We also want to be the Red Army.
It was calm after the storm. Chairman Mao marched on the muddy road with the Red Army team.
Suddenly a clear cry came from behind: "Uncle Red Army, wait!" Chairman Mao stopped and turned to see two children running towards the team. Sweating, they ran to Chairman Mao, looked at the tall head of the Red Army and said earnestly, "Uncle, we also want to be Red Army, please accept us!"
Chairman Mao looked at the two children up and down with a smile. They are wearing rags and sandals. A child is holding a broken straw hat and a small bag. Another child is also carrying a small schoolbag with a pair of cloth shoes tied to it. Chairman Mao knew that they were poor peasants' children and nodded and agreed to their demands.
A Red Army soldier turned to smile, as if to say, Welcome, the Red Army is your home.
