![]() Qian Jianmin, a 92-year-old veteran who was blinded during the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, has finally realized his long-cherished dream of touching a modern armored vehicle. Accompanied by his daughter and PLA soldiers, Qian visited an armored troop in Jiangsu province on Dec. 13, touching China's most advanced armored vehicle, the Type-99 tank. Six tanks honked their horns to pay tribute to Qian. Qian's wish received widespread public support after a volunteer posted it online, and many people contacted the military to help the deserving veteran. [Photo: Xinhua/Ji Chunpeng] |
