On the way back, Gu Xiaoxi held the badge tightly in her hand.

...

The next day

Martyrs' Park!

For the first time, Gu Xiaoxi saw the true face of Number Seventeen.

The color photo on the tombstone depicted a beautiful woman, at the age of twenty-eight, the most beautiful time for a woman. She hadn't even married before she bade farewell to her white-haired, elderly parents.

Standing in front of Number Seventeen's parents, Gu Xiaoxi bowed deeply to them. Both elderly people had been soldiers, and their daughter was their lifelong pride.

Though dead, her honor remained!

"Girl, you shouldn't feel burdened. On the battlefield, comrades trust each other, it's a kind of trust, a kind of fellowship, so my daughter would definitely be proud! We are proud of her too!" Number Seventeen's old father patted Gu Xiaoxi on the shoulder. Despite his grief at losing his child, he understood better than anyone that if there were no sacrifices, there would be no war.
