Gu Nianzhi looked up at the chandelier on the roof beam of the auditorium, tears welling up in her eyes.
But she tried her best to hold her head high and not let her tears fall.
General Ji finally said, "Although they didn't ask for anything in return, we can't ignore their efforts and simply enjoy the fruits of their labor."
"I have already informed Speaker Long and Prime Minister Bai of the great contributions of these two martyrs. Our country will take full charge over their funerals. Their contributions will be recorded in our history books and passed down through the generations."
"Their daughters will also receive the best treatment from us."
"Their deeds will not be unknown. We will never forget them!"
After General Ji finished speaking, the master of ceremony announced, "Attention! Salute! Sound the cannon of salute!"
Gu Nianzhi counted carefully. A twenty-one cannon salute was of the highest level.
