For the showtime champaign of study inwards the series, Korea.net asked our honorary reporters to send inwards a touching storey from their habitation communities. Here's our 5th storey on this subject, from Kazakhstan.
One of the nearly touching stories for me is the life storey of my grandfather, an ethnic Kazakhstani, Zhanaidar Bilyalov, who was a veteran of the Great Patriotic War (1941-1945) betwixt the Soviet Union too Nazi Germany. His woman parent died when he was or thus 8- or 9-years-old, thus his manlike somebody parent married for a minute time. Since World War II started inwards Europe inwards 1939, his father, Bilyal, left the menage unit of measurement inwards social club to serve inwards the USSR military machine somewhere close today's metropolis of Volgograd. The Battle of Stalingrad was a major battle on the Eastern Front of World War II, inwards which Nazi Deutschland too its allies fought the Soviet Union for command of the metropolis of Stalingrad, at nowadays Volgograd, inwards southern Russia, on the eastern boundary of Europe. Therefore, his step-mother locomote responsible for Zhanaidar too his step-sister. The step-mother was real harsh on footling Zhanaidar. She didn’t feed him well, giving him solely pocket-size loaves of bread, too oft pushed him to rest inwards a barn overnight, no affair that it was wintertime too that inwards Republic of Kazakhstan temperatures sometimes tin drib to minus 35 or forty C. It mightiness hold upward because of those mutual frigidness nights that he got frostbite, which made him endure from an awful eczema on both legs for the residuum of his life. After all his suffering, he decided to run away from habitation to the war.
As it happened, he was sent to the Khalkhin Gol River inwards Mongolia. The Battle of Khalkhin Gol was the decisive appointment of the undeclared Soviet-Japanese state of war fought amidst the USSR, Mongolia too Nippon inwards 1939. There, he served inwards the rear, generally because at that fourth dimension the frontline armies consisted of ethnic Russians. People of other ethnicities were to a greater extent than probable to hold upward sent to other divisions. Like many others, Zhanaidar was responsible for supplying military machine weapons to the frontline, including pocket-size arms, motorcar guns, artillery too bombs. Once when he was inwards the battlefield distributing weapons, a nation mine exploded adjacent to him. Luckily, he was hold upward too at nowadays was transported to a military machine hospital. It turned out that he got a contusion inwards his correct ear, which is why sometimes he couldn't hear people talking quietly too ever listened to his favorite telly tidings real loudly.
After he recovered, he left the forepart too went dorsum to Kazakhstan. However, he didn’t render home. Instead, he went to the metropolis of Karaganda where he applied to the Karaganda State University too studied pedagogy. After graduation, he came dorsum to his hometown too started to locomote every bit a instructor at a local school, teaching children of the people who had gone through the terrible state of war years. At the historic menses of 27, he got married to my grandmother and, at the same time, became an honored fellow member of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. Zhanaidar too his married adult woman had half dozen children. One of them is my mom, the solely daughter inwards the family. After retirement from the school, he started to grapple their household, including the livestock too the kitchen garden, spell helping his married adult woman to enhance the children during the economically hard postwar period.
Zhanaidar had quite a complex nature. That is why it wasn’t slow to larn along amongst him. Nevertheless, he ever fought for pedagogy too supported all his grandchildren’s intentions to study abroad or our attempts to test something new.
My grandfather, Zhanaidar Bilyalov, passed away inwards 2015 at the historic menses of 90, leaving all his savings too amazingly sincere state of war memoirs, too a few poems, to his children too wife. I'm 100 pct certain that he was too notwithstanding is a truthful hero who made an undeniable contribution to both the USSR's swell victory inwards World War II too likewise to the evolution of the people or thus him, convincing them past times his ain illustration to study too to better themselves from cradle to grave. I am thus proud that I'm a descendant of such a swell person!
