A quest to find relatives of heroes who fell

By Zhao Ruixue in Jinan | China Daily | Updated: 2019-04-01 07:47

One man has launched an inspirational quest to find the relatives of those who fell in the service of their country. A month ago, a letter was delivered to a post office in Nanjing, capital of Jiangsu province. Nothing unusual in that. But what was strange, and deeply touching, was the story behind the letter.

It was addressed to martyr Wang Weihua. On the envelope was written "Wang Weihua (20 years old) who died in December 1947 at the Heze battle. Request the postman to try one more time to help the martyr find his home".

This is the sixth year the letter has been mailed. This time, postmen requested police help. After double checking their archives, including the history of the address and the martyr's family tree, the police believe the name of the martyr should be Wang Dianhua, not Wang Weihua.
