Xu Haidong was injured and unconscious, and a female nurse saved his life and later became his wife
Among the ten generals, Xu Haidong may be the most bitter, born poor from childhood, worked as a kiln worker for 10 years, made countless contributions after joining the Red Army, but also suffered countless injuries, from 1940 onwards, he recovered from illness for a long time, fought against the disease for 30 years, and finally died at the age of 70.
However, although Xu Haidong is bitter, because of his wife Zhou Dongping, he has become the happiest person.
The acquaintance of Xu Haidong and Zhou Dongping is very dramatic.
At that time, Xu Haidong was the deputy commander of the Red 25 Army, and Zhou Dongping was a small nurse in the Red 25 Army, 17 years younger than Xu Haidong. When the Red 25th Army was about to march, zhou Dongping was asked to stay because of his young age. But Zhou Dongping was unwilling, clamoring to go with the troops, and the more he talked, the more sad he became, and finally he cried loudly.
This scene just made Xu Haidong see it. Xu Haidong ruled the army very strictly, and when he saw Zhou Dongping crying and crying, he said angrily, Is there still a bit of a Red Army soldier's appearance? Which Red Army soldier went to the battlefield with a crying nose?
Zhou Dongping wiped away his tears and said, Although I am young, I can run fast, why don't you let me follow! Xu Haidong also felt that this little girl had a hard breath in her, so he agreed to let her go with the troops.
At this time, the two would certainly not have thought that they would become husband and wife later.
In December 1934, Xu Haidong's troops were ambushed by enemy troops in southern Shaanxi, and in the melee, Xu Haidong was shot in the head and fell unconscious on the spot. Fortunately, the doctor rescued in time and stopped the bleeding, but there was blood and phlegm in his throat that could not come out, and the doctor said that if he did not suck it out again, Deputy Commander Xu would be choked to death.
There are many female nurses in the operating room, but they are all little girls, although they know that artificial respiration is the best way, but they can't erase their faces. At this time, Zhou Dongping was anxious, saying what time it was, and what else could not be erased! Therefore, Zhou Dongping pushed the crowd away, used artificial respiration, sucked out the phlegm in Xu Haidong's throat, and kept watch by the side for four days and four nights, before finally letting Xu Haidong wake up.
After Xu Haidong learned of this matter, he said gratefully, without you, I Xu Haidong would be gone, Comrade Shaolan (Zhou Dongping's original name was Zhou Shaolan), you changed your name to Dongping, "Dongping", which is the meaning of my Xu Haidong's protective barrier.
Since then, the two have gotten closer and closer, and in October 1935, they became partners, and the witnesses were Cheng Zihua and Liu Zhidan. That year, Xu Haidong was 35 years old, and Zhou Dongping was only 18 years old.
Xu Haidong's feelings for Zhou Dongping are very deep, in 1938, Xu Haidong studied in Yan'an, the school was a lot of beautiful female college students, someone jokingly asked Xu Haidong: As long as you want, I will introduce you to a most beautiful.
When Xu Haidong heard this, he said very angrily, what a joke! Zhou Dongping is my wife, I want to be loyal to her for the rest of my life, such a thing, kill me and don't do it!
At the end of 1943, Xu Haidong suddenly had a high fever, exhausted all means could not reduce the fever, the doctor secretly said to Zhou Dongping, prepare for the aftermath, I am afraid it will not work.
Zhou Dongping did not believe that her husband had no hope of saving his life, so he asked people around to inquire whether there were any doctors with superb medical skills. I really let her inquire about one, an old gentleman who had been practicing medicine in the mountains for more than 60 years.
Zhou Dongping invited the old man to his home to see Xu Haidong, but the organization did not believe that this old man who did not look good would have the art of reviving the dead, saying what if something happened? Zhou Dongping said that as long as there is a glimmer of hope, you have to try, if Haidong is gone, I will also go with him and continue to take care of him when I get there.
At the insistence of Zhou Dongping, the old man prescribed Xu Haidong several pairs of medicines, but these medicines needed to be collected in the mountains. The situation in the mountains is complicated, who to send? Zhou Dongping said, my husband I came to the rescue, of course I went. After saying that, he put on a basket and went up the mountain with the old gentleman.
After the medicine was collected, Zhou Dongping fried the medicine according to the old man's request, and after Xu Haidong took it, he quickly got better, and even the president of the hospital said it was incredible.
Later, when Xu Haidong went to Dalian to recuperate, Soviet experts found that his lungs had basically broken, and asked in surprise, how did you survive? Xu Haidong pointed at Zhou Dongping and said, Without her, I would have died a long time ago.
In 1955, Xu Haidong was awarded the rank of general, and Zhou Dongping was also awarded the rank of colonel, becoming one of the few female colonels in our army.
In 1970, Xu Haidong died of illness at the age of 70. Zhou Dongping, on the other hand, lived alone for another 27 years and died in 1997 at the age of 80.
It can be imagined that when Zhou Dongping arrives over there, Xu Haidong will definitely go to meet her at the first time!
