On the afternoon of October 11, 1988, 19-year-old Wu Huafu, his brother and another fellow villager were cutting rosin in the mountains of Shuangzhen Township, Guixi County, Jiangxi Province. The mountains are so long that it is difficult to get in and out. In order to facilitate daily life, they built a simple grass hut in this mountain, and now they return to the grass hut as usual to rest temporarily.
I didn't expect to go back and see a parachute hanging from the tree next to the grass shed, and under the tree lay a man covered in blood. Saving people matters! Wu Huafu and the three men immediately took a knife and cut the rope wrapped around the man and carried him to the bed in the grass shed. One person set up firewood to boil water, and one person washed the wound and disinfected it with salt water.
All three were uneducated farmers, lacking professional medical knowledge, and after realizing that the man might have multiple fractures, they could only brew the only malt milk in the grass shed and feed him one bite at a time, trying to hang his life.
The man in the coma finally woke up. He told Wu Huafu and the three, "My name is He Maosheng, and I am an air force pilot. It turned out that when He Maosheng was flying a high-speed fighter plane to the northeast of Gan, he had a sudden accident and was ejected from the cabin without warning, at that time, because of the angle problem, he had already suffered a violent impact, and later fell into the mountain forest because of the parachute opening failure! Fortunately, his flight altitude was relatively low, otherwise he really would not have died.
He Maosheng thanked Wu Huafu for saving him, and Wu Huafu also realized that the man in front of him was a pilot trained by the state, and immediately told the two compatriots to take good care of He Maosheng. Wu Huafu walked 20 kilometers overnight, and he had to go out of the mountain to report the news to the local township government.
As early as 9:00 a.m., after the plane and the air force unit disappeared, the local government department received a briefing on the dangerous situation of the air force unit, and the municipal and county governments immediately sent commissioners to organize personnel to go to the local area to carry out search and rescue operations. The news brought by Wu Huafu greatly encouraged them.
At night, the mountain road is difficult to walk, and professional rescue vehicles cannot pass at all, but the local government and people are not afraid of difficulties. Under the guidance of Wu Huafu, government workers, medical personnel and local people went deep into the mountains with emergency medical equipment and carried He Maosheng out step by step with a stretcher!
When He Maosheng took out the only money he had to thank Wu Huafu, he was rejected. Chen Hanzhong, who followed the whole process as a press officer of a certain air force department at the time, will never forget what Wu Huafu said that night, "We went up the mountain to make money, but not to live for money." "Extremely simple words are like the kind and sincere folk customs here, which make people feel nostalgic.
Chen Hanzhong and Wu Huafu agreed that when He Maosheng recovered and went to heaven again, he would invite them to visit the Air Force. Soon after, the Wu Huafu brothers returned to their hometown in Lishui, Zhejiang, and the two sides completely broke off contact. Therefore, when He Maosheng successfully flew again with a strong will, the Air Force invited local rescuers to visit, but the position of Wu Huafu's three people who should have arrived was empty. He Maosheng, who had not been able to see his benefactor that day, burst into tears.
It's not over. Chen Hanzhong, who retired at home in 2014, remembered this past when he sorted out the past news reports. Excited, he published a public report on the search in the media, and successfully found wu Huafu's news two months later. Unexpectedly, in October a year later, Wu Huafu was diagnosed with giant liver cancer. After the Air Force unit learned of this news, it immediately coordinated with Wu Huafu at the Beijing Air Force General Hospital and arranged for special personnel to treat him.
With the help of the army and the hospital, Wu Huafu underwent surgery and went home to recuperate, but due to the deterioration of his condition, he still passed away during the Spring Festival in 2016, and before he died, he still asked his wife and daughter to remember the kindness of the air force.
