fan Jianchuan finally has the money and time to collect. What he collects are not antique calligraphy and paintings, but gleaming bayonets, hideous and ugly gas masks, cold and hard steel helmets, dilapidated battlefield diaries...all items related to the Anti-Japanese War. within his collection.

After more than ten years of collecting career, his collection has piled up like a mountain. Last year, he was applying for the establishment of the Anti-Japanese War Museum, but it was a pity that he was not approved by the relevant departments.

In another time and space, several years later, Fan Jianchuan's Anti-Japanese War Museum was finally completed. He even built an earthquake museum. Wenchuan's pig named Pig Strong is kept in the earthquake museum in Fan Jianchuan.

Others collect collections for elegance and appreciation, but Fan Jianchuan builds museums everywhere. He owes 70 million yuan a year because of this, and his net worth of several billion can't afford him to build like this. I heard that he also wrote a suicide note in advance, asking his wife to peel off his skin after his death, make a big drum and put it in front of the Anti-Japanese War Museum.

Song Weiyang smiled and said, Boss Fan, you are very famous in the business circles of the whole province. Everyone knows that there is a real estate developer who was born as a mayor. He spends his days away from work and picks up garbage everywhere for collection.

It's called good things not going out, and bad things spread thousands of miles. Fan Jianchuan shook his head and smiled wryly.

Song Weiyang said: I think it's a good thing. There are thousands of real estate developers in China, but there is only one who is determined to build a museum of the Anti-Japanese War.

I like to hear that. Fan Jianchuan said happily.

Song Weiyang said: When you come back from Japan, I want to visit your collection.

Fan Jianchuan said: No problem, you are welcome to visit. I just want to pass the approval quickly, build the Anti-Japanese War Museum, and let more people visit my collection.

By the way, I remember there is a dead flag, maybe you can look for it. Song Weiyang said suddenly.

Fan Jianchuan said: I know that the real dead flag has been lost. The dead flag copied from memory by the person involved is now on display at the Beichuan Cultural Center. I even went to take photos.

It's a pity. Song Weiyang regretted.

Fan Jianchuan said with emotion: Yes, it's a pity. You don't know, when I saw the death flag for the first time, tears kept rolling in my eyes. The shock from the soul can't be expressed in words. You can also recite the complete content of the flag of death. A big death is written on a piece of white cloth. The national crisis is at the head of the Japanese invaders. The rise and fall of the country is everyone's responsibility. I want to serve, but I have passed my age. Fortunately, I have a son, so I consciously volunteer. I am given a flag and always carry it with me. Wipe the blood when you are injured, and wrap your body when you die. Go forward bravely and don't forget your origin Points. Father hand letter.'

Sitting next to Shen Si suddenly interjected: Is this a real story? This is the first time I've heard of it.

Fan Jianchuan nodded and said, It's true, the person who died in Banner passed away due to illness eight years ago. Unfortunately, I didn't hear about his deeds until after the old man passed away, so I didn't have the chance to visit him face to face.

He must be a fighting hero. Even Hong Weiguo, who had always been taciturn, spoke up.

Fan Jianchuan said like a few treasures: The story of this old gentleman is very wonderful, and he has escaped countless times. Because he was a teacher before joining the army, he could write and count, and he was in charge of the logistics and military supplies of the whole company. One silver dollar was not sent out because of a defect. He put it in the pocket of his clothes, and took it out to play with in his spare time. During a full-company charge, the old man was shot in the abdomen. After the battle, he found that the cotton coat and silver dollars were pierced, and even the silver dollars and the bullets were shot into his flesh. The old man soon became a company commander, led his troops to stop a squadron of Japanese troops crossing the water in Dongting Lake, wiped out more than 100 enemies, captured three steel boats, and was awarded the first-class medal in the war zone. As he said, he He sighed again, It's a pity, the life of the old man is not going well in his later years.

Song Weiyang was silent.

Hong Weiguo said: Boss Fan likes collecting anti-Japanese relics so much, have you ever been a soldier?

I've been in it before, Fan Jianchuan said with a smile, I was a soldier in 1975. After retiring from the army, I happened to be re-enrolled by the university, so I went to apply for the military academy again.

Hong Weiguo said, Then you are the old squad leader.

Song Weiyang explained: This is Hong Weiguo, my bodyguard, who used to be a scout.

Fan Jianchuan said: Then you are better than me. The scouts are very good, so I served as a conscript for three years. Besides, I am short-sighted. During the conscription medical examination, I cheated to pass, but I was still rejected. At that time Too weak, as an educated youth, I was starved and fainted twice, and I couldn’t even run during the physical examination.”

Then how did you become a soldier? Hong Weiguo asked curiously.

Fan Jianchuan said with a smile: I went to find the head of the conscription at that time, played the flute and wrote calligraphy for him. When the head saw that I was educated, he nodded and said: 'OK, you boy come here.' That's how I worked for two and a half years. Conscripts, the troops were suddenly transferred to fight back in self-defense.

Boss Fan has been on the battlefield? Hong Weiguo was in awe.

That's not the case. Fan Jianchuan shook his head and said, I even wrote the suicide note and wanted to kill the enemy and serve the country. In the end, I only fired a few shots on the border and withdrew without killing a single enemy. Then Inexplicably, he was transferred back to the original station, and when the three-year service period expired, he was discharged directly. Speaking of which, I am so envious of those comrades who have fought against the enemy with real swords and guns.

The two veterans chatted more and more happily, and began to tell interesting stories about the army, and even compared the army meals in the late 1970s and early 1990s.

The country was poor at that time, and the army was also poor, Fan Jianchuan said with a smile. The lard from the cooking team was often stolen. The steamed buns were cut open with a knife and the lard was stuffed inside, just like hamburgers today.

Hong Weiguo said: We did the same thing at that time. The training was too hard and there was no fuel, so we had to steal lard for tooth sacrifice.

I'm also a soldier. A passenger who was two rows away suddenly interjected and naturally joined the chat team.

Song Weiyang was left alone, but he didn't feel bored. It was interesting to listen to these guys chatting.

After getting off the plane, Song Weiyang handed out his business card: Boss Fan, if you have any difficulties in building the Anti-Japanese War Museum in the future, you can come to me at any time, and I will definitely help as much as I can.

Thank you very much. Fan Jianchuan put away the business card with a smile.
