哥，父病危，速回。当他带着妻子和孩子从国外回来时，他的父亲再也见不到他了。他望着父亲被病痛折磨得已瘦得脱相的脸，泪如雨下，扑通跪倒在父亲的床前。他使劲打着床帮，任怎样呼喊父亲再也听不到了。

 料理完后事，妹妹握着一把钥匙说：父亲的遗嘱都在这里。他们共同打开了保险柜。里边有一个不锈钢的盒子，打开盒子，他愣住了。只见里边有大小十枚勋章。他的父亲已94岁，是抗日战争期间参军的老八路。后来，又参加了解放战争、抗美援朝、祖国的边疆建设，多次立功，离休老干部。

他总觉得这些年父亲省吃俭用，会给他留下不少“货”，可眼前每个勋章下都压着一个小纸条：这枚是抗日战争立的三等功，这枚是解放战争立的二等功，那枚是抗美援朝立下的三等功……并简单记录了每场战役的时间。

下边有一个信封，打开，是父亲的遗嘱：孩子，我和你母亲风风雨雨走过了70年的路程，我们一路扶持并肩战斗，现已到了人生的终点：人生自古谁无死，我经历过无数的枪林弹雨，早已把死置之度外。在战场上，我看到无数次我们的战友在炮火中倒下，又在炮火中永生。孩子啊，要珍惜今天的幸福生活，爸爸知道自己的时间已不长了，爸爸和你妈商量后决定将所有的积蓄都上交党费。爸爸妈妈希望你们自己去努力，不要忘本，不要躺在父母的功册上睡大觉，一定要行得正，不要在多彩的世界里迷失自己。爱你们的爸妈！

几天后，他按父亲的遗嘱，完成了他的遗愿，署名：人民功勋 __一位老党员。

Feat (A Flash Fiction)

By Han Jin (China)

Tr .Zhong Quan (US)

“Elder brother, father is critically ill, please come back soon.” That was the message left on his phone.  Alas he returned too late from abroad so his father never saw him again.  He looked at his father's face, which was so thin after the pain he had suffered. Tears rained down from the son’s face as he knelt down before his father's bed.  He vigorously thumped the side of the bed, calling to his father, but to no avail as his dad was no longer hearing. 

After taking care of the funeral, his sister held up a key and said: “Father's will is in here.”  They   opened the safe together to find a stainless steel box inside. He was stunned when he opened the box revealing ten medals of various sizes inside.  His father was 94 years of age and had joined the army during the Anti-Japanese War.  Later, he participated in the War of Liberation, in Resisting U.S. Aid to Korea, and in the border construction of the motherland making, many significant contributions.  He had been a member of several elite.

His son had always felt that his father had been very frugal over his life, and would thus leave him a legacy, if not of lots of money, then many material artefacts. Was this it?  Just medals.  Under each one there was a small note: This is a third-class merit in the War of Resistance against Japan.  This one is the second-class merit in the War of Liberation, and this is the third-class merit in the War of Resisting the United States and Aid to Korea... each one simply recording date and time of each battle.

Opening the envelope he opened the will and read aloud: ‘My children, your mother and I have gone through ups and downs for 70 years. We have supported each other and fought side by side all the way, and now we have reached the end of life.  Death comes to all but life goes on. I have experienced a countless rain of bullets, and yet still lived already putting death aside.  On the battlefield, I have seen on countless occasions our comrades in arms fall down in gunfire but have also lived forever in gunfire.  Children, cherish today's happy life. I know that my time has nearly come. Your mother and I have discussed what should happen with our life savings and decided to pay it all into the party funds.  Mom and Dad hope that you will always work hard, never forgetting your roots. Don't ‘sleep on your parents' workbook’, behave righteously, and don't lose yourself in the sinful.  Love from your parents!

A few days later, according to his father’s will, his last wish was fulfilled.

Signed: People’s Merit ＿ an old party member.
