重逢：旧金山老照片里的抗战同学
Xiaozhu Reading
When Xiaoxue, a Chinese girl from San Francisco, was discussing homework with her friends Lisa and Kevin at home, she accidentally discovered that the background of her grandpa's black-and-white graduation photo was the school's dilapidated old auditorium. This discovery brought back memories of my great-grandfather - he tremblingly held out a wire recorder tightly wrapped in oilcloth and a steel wire tape that broke when touched. When the machine was running, voices from eighty years ago struggled through the noise: "Fight the Japanese" and "Take responsibility for the rise and fall of the world." These were the shouts and choruses of classmates who had returned to China to join the war and never came back. In order to help Grandpa Zeng "see" his old friend again, Xiaoxue promised to use AI to repair the recording. The process was full of thorns: some people in the community questioned the "sensitivity" of the matter, and my mother was worried; the player damaged the steel belt, and the AI produced scary sound effects in the early stage, and the technology repeatedly hit the wall; there was very little crowdfunding funding, and even friends wanted to give up due to pressure. But Xiaoxue did not back down. With the support of the principal of the Chinese school, she obtained special funds and professional computing power. She also enlisted the help of retired engineer Mr. Chen to complete the digitization of the recordings. She also found resonance among the elderly in the community - Grandma Lin donated money to her father who was close to the silent war during the war. Chen Zhihong's descendants also recovered their family memories through the project. As the Victory Day of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression approached, Grandpa Zeng suddenly fell ill and was hospitalized. Xiaoxue and her partners urgently set up a live broadcast and transmitted the restored video to the ward - dynamic footage of teenagers in colorful school uniforms singing in the old auditorium. Grandpa Zeng opened his eyes in the hospital bed, looked at the vivid old friends on the screen, and burst into tears, completing this "reunion" that spanned eighty years.
