Book About:

This is a volume of The Government Martyrs book series that tells the biography of the post-revolution martyred ministers in plain language for the children. This section contains the biography of Shahid Hassan Abbaspor, the Minister of Energy in the martyr Rajaee administration who was martyred in the explosion of the Islamic Repub-lic Party headquarters. In the book, his biography is narrated from the perspective of his little son in eleven chap-ters. In one of the stories, he says, “On that cold day, I woke up in the morning. A freezing current penetrated the room from the outside. I looked out and saw that everywhere was covered white with the snow. Perchance they announce the schools’ shut down; I happily sat with my younger sister by the television and listened to the voice of the newscaster hoping that he would immediately announce the schools’ shut down. Fat chance, he did not say a word. After breakfast, I went to school. The teacher was absent and the classroom monitor was in charge. He demanded the kids go one by one to the blackboard and imitate their fathers. My body froze since I did not have a father. He was martyred when I was five and I did not know anything about him. I thought that I could fake it, but I could not bring myself to it. When I went to the blackboard, I said my father was a minister but he was mar-tyred. The kids thought I was joking and burst into laughter . .
