"The comrades who have won first-class military honors are Qin Jian and Tian Niu! Please come forward to receive the award on their behalf..." Zhang Jianguo said solemnly, his gaze then turned to An Hao sitting among the audience.
An Hao went up to the stage and received the honorary certificate, scanning the audience and noticing many warriors with unmistakable sorrow on their faces.
As soon as she opened her mouth, tears slowly streamed down to her chin, "Qin Jian once told me that the hardest thing for him to give up in his lifetime would be taking off this military uniform and leaving his brothers in arms. Every honor he received was inseparable from your support. If he could be here to receive this first-class award himself, I believe he would be even more excited than I am right now!"
Her few words made the warriors present shed tears, many of whom were Qin Jian's brothers and admirers; his departure had truly devastated many of them.
