Leaning over and hugging in the midst of the flames of war The dying kiss before the smoke of the sky
Have you seen this picture? A female nurse hugged a wounded soldier, tears in her eyes, although it was only a photo, but it made our eyes red, the sadness in the photo brought us deeply into, as if in the war, watching the despair of comrades leaving.
This photo also became the last photo, the soldier in the photo, because he had never been in love, the last wish before his death was to let the female nurse kiss, the nurse tearfully agreed, the warrior fulfilled the wish to close his eyes, leaving a female nurse full of tears.
Now that 42 years have passed since the photo was taken, what happened to the female nurse?
Today, let's take a closer look at the story behind the photos.
The soldier in the photo is named Zhao Weijun, who was born in Gansu, because his family was poor and only read for a few years, and after dropping out of school, he worked as a farmer at home, and his grandfather had a patriotic heart and often told him some stories about the People's Liberation Army in the war era.
This also planted a seed of becoming a soldier in Zhao Weijun's heart, and in 1985, Zhao Weijun signed up to join the army and became a soldier.
In 1979, the counterattack against Vietnam had entered the end of the war, but the Vietnamese army was not willing, often harassing China's borders, in 1984 the Battle of Lao Shan officially began, in 1986 Zhao Wei army followed the troops into the Lao Shan battlefield.
This was the first time Zhao Weijun saw the cruelty of war, but he was not afraid and would not shrink back, following the troops to fight heroically with the enemy, on the battlefield, no one knew when death would come, Zhao Weijun was ready for sacrifice, but he did not know that death came so quickly.
Three months after entering the battlefield, zhao Weijun unfortunately stepped on a mine while performing a mission, and with an explosion, Zhao Weijun fell into a coma, and soon after he woke up, still secretly glad that he was still alive.
However, at that time, the medical equipment was too poor, Zhao Weijun was too badly injured, and although he woke up after treatment, he soon fell into a state of high fever.
During that time, he often fell into a coma, the wound also appeared to be infected, and the medical staff performed amputation for him in order to save his life, but after the amputation, his body still did not improve.
He himself knew that he could not survive, from the moment he stepped into the battlefield, he was ready to die, he was not afraid of death, but he was worried about his parents.
Later, he made a request to the nurse who took care of him to turn him in the direction of Lanzhou, and Zhao Weijun looked at the direction of Lanzhou and shed tears.
There are still many things in his life that he has not done, and he also wants to enjoy the sweetness without falling in love, so he made a request to the nurse who took care of him, can he hug him, the nurse who took care of him nodded fiercely, leaned over and hugged Zhao Weijun, and then left a kiss on his forehead and the corner of his mouth.
This scene happened to be seen by the war photographer, and this photo appeared, and then Zhao Weijun, who was only 18 years old, closed his eyes and the female nurse was full of tears.
This female nurse is Zhang Ru, and she will never forget that moment in her future life.
Zhang Ru was born in a military family, her grandfather was an old Red Army, her parents were also national leaders, she studied medicine at university, and went to the army after graduation. He worked as a medical worker, and then came to the Laoshan Battlefield with the troops.
She saved one life after another and nursed one warrior after another, but she failed to leave Zhao Weijun's life, which also became her lifelong regret.
The hero in the photo has passed away and left this world, so how did the female nurse live afterwards?
After the Battle of Laoshan, Zhang Ru returned to her original place, and later retired to Northwestern Polytechnical University, and the embrace of Zhao Weijun has been involving her.
Zhang Ru
She once said with tears: That was my first hug, and I want to hold you all the time.
That is also her most sincere emotion, she can not forget the sacrifice of the soldiers in Laoshan, nor can she forget Zhao Weijun, in 2011, she and her former comrades-in-arms, formed a team full of "awe and love", and then went to worship the sacrificed comrades-in-arms.
One by one, they searched for the families of the martyrs, traveled to 9 provinces in 5 years, visited the families of 43 martyrs, and with their actions, more and more people joined them.
They poured a glass of wine and a bouquet of flowers for the sacrificial warriors, telling them about the peace of the present and the beauty of the present.
On May 1, 2015, Zhang Ru and her comrades-in-arms came to Zhao Weijun's tombstone, and Zhang Ru looked at the tombstone with tears on her face, which can be imagined in her pain.
On the Qingming Festival in 2018, Zhang Ru also went to visit the ashes memorial hall of Chen Gang, the former signal soldier of the 67th Army, who was only 18 years old in the year of his death.
After that, she has always cared for the families of those martyrs, doing her best to help them solve their difficulties in life, and now that she is old, her heart is not old, and she is still full of love.
Zhao Weijun sacrificed, but his spirit will remain forever, so what years are there to be quiet? It's just that someone carries the weight for us.
