After losing touch and passing two decades without speaking, two veterans happened to meet in the intensive care unit of the affiliated hospital of Sun Yat-Sen University in Shenzhen, Guangdong province on April 20.
Zhuang Shuifa, 88, and Lin Shuishou, 90, served together in the Dongjiang column of Guangdong People's Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Force during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression in the 1940s.
Both were hospitalized because of severe pulmonary infections. Through casual chatting with the nurses, Zhuang realized that the patient next to him was none other than his former comrade-in-arms. The two old friends have cheered each other on throughout their respective recoveries, and even plan to be discharged from hospital together.
