Veteran revisits battlefields, relives memories of war

The son of a former soldier plans to write a book about his father's experiences

Age 87, veteran soldier Zhu Wenbin felt it was a matter of urgency that he revisited the battlefields where he fought for New China.

He and three of his comrades-in-arms, who were living in Zhengzhou, capital of Henan province, promised to revisit the battlefields together several years ago. "Unfortunately, two of them have passed away and the other is bedridden," Zhu said. "So I feel it's time to make the trip and honor those friends who sacrificed their lives for the country."
