In July 1984, the 86-year-old Marshal Ye Jianying was in critical condition, and it was rumored that the relevant departments were already preparing for the memorial service.
At the same time, the central government urgently mobilized Professor Zhong Nanshan, who was in Guangzhou, and launched a special plane to bring him to Beijing at the first time, hoping to save Ye Jianying's life.
In July 1984, a hospital in Beijing underwent a thrilling rescue operation, also known as the "Battle of Huaihai" in the history of health care because of its critical condition.
When everyone was helpless, how did Zhong Nanshan snatch Marshal Ye Jianying back from the hands of the God of Death?
Ye Jianying
For the country as home, struggle for life
Born in 1897 in Meixian County, Guangdong Province, Ye Jianying was influenced by revolutionary ideas during his school days and devoted himself to the national revolution after graduation.
During his tenure at the Kuomintang from 1920 to 1927, Ye Jianying participated in several battles. In the 1925 Crusade, Ye Jianying led his troops to fight heroically, captured the Chaomei area, and showed his outstanding military talents for the first time.
In 1924, when he was the chief of staff of the Guangdong Army, he was favored by Mr. Liao Zhongkai because of his own ability, and was invited to participate in the creation of the Whampoa Military Academy and serve as an instructor of the military academy to teach students.
In July 1927, he secretly joined the Communist Party of China, participated in the Nanchang Uprising, and led the Guangzhou Uprising.
Liao Zhongkai
After joining the Communist Party of China, he studied diligently, worked hard to absorb knowledge, and trained a large number of military and political cadres in the anti-encirclement and suppression campaign. During the Long March of the Red Army, it saw through the enemy's conspiracy and protected the Party Central Committee.
After the founding of New China, Ye Jianying carried out land reform in Guangdong Province in accordance with the principles and policies of the CPC Central Committee and achieved complete success.
After Ye Jianying returned to Beijing in 1954, he began to preside over the military training of the whole army. He also led a military delegation to visit the armies of the Soviet Union, Burma and other countries.
By the age of eighty, Ye Jianying's pace became more and more unstable, his legs and feet would shake when he walked, and his physical condition was getting worse and worse.
These physical changes attracted the attention of the guards around them, who began to make an appointment for Ye Jianying to have a doctor for a physical examination.
Ye Jianying
But Ye Jianying was in charge of the Central Military Commission at the time and did not have much time to check his body.
Therefore, the health doctor in charge of Ye Jianying could only take time out of Ye Jianying's rest time to examine his body.
However, the medical conditions at that time were not very good, and Ye Jianying's body was not comprehensively examined, resulting in medical experts still unable to determine what kind of disease Ye Jianying suffered from.
Ye Jianying is very calm, every time when he checks his body, in order to let everyone not have any pressure because of his physical condition, he will laugh and joke with the medical staff to ease the tense atmosphere in the medical room.
In order not to let Ye Jianying's condition continue to worsen, the guards reported Ye Jianying's physical condition to Deng Xiaoping.
Deng Xiaoping
When Deng Xiaoping learned of this, he also went to persuade Ye Jianying to examine him well and take care of his body. He also instructed the Central Health Commission to set up a medical team to take care of Ye Jianying's physical condition and conduct regular examinations for Ye Jianying.
After comprehensive diagnosis and treatment by medical experts, It was confirmed that Ye Jianying suffered from "Parkinson's disease".
This is a neurological disease commonly found in middle-aged and elderly people, and even current medical treatment cannot cure this disease.
And this disease, because the patient is afraid of cold and heat, causes the patient to start a cold and cough and cause lung infection. Therefore, the medical team can only alleviate Ye Jianying's physical pain, delay the spread of the disease, and cannot treat Ye Jianying from the source of the disease.
Ye Jianying
In 1982, Ye Jianying was 85 years old. At the turn of the seasons, Ye Jianying's condition will recur.
Especially the arrival of rainy weather will cause Ye Jianying's body to become hot, and constant coughing will cause lung infection. The onset of a lung infection will cause Ye Jianying to be taken to the hospital for intravenous infusion treatment.
However, the old man's blood vessels are thin and not easy to prick, and the nurse must be very careful when giving Ye Jianying a needle to alleviate Ye Jianying's pain.
But at this time, Ye Jianying's body was already unable to support such frequent intravenous injections. And with the increase in the number of needles, the difficulty of intravenous injection is also increasing.
At this time, Ye Jianying would always comfort those medical workers with leniency, gently telling the other party that this was not their problem, and that people would get sick when they were old, which was not a big deal.
Ye Jianying
Sometimes the nurse who gave him the needle would recite a few poems on his back to ease the other party's nervousness and not let them have too much psychological pressure.
The condition worsened
In February 1983, for the sake of his health, Ye Jianying wrote to the National People's Congress Committee proposing that he would no longer be a candidate for the chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, and that he wanted to maintain his body for the rest of the time.
The Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, taking into account Ye Jianying's physical condition, agreed to his request. He also replied to Ye Jianying's letter, which commended Ye Jianying's great contributions to the party and the people, and highly praised the work he made during his tenure.
But unexpectedly, one day in November, Ye Jianying, who was walking after a meal, suddenly deteriorated in condition and was taken to the hospital by the guards, where he spent more than ten days in the hospital's intensive care unit before recovering.
After the doctor's diagnosis and treatment, Ye Jianying's physical condition was not very optimistic. His lung infections became more severe and he suffered from a myocardial infarction.
Wang Minqing
After the central government learned the news, it specially hired Wang Minqing, then deputy director of the Central Health Commission, to enter the medical team and do its best to treat Ye Jianying.
In order to cure Ye Jianying, the medical experts were very busy, and they surrounded Ye Jianying day and night to care for and treat him.
According to the diagnosis of medical experts, at this time, various organs in Ye Jianying's body had different degrees of lesions, and they all showed a worsening trend.
Such an occurrence is relatively rare. The time thus entered the following July, Ye Jianying's condition still did not improve.
Seeing that the Founding Day was coming, the central government considered Ye Jianying's illness and decided not to carry out relevant celebrations, and made the worst plan.
Zhong Nanshan
By mid-July, after analysis and discussion by the medical team members, the final conclusion was reached. Conservative treatment of Ye Jianying with tracheostomy.
Because the operation was difficult and the task was heavy, it was called the "Battle of Huaihai" in the history of health care.
The authoritative expert of the respiratory system is Zhong Nanshan in Guangzhou Medical College. If he is invited, then Ye Jianying's situation will have a great chance of turning the corner.
Sacrifice life and forget death, practice medicine for the people
Zhong Nanshan was born in 1936 in Nanjing, Jiangsu Province, into a medical family.
Growing up in such a family atmosphere, the young Zhong Nanshan developed a great interest in medicine. He aspired to become a doctor from an early age, and was admitted to the medical department of Beijing Medical College with excellent results when he grew up.
Zhong Nanshan
At zhong nanshan in the university, morality, intellect, physical beauty and all-round development, not only actively organize and participate in extracurricular activities, but also won many awards. Even in one 400-meter hurdles, the national record was broken.
In contrast, Zhong Nanshan's path to practicing medicine was not smooth.
He worked as a teacher to educate students in college, and also engaged in other majors, and later went to radiobiochemistry. In the 11 years from 1960 to 1971, I never worked as a doctor.
When the grassroots went to the countryside to help the people, Zhong Nanshan could not move because of the local medical and health conditions.
This made him realize that the country's medical conditions were backward, and he was not qualified enough to be a good doctor who helped the world.
Zhong Nanshan's father, Zhong Shifan
After returning from the countryside, Zhong Nanshan met his father, whom he had not seen for a long time, and a conversation between father and son made Zhong Nanshan, who was 35 years old, make up his mind to practice medicine.
35 years old was already a successful career for most people at that time, and both children and daughters were complete. But for Zhong Nanshan, his magnificent career has just begun.
In 1971, Zhong Nanshan entered the Fourth People's Hospital of Guangzhou and became a doctor. However, shortly after working, Zhong Nanshan had a misdiagnosis, which mistakenly caused the patient to almost die.
This incident stimulated Zhong Nanshan, and he began to frantically learn and make up relevant knowledge. Not allowing himself to make this mistake again, he followed the medical staff to learn from the most basic, how to treat patients, deal with sudden illnesses of patients, and how to make relevant diagnoses for patients.
Zhong Nanshan
After work, he will stay up late to study the relevant content, and write some of the day's work experience into his notes, forcing himself to memorize this knowledge point repeatedly.
With his own efforts, Zhong Nanshan was finally able to support the girder alone.
Later, under the organization of the old expert Hou Shu, he joined the first chronic bronchitis prevention and control team. After joining the group, Zhong Nanshan recognized the backwardness of the mainland's research on respiratory diseases. The addition of this group made Zhong Nanshan realize that the mainland's research knowledge of respiratory diseases is very backward.
This allowed Zhong Nanshan to find the research goal after practicing medicine, and took the disease of the respiratory system as his main direction of attack.
In the second year of joining this group, Zhong Nanshan won the opportunity to study abroad in the public assignment, and he will go to the United Kingdom for further study.
Life goes on and on and on
Zhong Nanshan
This year, zhong Nanshan was 43 years old, and he boarded a train to Britain, starting another journey in his life.
After arriving in Britain, Zhong Nanshan first faced economic difficulties. The monthly cost of living abroad is only £6, but it costs £12 to cut a hair here.
This did not frustrate Zhong Nanshan, who began to learn to cut his own hair, and sometimes because he did not have a fare, he would run to the hospital to visit and study.
In addition to the economic difficulties, Zhong Nanshan also faced the problem of language barrier in the UK, which led to the fact that Zhong Nanshan did not know how to answer the questions raised by the lecturers.
Zhong Nanshan
But Zhong Nanshan did not give up, and he began to practice his English hard. Through constant conversations with others, we repeatedly correct our own mistakes.
In his family letters, he also wrote in English, and his father would mark the grammatical errors in his letters and send them back to Zhong Nanshan along with the reply.
In this way, Zhong Nanshan's language ability has been continuously improved, and Zhong Nanshan has obtained a lot of scientific research results during his study abroad.
Zhong Nanshan once recalled the scene when he first met Fringe's mentor, who was holding a cup of coffee and was full of disdain for international students from China.
Not only Zhong Nanshan, but also international students from many countries will be treated in this way.
Zhong Nanshan
Zhong Nanshan was not discouraged by this, he found an error in his supervisor's experimental research through an experiment, in order to correct this error, he began to study again and again, and finally obtained the correct results.
The success of this experiment also proved himself to the tutor, and Franklin's attitude towards Zhong Nanshan also became friendly.
With The support of Frory, Zhong Nanshan published 7 academic papers and 6 research results in two years. Flallis advised Zhong Nanshan to stay in England, but Zhong Nanshan refused, and he wanted to go back to repay his motherland.
After returning from studying abroad, Zhong Nanshan returned to Guangzhou and worked as an associate professor in Guangzhou Hospital.
Zhong Nanshan
In the face of danger, he was ordered
The task of saving Marshal Ye Jianying was received a year after returning to China.
After receiving this urgent news, Zhong Nanshan immediately went to Beijing and appeared in Ye Jianying's operating room at 9:30 p.m. that night.
After a check-up by Zhong Nanshan, after consultation with the experts in the medical team, it was decided that the tracheostomy surgery should be performed immediately.
The operation went very smoothly, and after the successful operation, the central leadership received the medical staff involved in the rescue and praised them.
After Ye Jianying's condition stabilized, the medical staff conducted a comprehensive monitoring of Ye Jianying's body and determined that Ye Jianying's physical indicators gradually returned to normal.
Ye Jianying
At this time, the medical staff surrounding Ye Jianying finally breathed a sigh of relief. After Ye Jianying woke up, the illness in his lungs gradually improved, and finally basically disappeared.
This effort allowed Ye Jianying to continue to accompany the fledgling new China for two more years.
By October 1986, Ye Jianying was critically ill again, and this rescue had no effect. He died in Beijing on October 22.
In this life, Ye Jianying made great contributions to the liberation of the Chinese people, and was deeply loved by the party and the people.
Chairman Mao once commented on Ye Jianying
"Zhuge was only cautious all his life, and Lü Duan was not confused about major matters."
Chairman Mao
Zhong Nanshan, who participated in the rescue and treatment of Marshal Ye Jianying, still struggled in the front line of treating the people after this rescue, and made great contributions to the medical cause of the mainland.
Turn the tide against the tide
When SARS broke out in 2002, Professor Zhong Nanshan was 67 years old, but he still led the medical team and struggled to save patients.
Their efforts were not in vain, and through continuous exploration and summing up experience, they finally succeeded in controlling SARS.
After SARS, he was awarded the Special Merit by Guangdong and received the Bethune Medal. After that, his life returned to peace.
By December 2020, COVID-19 was raging, and the contagiousness of the condition had sent the world into a panic. The mood of the people became more and more uneasy, and the tension enveloped the whole country.
Zhong Nanshan
That year's Spring Festival, it was extremely difficult, the people began to hoard a large amount of food, rumors spread, the people in Hubei wanted to flee.
This epidemic is a huge test for us, with the increase in the number of infections and confirmed cases, the virus began to spread in various provinces and cities across the country, but researchers have never found the source of the virus, resulting in a stalemate.
However, Academician Zhong Nanshan did not give up, and Academician Zhong Nanshan, who is already 84 years old, and a large number of medical personnel rushed to the front line of the epidemic, Wuhan, without hesitation.
Through the efforts of the medical team day and night, a patient was finally successfully treated, which made people see a ray of hope.
Zhong Nanshan
With the completion of Vulcan Mountain and Leishenshan Hospital, the number of successful treatments has gradually increased, and finally the epidemic has finally stabilized.
The success of the fight against the epidemic, the credit of Academician Zhong Nanshan and the majority of medical workers is the greatest.
This eighty-year-old man is the "needle of the sea god" in people's hearts in this epidemic, guiding us forward like a lighthouse.
End
There are many heroes in China like Marshal Ye Jianying and Academician Zhong Nanshan, and it is precisely because of them who lead us to charge forward that China can become stronger step by step.
Now is the time for us to take the baton from the hands of the previous generation, use our own strength to support the vast world of the next generation, and strive for our faith and future.
