"When I was three or four years old, my father joined the army, and there was not even a photo of him left at home. In the past, I could only place a memorial tablet for my father at home on special occasions, and have never thought of seeing him again,"said 78-year-old Zhai Jianhua, in front of the tombstone ofher father,martyr Zhai Haiqing.
