When I was a student, I believe that everyone had heard the story of "Mulan serving in the army for her father", in order to alleviate the pressure of the family and her father, Mulan women dressed as men to establish meritorious deeds in the army, and became a good story for the country and the main fight against the enemy army.
However, although the story of Mulan is wonderful, it is too far away from our time after all. More than half a century ago, there was really a heroic fighter who dressed as a man to participate in the revolution, she was Guo Junqing, and perhaps few people had heard of her, but her deeds were particularly eye-catching in the revolutionary war years, not only because of her dress and appearance, but more touchingly, the spirit exuded behind her was simply similar to mulan a thousand years ago.
Guo Junqing, born in a poor family in the northeast region in the early 1930s, since the beginning of his birth, the young Guo Junqing has witnessed the tragic scene of the Japanese trampling on the northeast of his hometown, and the Japanese Kou have carried out a terrible massacre and plunder of the newly occupied northeast region.
In order to prepare resources and wealth for further invasion, the Japanese confiscated the land and family property of the people of the northeast, and Guo Junqing's family was no exception.
Forced to be helpless, Guo Junqing can only follow his family to leave his hometown to inner Mongolia to make a living, in order to earn travel expenses on the way, Guo Junqing's father can only work for the local rich man for a short time.
We know that in the old social period, the arbitrariness and unreasonableness of the landlord class was notorious at that time, and the unreasonable landlord beat and scolded Guo Junqing's father, who was not in good health, and where he endured such double torture of spirit and flesh, he was beaten into serious injuries and died soon after.
The sudden death of his father has brought immeasurable losses to the family, and after losing the top pillar of the family, where should Guo Junqing and his mother go?
The cruelty of the Japanese Kou and the arbitrariness of the landlord, the former forcing Guo Junqing's family to drift away from home, and the latter directly leading to the death of his father, all of this deeply stung the heart of the young Guo Junqing, who secretly swore that when she grew up, she would become a soldier to avenge her father and contribute to the family and the country.
But what can she do as a female streamer? At that time, it was difficult for a woman to enter the army, let alone a girl from a poor family like Guo Junqing, who had neither a background nor status.
However, God was not always ruthless, until 1945, when what Guo Junqing expected took a turn for the better.
That year, the war in Europe was declared over, and Hitler and his Nazi Reich collapsed under the two sides of the Allied forces on the Western Front and the Soviet Army on the Eastern Front. Immediately after, Stalin declared war on Japan, millions of Soviet Red Army launched a fierce offensive in the Far East and northeast China, the Kwantung Army was defeated, and finally, in August of the same year, Japan announced its unconditional surrender.
At that time, Guo Junqing and his family were in Linxi County, a small county town that was marching to celebrate the end of the war like the rest of China, and when the Soviet army appeared in the county, many people rushed to see the true face of the Soviet army, and Guo Junqing was one of them.
This time, without looking at it, Guo Junqing was shocked to find that there were female soldiers in the Soviet Army! The news surprised and delighted her. In addition to rejoicing, Guo Junqing also calmed down and began to slowly consider his way out, since there were female soldiers in the Soviet army, then why hadn't female soldiers in the Chinese army ever seen it? If the state does not allow women to join the army, can I join as a woman dressed as a man?
Right! That's it! Guo Junqing thought so in his heart.
At this moment, Guo Junqing seemed to be so happy as if he had discovered the "New World", and since he had already made up his mind, he must put it into action as soon as possible. However, once this idea is known to the family, it is bound to be opposed. Therefore, Guo Junqing had a plan, secretly cut off his long hair, bought a few men's clothes from the shop outside, and finally signed up to join the army in the name of his younger brother Guo Fu.
At the recruitment office, in the face of the recruitment staff's inquiries, Guo Junqing answered like a stream, completely making people unable to see her true identity and gender, in this way, the clever and clever Guo Junqing officially became a glorious SOLDIER of the People's Liberation Army.
In the army, at first, Guo Junqing still seemed extremely uncomfortable, because the army was after all a man's world, and where would anyone think that a woman would be mixed in among them. In the face of high-intensity daily training and practice, the physical differences between men and women are quickly revealed.
However, Guo Junqing is very able to endure hardships, in order to cope with high-intensity training, she has worked ten times or more than men, on the one hand, a strong sense of revenge supports her; on the other hand, she secretly ran out of the house and chose the army, and now, no matter what she says, she has to overcome difficulties.
This girl with a strong nature, stunned, cleverly hid herself in the pile of men, and insisted on a military career of up to 5 years of dressing and sleeping, during which no one had the slightest doubt about her.
However, it is still easy to expose after a long time, when the comrades around them go into the water to play in the summer, Guo Junqing always stays on the shore without a word, even if it is the physiological period, the physical discomfort can only be endured, a little careless, she may be found by the superior leaders and the comrades who get along day and night...
Over time, Guo Junqing's training results were unanimously recognized by everyone, and soon Guo Junqing's unit received the first combat task: to eliminate a large group of bandits entrenched near the Keshketeng Banner.
Everyone is rubbing their fists to test the training results of more than a year, and Guo Junqing, who is stubborn and hardworking, is naturally no exception. As a cavalry correspondent, speed and mobility are the key, in order to complete the task, the superior leader has formulated a careful plan, the troops will be surrounded from two directions to divide and annihilate this enemy, Guo Junqing received the order: with the fastest speed, the battle plan is notified to the friendly troops 30 miles away.
Perhaps for ordinary people, this task of delivering letters does not seem to be difficult, but it should be known that the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and once the enemy detects the attempt of our army, it is bound to take good action in advance. Therefore, Guo Junqing's task seems simple, if it is really difficult to complete, as a cavalry correspondent, she needs to get in touch with friendly and neighboring troops as soon as possible before the enemy discovers our army's attempt.
In order to complete the task, Guo Junqing set off at the first time, it was winter, the temperature on the inner Mongolian steppe plummeted, Guo Junqing and her military horses braved the severe cold for an all-night gallop, and successfully handed over the combat instructions to the friendly troops, in the end, the gang of bandits was completely annihilated under the two-way offensive of the People's Liberation Army, during which Guo Junqing's military horses were also tired, but she completed the task on time.
Soon after, Guo Junqing was given her second mission: to find a way to rescue another group of troops trapped by bandits by the river. Without further ado, Guo Junqing set off at once, her short body, braving the bone-chilling ice water to carry one wounded person after another to a safe area on the other side.
After this mission, Guo Junqing also fell ill, and the tension brought about by years of high-intensity training and combat also made her completely lose her fertility as a woman. Fortunately, blessings and misfortunes depended on each other, although the physical wounds could not be healed, but Guo Junqing's performance won the trust of comrades and leaders, and later, she joined the party and also participated in the "Liaoshen Campaign".
After the Liaoshen Campaign, Guo Junqing followed the troops to participate in the battle in the Rexi region, facing an enemy five times larger than himself, Guo Junqing was not timid, and the enemy struggled bitterly, and in the end, even a hand-to-hand combat broke out with the enemy army.
After the battle of Rexi, Guo Junqing's old illness recurred and was sent to the hospital for treatment. During the medical treatment, at the request of female doctors and nurses, the secret of this deeply hidden hot-blooded soldier king was finally made public.
At that time, when the medical staff asked her to take off her clothes and cooperate with the comprehensive physical examination, Guo Junqing refused to die, and then, with the cooperation of everyone, he told them: "
Actually, I'm a woman.
”
The sudden appearance of a female soldier dressed as a man in the hospital immediately caused a sensation, especially in her previous unit, and no one had discovered Guo Junqing's secret.
I once listened to the older generation tell the story of Hua Mulan serving in the army for her father during the Southern and Northern Dynasties of China, but I did not expect that there was now a "Mulan" who was actually among them. In 1950, when Guo Junqing returned from his hospital injuries, Guo Junqing was commended by the Fourth Field Army as a "combat hero" and was also elected to participate in the National Battle Heroes Conference. At the same time as being received by the leaders of the Party Central Committee, she also became the only heroine in the history of our army to receive special battle merits.
What is more worth mentioning is that Chairman Mao also heard about Guo Junqing's glorious deeds and specially met with this Communist Party "Mulan."
After liberation, Guo Junqing returned to a peaceful life, with the heroic performance of the war years, she also held an important position in the local area, the difficulties in work never crushed her, and never thought of using her position to make private profits for herself, so she spent her life with poverty, because she did not care about personal gains and losses.
For Guo Junqing, being able to live quietly in the land for which she has struggled for most of her life is already the best gift from the party and the people of the party and the country to her.
In 1983, Guo Junqing died peacefully at the age of 52, and when people found out in her home that her entire savings were only 80 yuan, everyone was silently in tears.
Later, "Youth in the Fire" was released nationwide, and the protagonist of this movie was Guo Junqing.
As a contemporary "Mulan" Guo Junqing, her story has spread all over the country, north and south, all over the world, and the people of the whole country have known this female warrior, but they are all impressed by her heroic combat deeds and tenacious spirit. Although people have never really seen the real Mulan in history, they are fortunate to be able to find the shadow of Mulan in Guo Junqing's body.
