An old hero returns to the "goose-feather" militia brigade (老英雄回到雁翎队)

The title refers to the militia in the war against Japan, which in some areas fought with primitive locally-made shotguns using a goose-feather over the touch-hole to keep the gunpowder dry. Training with the contemporary militia reminds the old soldier of his glory days. No publication details or price given.
