The roots buried in the ground make the branches bear fruit, but they are not easy to ask for rewards.
Once in the classroom, the teacher asked what the child's ideal was, and many children always spoke out loud about wanting to become a big hero. The word hero always seems shining and heavy in people's eyes, some of them have been brave and fearless through war, and their heroic deeds may not be discovered for many years, because there are always some heroes who are anonymous in China.
At the end of 1994, Shanghai's "Oriental Time and Space" column reported the story of a retired female worker, she was seriously ill, the family exhausted all their savings in order to treat her, once the story was broadcast, everyone reached out to help, hospital experts also set up a team to try to rescue and treat, people found out after in-depth understanding, this ordinary retired female worker was actually a hero who defended his family and defended the country during the Period of The War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea.
Young people joined the army and served the country
Her name is Xie Xiumei, born in Gaoyang, Hebei Province, she has longed to become a heroine since she was a child, the most admired idol is Liu Hulan, after the end of the War of Resistance Against Japan, Xie Xiumei, who was only 16 years old, joined the Chinese People's Liberation Army, and fought with thousands of other comrades in the cause of liberation.
In 1951, the Korean War broke out, in order to defend the country, Chinese the People's Liberation Army formed a volunteer army to go to the Korean front, crossed the Yalu River, where they spent a very difficult period of fighting, and also emerged many heroic sons and daughters who can sing and cry, in addition to Huang Jiguang and Dong Cunrui, who we know well in middle school textbooks, and Xie Xiumei, the female warrior we talk about today.
When the country was facing a crisis, she resolutely responded to the call of the organization and came to Korea with the large unit of the volunteer army, at first she was just a literary and artistic soldier, according to the recollections of her comrades-in-arms at that time, she looked like a weak little girl who could not help the wind, and she was particularly energetic in doing things, not only to take care of herself, but also not to forget to care for her comrades-in-arms, and to do her best to help other volunteer comrades.
At that time, the country was poor and white, coupled with the icy and snowy environment, the situation in the Korean battlefield was not optimistic, not only was there a shortage of materials, but even few medical personnel, even xie xiumei and other literary and artistic female soldiers went up to work as nurses to bandage wounds, the weather was cold, but the soldiers were patriotic, the heart of the comrades-in-arms was hot, Xie Xiumei took care of the wounded at all times in the field hospital, cheering for everyone.
After the war, she actively rehearsed the program with her comrades-in-arms, warmly encouraged the soldiers, gave them confidence and courage, and rushed through the enemy's blockade line in a harsh environment to complete the tasks assigned by the organization, once, she saw a soldier whose shoes and feet were frozen together, and without a trace of consideration, he put his feet in his arms, and in this way, the soldier's frostbitten feet were saved, and the difficult environment created a hero who was not afraid of difficulties, and they deserved to be called "the loveliest people".
Rushed into the fire and was seriously injured
Xie Xiumei's most heroic one occurred before the US air raid, that day the US plane dropped fire bombs in the direction of the volunteer troops, the platoon leader Li Yonghua did not have time to escape because she was seriously injured and fell into the sea of fire, Xie Xiumei immediately bandaged the wounds for the platoon leader first, and then used her thin body on the back of the platoon leader to evacuate step by step to safety beyond the sea of fire.
At that time, the platoon leader himself almost gave up, surrounded by a sea of fire, the enemy's artillery fire has not stopped, the sound of bomb explosions has come and gone, Li Yonghua let her leave quickly without caring about herself, but she did not listen to the persuasion of the platoon leader, still insist on carrying him away, just when they were about to evacuate the sea of fire, a bomb in front of the ambush suddenly exploded, Xie Xiumei rushed to Li Platoon Leader, protected him with her thin body, they were still lucky, they were not killed, Despite the pain of the bomb, she carried Platoon Leader Lee to the seat belt with the shelter
Afterwards, when someone asked about Xie Xiumei, her memory was already blurred, she only knew that she absolutely had to protect the platoon leader and could not let the platoon leader die, because of this incident, Xie Xiumei won the first class merit, and after returning to China, she was also received by the chairman, on the Korean battlefield, in the ruthless war, this strong girl did not cry, but as soon as she returned to China to see the beloved and kind chairman, her tears could not be stopped at once, holding the chairman and crying, and the chairman slowly relieved her before she calmed her mood.
Xie Xiumei, a soldier who sacrificed her life, was undoubtedly lucky, because there were countless "cute" and brave warriors like her who never came back. Later, she was received by the leader of the Dprk at the time and received the National Flag Medal, which represents the highest honor of the DPRK.
Owes a "huge sum"
After returning from the Korean battlefield, Xie Xiumei's heroic deeds were also adapted into a movie, and people deeply admired the heroine Wang Fang in the movie "Heroes and Children" and took her as an example, but few people knew that this prototype was Xie Xiumei, because at this time she had proposed to the leader to change careers from the army, and she returned to her hometown to become a glorious printing factory female worker.
After returning to Work at Huaxing Printing Factory in Hebei Province. Xie Xiumei silently did her work in the factory, never told her colleagues about her heroic deeds, and even her children did not know that they had such a great mother, until she sought help from the government because of the difficulty of treating her illness.
In the 90s, Xie Xiumei unfortunately suffered from cerebral infarction, medical expenses like a bottomless pit hollowed out the entire family, helplessly Xie Xiumei found the local government to explain her situation, the government attaches great importance to it, the hospital also set up an expert treatment team to provide her with treatment plans, but unfortunately still fell on the heroine's body, 64-year-old Xie Xiumei died in 1996 due to ineffective medical treatment, and finally lived in the Shuangfengshan Revolutionary Cemetery.
This great heroine died in this way, Xie Xiumei's husband said that before she died, she always thought about the old comrades who had fought with her on the battlefield, some of them did not return to their hometown, some were as willing to be ordinary as her, and perhaps not being able to see their old friends again was Xie Xiumei's only regret.
But the people will not forget these heroes, and every hero deserves to be respected, and it is precisely because they guard peace with their lives and defend the land with their blood that we have a better life now. The spirit of bravery and perseverance like Xie Xiumei will not disappear. They will continue to inspire and inspire future teenagers to remember history, to remember the heroes of these countries, and to throw their heads and sprinkle blood to protect the motherland when the country is in danger, just like these heroes before them.
