During Deng Shi's visit to the Yimeng Mountain ship, the crew presented him with souvenirs. In late spring and early summer, a green alleyway on Kongjiang Road in Yangpu District, Shanghai, was bustling with greenery. Xue Wei, a representative of the Navy's Yimeng Mountain Ship, and his team visited the home of Deng Shi, a 91 year old retired veteran and former apprentice mechanic of the Yimeng Mountain Ship. Deng Shi opened the door early and waited for the arrival of his "mother's family". Deng Lao, we're here to see you. You look more energetic than before! This is a gift we have specially prepared for you... "As soon as the representatives of the officers and soldiers entered the house, they lined up neatly and saluted Deng Shi with a military salute. Deng Shi quickly greeted the officers and soldiers to sit down, tightly holding Xue Wei's hand and chatting about daily life. Turning the clock back to April 22nd, on the occasion of the 76th anniversary of the founding of the People's Navy, the Navy's Yimengshan and Xi'an ships docked at the Shanghai North Bund International Passenger Transport Center pier and opened to the public. Deng Shi, who is accustomed to listening and watching news programs every day, learned that the Yimeng Mountain Ship and Xi'an Ship will be open for visits from April 22nd to 23rd. He immediately called his son to ask where the Yimeng Mountain Ship is docked and how to visit. After investigation, it was learned that the Yimeng Mountain ship is docked at the Shanghai North Bund International Passenger Transport Center pier. As it is the first time it is open to the public, the admission tickets have already been fully booked. Deng Shi did not give up. He took out a yellowed cloth chest badge from his treasured old military uniform and hurriedly rushed to visit the site with his son's company. After arriving at the scene, Deng Shi handed out his cloth chest tag to Xue Kangtai, the officer in charge of security at that time, and asked quietly: "Young man, I'm a veteran of the Yimeng Mountain Ship. Can you accommodate me and I want to 'go home' to have a look?" After receiving the cloth chest tag, Xue Kangtai saw the words "the Chinese People's Liberation Army" printed on one side and the words "Deng Shi, the Yimeng Mountain Ship of the Fifth Fleet of the Navy, and the apprentice chief mechanic and electrical engineer" on the other side. Realizing that the veteran in front of him might be a former crew member of the Yimengshan ship, Xue Kangtai immediately reported the situation to Xue Wei, the officer in charge of the open day activities on the Yimengshan ship, through the intercom. In no time, Xue Wei and two officers and soldiers saw Deng Shi in the personal queue passage beside the Yimeng Mountain ship. After checking the chest badge and other relevant information, Xue Wei immediately organized the officers and soldiers on the ship's side to open a green channel for Deng Shi. Xue Wei said, "At that moment, I thought Deng Lao was worth climbing onto his' new home 'under everyone's gaze." Deng Shi stepped onto the gangway and stared closely ahead, as if returning to that passionate and burning era. In the past, we used sampans to transport ammunition, but now this iron guy can load tanks! "Deng Shi told the new generation of crew members of the Yimengshan ship the story of that time." At that time, the deck of our old warship was rusty, and steam was pervasive in the engine room. We called it the 'offshore boiler room'. Under such conditions, we used canvas to plug leaks and wrenches to repair pipelines, guarding the 'heart' of the warship in the surging waves. "After the visit, in the afterglow of the sunset, Deng Shi and the officers and soldiers of the Yimengshan ship saluted each other and left contentedly. It is understood that in 1949, Deng Shi became the first group of students in the PLA Naval School. After graduating from the Naval Academy in 1953, Deng Shi was assigned to the Yimeng Mountain Ship as a sergeant major in electrical engineering. In a battle, the steering gear of the Yimengshan ship was severely overloaded and the engine room was filled with white smoke. Deng Shi, with his excellent professional skills, ensured the smooth sailing of the ship and successfully completed the combat mission. Therefore, he was promoted to apprentice mechanical and electrical chief in advance. In January 1955, Deng Shi participated in the Liberation of Yijiangshan Island campaign with the Yimengshan ship and successfully completed the established combat mission. Open the gift specially brought by the representatives of the officers and soldiers of the Yimeng Mountain Ship - a photo album that records the development history of the Yimeng Mountain Ship. Deng Shi saw the fleet of ships that cut through the waves and waves in the photo album, as well as the new generation Yimeng Mountain ship training with the words "Embracing the World and Sharpening the Sword in Deep Blue" printed on it. Suddenly, he straightened his waist and exclaimed, "You have built a powerful navy!" Later, Deng Shi also took out old photos that he had treasured for many years and shared them with the officers and soldiers, recalling the comrades who fought with him and the places where they had fought. He couldn't help but choked up and said, "In the Battle of Yijiangshan Island, after landing on the island, I walked up from the engine room and saw that some comrades on the deck had sacrificed and been injured... They are the real heroes The sunlight shone through the window, and before I knew it, it was already noon. As he bid farewell to the representatives of the Yimeng Mountain warship officers and soldiers, Deng Shi instructed, "Now our motherland is strong and the people's lives are happy. But you must remember that these are hard won and earned through the sacrifice and dedication of countless revolutionary martyrs. You must practice and strengthen your skills, and guard the thousands of miles of maritime territory
