On the road of the founding of New China, there were countless heroes who made infinite efforts for China's construction cause, and there were many legendary things in them, and in our view now, this has also become a symbol of their glory.
What everyone may not know is that on the road of the Chinese revolution, the Red Army has paid a lot of hardships, but there have also been countless talents who have made great contributions to the liberation of the nation and the construction of the country, and even in the Red Army there have been three medical doctors, and the small editor wants to talk about one of them today.
His name was Pan Shizheng, he was born in 1916 in Ningxiang County, Hunan Province, a poor peasant family, born in the old society to see the oppression, Pan Shizheng hoped to change his fate, and later received a short private school education, because of poverty had to be interrupted.
However, in 1930, Pan Shizheng joined the Red Army and became a Red Army soldier, but his battlefield was not on the front line, but in the rear, as a medical soldier, of course, Pan Shizheng's foundation was very poor, the level of education was not very high, but he was very good at learning, in the Red Army, Pan Shizheng often carried a bag, which was full of books, which were all-encompassing, and some books on medicine.
It's just that because the battle is difficult, the superiors require a quick transfer, and let him throw away all the burdens, but Pan Shizheng would rather throw away the quilt than these books, but there is no way, can only read a page to tear a page, just such a hard learner, Pan Shizheng became a doctor with rough medical skills at the age of only 20.
Because of his good performance, Pan Shizheng was later fortunate to be selected to study with Bethune, a Canadian doctor who aided China. Bethune We all know that the communist fighters who were once extremely determined once gave selfless help during the years of China's War of Resistance, but Bethune was unwilling to accept Pan Shizheng as an apprentice.
It turned out that Bethune was a regular medical university graduate, unwilling to accept Pan Shizheng such a wild road, coupled with his poor foundation, Bethune was not willing to take him in, but the attitude of hard work in his youth made Pan Shizheng plead with Bethune, hoping to stay by his side, even if it was just to be a medical soldier.
The serious attitude touched Bethune, Pan Shizheng was able to stay with Bethune, and since then he has received a formal education, and Bethune saw Pan Shizheng's efforts, and was also touched by his learning attitude, passed on the medical knowledge he had learned all his life to Pan Shizheng, and regarded him as his proud protégé.
