In the old society of all evils, women had no status, obeyed their parents at home, married by their husbands, and if they were unfortunate enough to marry a bad man, then this life would be over.
Wei Rong, a native of Silin County (now Tiandong County), Guangxi Province, who was born in 1907, is such a bitter woman. She originally had a clear eyebrow, innocent and lively, with the reputation of "Si Lin a flower", and could have chosen a Ruyi Langjun, but at the age of 17, she married a government clerk Ya Zhong under the arrangement of her parents. Ya Zhong smoked, drank and gambled, was full of vices, had a short temper, and often punched and kicked Wei Rong. Wei Rong wanted to resist, but she couldn't find the strength to resist, and her parents couldn't help her, she could only shed tears in her heart.
Portrait of Wei Rong
In the winter of 1926, the peasant movement in Silin County flourished and a peasant association was established. One day, the association was preaching revolutionary principles on the street, and Wei Rong stood by for a long time and listened for a long time, deeply shocked. Seeing many young and middle-aged people join the association, she did not hesitate to sign up, determined to change her destiny.
With the support of the farmers' association, she slapped a divorce document in front of her husband Yazhong and was freed from the sea of suffering. In 1927, the Silin County Minzhi Street Farmers Association was established, and Wei Rong was elected as the chairman, after which she developed the masses, supported the guerrillas, and did a lot of work.
In December 1929, the Baise Uprising broke out and the Seventh Army of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army was established, and Wei Rong was transferred to the Political Department of the Seventh Red Army as a propagandist. In 1930, the Red Seventh Army went north to the Central Soviet Region, and his parents initially did not allow Wei Rong to leave home with the army, but later Wei Rong patiently persuaded the second elder and was arranged to work as a nurse in the military medical department.
On the arduous journey to the battlefield, Wei Rong was both a hygienist and a propagandist, singing mountain songs on the side of the road to encourage her comrades to move forward, and risking her life to rescue the wounded in the rain of bullets and bullets. Once, a wounded person could not drain pus and blood, and she sucked out the pus and blood one by one, which made the wounded very moved.
In July 1931, the Red Seventh Army finally reached the Central Soviet Zone after enduring hardships and obstacles. Because of the experience of looking at the wounded and sick in her passport, Wei Rong was recommended by the organization to enter the Red Army Military Medical School to study, and successfully passed the admissions examination, becoming the only female student among the 19 students in the first phase of the Red Army Military Medical School.
Wei Rong did not attend a day's regular school, but only attended classes in the cultural night school of the Agricultural Cooperative, plus she was usually diligent and studious, and she knew some simple words. With this bit of "ink", she obviously couldn't cope with the obscure medical knowledge, and as soon as she looked through those medical books, she wanted to doze off. The stubborn Wei Rong could not allow herself to be defeated by the "sleepy worm", and she looked around for a "cure" for drowsiness.
One day, a classmate said that he had an ancestral secret recipe to cure drowsiness, and Wei Rong was ecstatic and told him to quickly dispense medicine. The classmate brought a bullet casing and said that when you are sleepy, just open it and smell it. Wei Rong couldn't wait to take the bullet case and open it to smell it, but she didn't expect that the bullet case contained pepper, and she was choked to tears and sneezing continuously. The students laughed back and forth, but Wei Rong was not angry, but felt that this method really worked. Since then, her classmates have often heard her sneezing.
But half a month later, this method failed, and during the evening self-study, before she could open the shell and smell it, she fell asleep on the table. In the pathology class test, Wei Rong was the first to last, and she was sad and sad that she threw the bullet casing on the ground and cried. Her classmates didn't know how to comfort her.
That night, Wei Rong came to the classroom early, she did not sit in her seat, but somehow moved a stool and sat in the last row, nibbling on the pot while looking at the notes. Later, at night, everyone went back to rest after closing their textbooks, and suddenly heard a "bang" sound, and it turned out that Wei Rong had fallen. A large bag bulged up on her forehead and there was blood. However, to the puzzlement of the students, Wei Rong did not have a painful expression, but instead laughed and said, "Haha, my sleeping stool has succeeded." "When everyone looked at the stool, it turned out that there were only three feet.
With this fierce strength, Wei Rong finally graduated with excellent results and became the first female military doctor trained by the Communist Party of China. She was divided into the Third Army, and while she humbly learned from the old doctor, she applied what she learned from books to clinical practice. In the battlefield rescue, Wei Rong's hemostasis and bandaging operations were crisp and sharp. She also gave full play to her strengths and used the gap between ambulances to sing for the wounded and sick, which was deeply loved by the injured and sick.
In October 1934, the Red Army began the Long March, and Wei Rong was left behind to take care of the wounded and sick of the Red Army who could not leave. The Red Army hospital was transferred to Jingangjiao, a small village on the border between Ruijin and Yudu, and after staying in the village for several months, it was surrounded by the Kuomintang Qingxiang regiment that learned of the news. In the process of assisting the wounded to break through, Wei Rong did not evacuate in time, was caught by the Qingxiang regiment, and was brutally killed at the age of 27.
After liberation, Wei Rong was posthumously recognized as a revolutionary martyr. Her name will remain in history forever!
