"I am half-cut, but I am by no means half-cut revolutionary!" When it was learned that the troops had allowed themselves to return to their hometowns and be supported by the state for life, Gu Weili, a first-class disabled soldier, was resolutely opposed, because he was only in his 20s at the time, and although his lower body was paralyzed, he thought that he could still contribute to the revolution.
Gu Weili, a native of Tianjin, like most soldiers at that time, had a revolutionary spirit of hard struggle and advocating selflessness, because he was down-to-earth, industrious and brave, and by 1968, Gu Weili, who was only 25 years old, was already a platoon leader.
In April of that year, Gu Weili's unit received an extremely important national defense construction task, but unfortunately, on the night of April 24, the project that had just started for a few days had an accident, because of the landslide, it had to be suspended.
National defense projects are different from other projects, if the progress is delayed, the consequences are unpredictable, in the early morning of the 25th, Gu Weili took the whole class of fighters and militia, rushed to the construction site, because the situation of the collapse is unknown, he ordered the soldiers to stand by at the mouth of the cave, and he himself took the militia company commander and a squad leader to check the situation.
Not long after entering the cave, someone suddenly found that a dangerous rock at the top of the cave had cracked a large opening, crumbling, and shouted: "Danger! ”。
This shout also alarmed Gu Weili, but when he saw the danger, he didn't even think about it, and pushed the militia company commander under the dangerous rock out of the way, and just at this moment, the dangerous stone fell and buried Gu Weili inside.
Hearing the movement, the warriors immediately rushed in, pulled him out of the rubble pile, and quickly sent Gu Weili, who was unconscious with blood, to be treated.
In the hospital, Gu Weili woke up, but there were 15 injuries in his body, especially his waist, the most serious injuries, so that his lower body was paralyzed.
Although the injury was so serious, Gu Weili's whole mind was still focused on the national defense project, in order to return to the team as soon as possible, he actively cooperated with the treatment of medical staff, and with the help of comrades in the ward, he began various rehabilitation training early.
Gu Weili's positive optimism deeply infected the people around him, and Duan Zhaoyi, a 26-year-old female military doctor, was one of them.
Duan Zhaoyi came from a revolutionary family, was admitted to the "Second Military Medical University" in Shanghai at the age of 20, and in December 1967, at the age of 25, Duan Zhaoyi graduated and was assigned to work in the 213 Hospital of the Brigade Garrison District of the Shenyang Military Region.
In Duan Zhaoyi's heart, the two people he most admired were Bethune, who saved lives and helped the injured, and Lei Feng, who did good deeds without leaving a name.
In the 213 Hospital, Duan Zhaoyi met Gu Weili, who sacrificed himself to save others and was positive and optimistic, although Gu Weili was seriously injured at that time, Duan Zhaoyi had a love for him, and during gu Weili's hospitalization for half a year, they encouraged each other, helped each other, and established a deep revolutionary friendship.
Around 69, Gu Weili was transferred to the 210 Hospital, the two of them were briefly separated, and after the transfer, Gu Weili, after many diagnoses, came to a bad conclusion, because the waist injury was too serious, and the second half of his life was likely to be spent in a wheelchair.
This news made the 25-year-old Gu Weili fall into great grief, and Duan Zhaoyi was also sorry, and after more than half a year of getting along, she knew how much Gu Weili wanted to recover and return to work.
At this time, Duan Zhaoyi, who was already deeply in love with Gu Weili, wrote a long letter to Gu Weili after a fierce ideological struggle, expressing his love, because, in her eyes, Gu Weili was a hero, and she not only hoped that the hero could have a good body, but also hoped that he could have love and family!
For Duan Zhaoyi's decision, the leaders of the army and their relatives at home were very supportive, but there were also many voices of opposition, saying that her "spirit is commendable, but it cannot be learned!" ”。
For the voices that did not understand and did not agree, Duan Zhaoyi did not pay attention to it, because she knew what she was for, and after a year of getting along, the two were happily married.
After marriage, in order to better take care of Gu Weili, Duan Zhaoyi gave up her job in the hospital and followed her husband to Tianjin.
Gu Weili is a soldier, and in order to save his comrades-in-arms, he has become a first-class disabled soldier, and the country will naturally not ignore it, which is why there is the beginning of the article, to provide for life, so that Gu Weili can rest assured of the matter of recuperation.
But the young Gu Weili, but not willing to lie on the merit book to eat and wait for death, he and his wife Duan Zhaoyi, many times to the organization, hope to arrange some work within their ability, for this reason, they specially ran to Shanghai, bought "orthopedic shoes", but also bought crutches and wheelchairs, and under the supervision of Duan Zhaoyi, Gu Weili actively did rehabilitation training every day.
Soon after, Duan Zhaoyi took Gu Weili to the General Hospital of the People's Liberation Army in Beijing for consultation, and after explaining his intentions, the doctors were touched and gave Gu Weili a certificate that he could do sitting mental work, which made the couple happy.
However, a first-degree disability, want to find a suitable job, is not an easy task, after more than 2 years of running, Gu Weili only found a job in the wool mill, although the salary is not high, the social status is not high, but to achieve self-worth Ofu Weili, is extremely happy.
Looking at the smile on her husband's face, Duan Zhaoyi also had a big heart, in order to let her husband work with peace of mind, in addition to commuting to work every day, taking care of her husband, she also took on almost all the household chores in the family.
Later, they had 2 sons and raised them all to become university students, and after getting married, they all had a good life.
After confessing the two children, Gu Weili and Duan Zhaoyi have completed another "mission", at this time Duan Zhaoyi, should have enjoyed a rare old age, but as he grew older, Gu Weili's waist injury became more and more serious, resulting in "stubborn mental pain", anxiety and fear, long-term insomnia, which seriously affected daily life.
In order to alleviate her husband's pain, Duan Zhaoyi had to take her husband out for medical treatment from time to time, but the elderly Gu Weili's body was still getting worse and worse, his bowel movements gradually became unable to take care of himself, repeated infections of the urethra, and repeated chronic ulcers in both lower limbs...
Because the two children are working in the field, the burden of taking care of Gu Weili all falls on Duan Zhaoyi alone, although the elderly Duan Zhaoyi is also a disease, but she is still as always, putting most of her energy on her husband, urinating and urinating, busy before and after, without complaint.
Soon, the time came to 2018, at this time, Gu Weili, Duan Zhaoyi and his wife, are already more than 70 years old, in August of this year, the misfortune fell on the two old people again, their eldest son suddenly "brain congestion" died, only 47 years old.
Old age lost their son, white-haired people send black-haired people, Gu Weili, Duan Zhaoyi and his wife how sad they are in their hearts, it is conceivable that Duan Zhaoyi, who was once a doctor, made a decision that everyone praised in addition to pain, donating useful organs from his son to help those who need it!
At the end of 2018, not long after the death of his son, Gu Weili, who was paralyzed in bed, suddenly suffered a cerebral hemorrhage, fortunately Duan Zhaoyi found it in time, sent to the hospital, and treated it in time, which saved his life.
Although disasters followed, Duan Zhaoyi always maintained an optimistic attitude and was strong in the face of no matter what kind of ups and downs.
In 2021, Duan Zhaoyi's deeds attracted widespread attention from the society and made countless people cry, and it was for this reason that she successively won the title of Tianjin Moral Model and the honor of "The Eighth National Moral Model".
Today's Gu Weili and Duan Zhaoyi have been accompanied by each other for more than 50 years, and they are all nearly 80-year-old people, and sincerely hope that they can spend the rest of their lives in peace and stability in the next few days.
