The Interesting Story of an Art Student's Acquaintance with Martyr Janbozorgi:

I was Looking for the One who Resembled Martyrs they Said

Navideshahed: Someday one of my friends who was not familiar with the Holy Defense so much said: “I’m looking for someone who is a strange person and I really doubt about him whether he is alive or not?! What do you mean by the words ‘whether he is alive’? he said: “Do you remember the camping that we had in the southern cities of Iran, he is so similar to the martyrs! When he comes to the university, he is the same as a shade and it seems that no one sees him!”?
