我的家乡在山东省掖县前北流村,1944年秋的一天,村里来了一位抗日游击队队长,他叫刘宝林。这个刘宝林貌不惊人,矮矮的个子,走起路来还有点儿瘸。不过当我们一帮小青年得知他的瘸腿是战争留下的残疾时,刘队长的形象立刻就高大起来。我就是受到刘队长的鼓动参加革命的。我跟着他鞍前马后,当时看起来一些不起眼的事,如今回想起来却也很惊心动魄呢! My hometown was in Beiliu village, Yexian County, Shandong Province. One day in the autumn of 1944, an anti-Japanese guerrilla captain came from the village called Liu Baolin. This Liu Baolin is not surprising, short and tall, walked a bit lame. However, when a group of our young people learned that his lame leg was a disability left by the war, the image of Captain Liu immediately began to rise tall. I was inspired by Liu captain to participate in the revolution. I followed him saddle before the horse, then looks a few humble things, but in retrospect it is also very soul-stirring too!
