"A big river with wide waves, the wind blows rice and flowers on both sides." People who have seen the movie "Shangganling" will not be unfamiliar with this song, as soon as the song sounds, everyone will think of Wang Lan, a female hygienist with a smile like a flower. In the film, she carefully cares for the wounded, and has touched countless outsiders in the play in action and spirit. Art comes from life, and it is said that Wang Lan's prototype is Wang Qingzhen, who performed prominently in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and was awarded second-class merit. Along with the honor comes the questioning, the original touching deeds have been accused of fraud, what is going on?
At the beginning of the founding of New China, the Western countries did not take this newborn country seriously, but the victory of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea directly made the world re-examine this china that stood up. Among the many battles to resist US aggression and aid Korea, none of them can better interpret the national spirit of the Chinese than the "Battle of Shangganling."
In the three years of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, every day was an ordeal for every Chinese volunteer soldier who went to fight in The DPRK. The volunteer soldiers without advanced weapons with amazing perseverance and flesh and blood resisted the indiscriminate bombardment of the US army again and again. In 1952, the US military was defeated on the battlefield, and the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea also entered the end.
Unexpectedly, in the early morning of October 14, 1952, the US army suddenly launched an attack on the Shangganling area where our army was located. In order to take down our position, which covers an area of only 3.7 square kilometers, the US military dispatched 250 aircraft and dropped more than 500 bombs to launch a devastating bombing campaign against our army. Among them, the 45th Division of the 15th Army of the Volunteer Army stubbornly resisted the enemy in the Battle of Shangganling, and Wang Qingzhen was a member of the rear medical team.
Seeing that the scale of the attack was getting larger and larger, all sections of the command rushed to hold emergency meetings and deploy related work. At the ideological mobilization meeting, Wang Qingzhen was full of vigor and infected the comrades present. After the meeting, she took the initiative to ask for help, wanting to go to the front medical point in order to take care of more wounded people. Wang Qingzhen, who worked at the medical point of the health team as she wished, saw more and more stretchers, and when she was young, she often had to take care of twenty or thirty wounded at the same time, and she was always very busy.
Under the fierce offensive of the enemy, our army's wartime materials were obviously insufficient, and the reserves of medical supplies were rapidly reduced. Wang Qingzhen and his comrades often braved the rain of bullets and bullets to collect medical supplies on the battlefield and collect first-aid kits from martyrs who died and defeated enemies. There were not enough bandages to bandage the wound, so they tore the enemy's fallen parachute into strips and used it.
Wang Qingzhen had to take care of the seriously injured volunteers every day, and in addition to treating the wounds, she also had to work as a nurse to meet the basic physiological needs of the wounded such as drinking water and eating. In this process, Wang Qingzhen showed a high sense of responsibility and a touching comradeship, which became a good story circulated in the military.
When encountering a warrior with frostbitten feet, Wang Qingzhen first put the soldier's frozen feet into warm water to soak in heat, and then put them into his arms, using his own body temperature to heat the wounded's feet one by one. After the bombing, the wounded were tightly wrapped in bandages all over their bodies, exposing only their noses and mouths to ensure basic breathing, and they lost the ability to chew. In order to ensure the basic food of the wounded, Wang Qingzhen could only chew the food by herself, and then feed it to the wounded person's mouth bite by bite.
These are just the small things that Wang Qingzhen does in her daily work, and there is an incredibly prominent deed, and it is precisely because of this that she won the honorary title after the war and aroused the doubts of others.
It happened one night, Wang Qingzhen went to check the room as usual, and vaguely heard someone moaning. She went up to check, and it turned out that the platoon leader, who had been injured from the front line, was moaning uncomfortably. Seeing the injured person with cold sweat and facial spasms, Wang Qingzhen asked about the injury with concern. Cao Platoon Commander seemed to have a hard time opening his mouth, and Wang Qingzhen reacted that he wanted to disarm. Due to the abdominal injury, Cao Platoon Leader could not solve such a physiological problem on his own, nor did he open his mouth to the female comrades, so he tossed and turned in the middle of the night. Seeing that Wang Qingzhen wanted to help, Cao Platoon Commander initially refused her kindness, but as soon as he exerted his strength, his bladder hurt even more.
In an emergency, Wang Qingzhen directly inserted a urinary catheter for him. Unexpectedly, Captain Cao still did not use the strength to excrete urine on his own. If people do not urinate for a long time, the accumulated urine will cause the bladder to burst, which is more likely to be life-threatening. Seeing Cao Platoon Leader's painful appearance, Wang Qingzhen did not say a word, and directly sucked the catheter with his mouth to help the injured person discharge urine.
At that time, she was a 17-year-old girl who saved one life after another on the brink of life and death. In the face of these soldiers who were wounded in the fight for the motherland, she faded the shyness of the girls and cared for the wounded with a sincere heart. Her noble sentiments were widely spread in the barracks, inspiring countless volunteer soldiers and reaching the ears of Qin Jiwei, the commander of the 45th Division, and until many years later, he always remembered how this 17-year-old girl made the bloody soldiers stand in awe.
After the battle, Wang Qingzhen was awarded the Second Class Meritorious Service for many exemplary rescue deeds, and was also awarded the Second Class Medal of Honor by the DPRK. Flowers and applause are often accompanied by irony and slander. Because of the special nature of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, some people questioned the authenticity of Wang Qingzhen's deeds of helping the wounded urinate with her mouth, believing that this was fabricated for the purpose of playing a propaganda role. Fortunately, there was also military commander Qin Jiwei who testified for her, dispelling false public opinion and people's concerns.
Speaking of Qin Jiwei, he has had an important impact on Wang Qingzhen's life, and it can almost be said that he changed the original trajectory of Wang Qingzhen's life. Wang Qingzhen is a native of Beijing and was born in Wuhan. The father was a railway worker and the mother was a housewife with an older brother above and two younger brothers below. As the only girl in the family, the family loves Wang Qingzhen very much. It is just that in a chaotic world, the family cannot avoid the fate of wandering. After the Japanese occupation of Wuhan, the family moved to Guizhou, where their lives were poor, and most of them relied on their father to work on the railway to make a living.
Guizhou is mountainous, and there are many bandits in the mountains and forests, who not only rob homes and houses, but also sometimes kill innocents indiscriminately, and ordinary people have to hide when they see it. When Wang Qingzhen was fourteen or fifteen years old, she was taken in by bandits because of her outstanding appearance, and claimed to arrest her as a lady of the village. Wang Qingzhen was naturally reluctant, and her parents never agreed to this marriage. It's just that the power of ordinary people is too small to resist these fierce and vicious people. She did not agree, and the bandits came to the house, often making chickens and dogs restless, and disturbing the family.
When he was cornered, the 45th Division of the 15th Army of the People's Liberation Army came. They came to encircle and suppress the remnants of the Kuomintang troops and bandits, bringing hope to Wang Qingzhen's family. Adhering to the purpose of not disturbing the lives of ordinary people, the People's Liberation Army went into the city in the early morning and slept on the side of the road. Their strict discipline and neat army shocked Wang Qingzhen, who was still young at the time. The commander who led this army was Qin Jiwei.
When the propaganda team came to Wang Qingzhen's home, Wang Qingzhen and several of the female soldiers had a good conversation, and she quickly made friends with her, who had a lively and cheerful personality. At that time, she often went to the logistics department to help, and gradually, although she had no relevant theoretical basis, she could also help take care of the wounded and the sick. In the process of practice, Wang Qingzhen became more and more attracted to the People's Liberation Army, and even wanted to join this sacred team.
When the 45th Division's task of suppressing bandits was almost completed, Wang Qingzhen, who had the support of her parents, signed up for the army. It's just that Wang Qingzhen's age is still too young, and the leaders of the troops feel that this does not meet the requirements and do not want to recruit. At the critical moment, Wang Qingzhen's father explained to the leaders of the army that the bandits had taken the robbery before, hoping that the People's Liberation Army could take his daughter away and protect her. After the leaders listened to the ins and outs, they still left Wang Qingzhen behind. Since then, Wang Qingzhen has gone to another legendary life of his own.
Wang Qingzhen, who has just entered the army, has to accept the transformation of identity, she is no longer a house bird protected by her parents, but an eagle that wants to spread her wings and soar. Lively and cheerful, she also shows a tenacious and indomitable side, and there is nothing faster than the battlefield to learn to grow. Seeing her compatriots who had suffered heavy casualties, from imitating others to bandaging others to caring for the wounded alone, she spent only one night. In the preparatory work for the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, the leaders saw that she was a young girl after all and wanted to keep her in China. Wang Qingzhen did not think so, she retorted to the leadership, where the troops go, they will go. She also cut her long hair to the ground, indicating that she was the same as the male soldier. In the end, the leaders agreed to let her go to Fight in North Korea.
There were fighters such as Huang Jiguang who went forward and followed, and hygienists like Wang Qingzhen who saved lives and helped the wounded, and the victory in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea was justified. In the Battle of Shangganling, from October 14, 1952 to November 4, 22 days and nights, the 45th Division fought 29 large-scale battles with the enemy, with outstanding results and heavy casualties. From the flesh and blood, the Western countries have seen the bloodiness of the Chinese nation, and they have also seen that the new China under the leadership of the Communist Party has long turned the page of poverty and weakness, and ushered in the dawn and future belonging to the new China.
Although the battlefield was merciless, Wang Qingzhen reaped her love, and she married Liu Huanjie, a cadre of the division headquarters. After returning to China, Wang Qingzhen engaged in health work in different places until her retirement in 1982. After retirement, she often provides free door-to-door services for patients in need, and volunteers to go to schools, factories and other places to make red reports. As she grew older, she always missed her former comradeship, and many comrades-in-arms often missed her and mentioned her excellent deeds.
When asked about the deeds of sucking urine with her mouth, Wang Qingzhen said that this is what hygienists should do. When the reporter asked about the prototype of "Wang Lan" in the movie, the old man Wang Qingzhen was very modest. She believes that Wang Lan is the epitome of all female field hygienists, and everyone is the prototype of Wang Lan. The bloody battlefield has left many stories to sing and cry, and under the relentless bombardment of artillery fire, there are countless living lives fighting for common goals. We may not be able to empathize with it in times of peace, but we should always be in awe of the multitude of unsung heroes.
Today, the gray-haired old man sits in the middle of a group of elementary school students, smiling brightly, telling the stories of the battles of the last century and missing the loveliest people.
