As early as 1998, Liu Yuxi had the idea of donating his body a hundred years later. In 2004, accompanied by his son Liu Xiaoling, he formally registered his body donation, writing on a copy on the inside page of the certificate of body donation, "Transplanting certain healthy organs to living people will be regarded as an extension of my own life." ”
The powerful words are the most sonorous remnants left by the veteran Liu Yuxi in the world. Liu Xiaoling was not surprised by his father's choice, "My father once wrote a sentence, hoping that more like-minded people would participate in this glorious cause. ”
Originally from Henan, Liu Yuxi took to the battlefield in 1945 and participated in more than 100 battles, and is a veteran of most of China. In March 1951, he actively responded to the call of the state to join the Chinese People's Volunteer Army and crossed the Yalu River to participate in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea.
When he was alive, as long as he talked about the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, Liu Yuxi always spoke sonorously, making people feel the patriotic heart of a veteran. Recalling his combat experience, he once said, "I am a revolutionary soldier, a member of the six million Chinese People's Liberation Army. Whenever he remembered his fallen comrades, he always cried.
In 1958, after Liu Yuxi returned to the local area, he actively participated in local construction. During his work, he always inspired himself with the spirit of Shangganling and ensured that his retirement would not fade. He worked in the telecommunications system for 8 years and in the radio station for 24 years, working with broadcasting all his life.

After retiring in December 1990, Liu Yuxi continued to exert his spare energy, joining the Changxing County New Fourth Army Research Association and the Changxing County Working Committee for Caring for the Next Generation, and participating in the New Fourth Army historical research and patriotic education and publicity activities.
"The beacon years have left me a precious spiritual treasure. One more year to live, I have to make good use of the time to tell more stories of that year. In order to let more people enter history and remember history, Liu Yuxi will make sufficient preparations before each sharing and lead everyone into the era of flames with passionate descriptions.
"In my heart, there is a touch of red that will remain forever. War is cruel, and many soldiers fell in the past, in exchange for the peace and freedom now, we must cherish it. "When he was young, he defended his family and the country, and after his death he donated his body, Liu Yuxi truly dedicated his life to the country and the people. (End)
