In 1951, when 16-year-old Yang Yuhua participated in the Korean War, she was unfortunately captured by the US army on the battlefield, she was born very beautiful, she was cruelly tortured by the US army, and two years later she was finally rescued and returned to China. What kind of life did he live? What did she experience in the captive camp?
Since ancient times, there has been a saying on the mainland, that is, women cannot go to the battlefield, but now society has long been useless, women can still go to the battlefield, and in the front line of the mainland war of resistance, there are also those heroic female soldiers.
For example, in the Korean battlefield, this 16-year-old female volunteer soldier Yang Yuhua, on April 22, 1951, Yang Yuhua worked as a nurse in the 180th Division of the 60th Army of the Third Corps.
However, on May 24 of the same year, when retreating to the north of the Han River, it was attacked on both sides by the enemy, a total of more than 10,000 soldiers moved, but only more than 4,000 rushed over, and the remaining more than 7,000 soldiers were either captured or killed, including our heroine Yang Yuhua.
Yang Yuhua was only sixteen years old at that time, although she was still young, she was never afraid of hardship, tiredness, and death, and she experienced countless battles large and small on the battlefield, and she was never afraid.
Yang Yuhua was born in Sichuan and Chongqing, her mother died of illness since she was a child, her grandmother brought her up alone, her life path is obviously different from others, when other girls are safely waiting to marry at home, husband and godson, 16-year-old Yang Yuhua chose to secretly sign up for the army without her grandmother.
During the period of being in the army, thousands of soldiers needed first aid, Yang Yuhua was able to let the soldiers have food in a difficult environment, so he distributed the only food to those wounded soldiers, the soldiers were naturally unwilling, and Yang Yuhua said "You are all on the front line, you must eat more, so that you can take care of your body wounds to recover well." ”
Because she gave all the food to the soldiers, she had to eat some wild vegetables and tree roots, so she came to the surrounding open space to dig wild vegetables, but accidentally ate poisonous vegetables, resulting in vomiting and diarrhea after eating, and it was difficult to walk, so the soldiers had to carry Yang Yuhua in a coma to transfer, but on the way, the artillery fire continued, and the American army frantically dropped bombs as long as they saw our soldiers.
During the march, due to the continuous artillery fire, a large number of wounded and stretcher bearers were killed on the spot, and among the huge team, there were only 5 survivors of more than a dozen wounded and stretcher bearers, including Yang Yuhua.
In order to avoid the pursuit of the enemy, several people had to hide in a railway tunnel, and on the second day, when the American army was sweeping the vicinity, they still found Yang Yuhua and four other wounded hidden in the cave.
At that time, in order to be able to march more conveniently, Yang Yuhua had been wearing men's clothes and her hair was cut very short, so when she was arrested, the US military always thought she was a boy.
Yang Yuhua and several other wounded were put in a cell by the US military, during which time she and other comrades were brutally tortured by each other, and a few months later, when the female doctor accompanying the US military examined her, she discovered that Yang Yuhua was a girl.
There were few female volunteers in the Korean battlefield that year, so the US military naturally did not open a separate cell for her, so Yang Yuhua was thrown into the pile of female prisoners in North Korea to fend for herself.
It is said that hardship sees the truth, and during the capture of Yang Yuhua also met his favorite object, that is, Zhang Zeshi, who was captured with her, Zhang Zeshi is not only a heroic and good soldier, but also knows English, so during the capture of the American army, a lot of troubles were solved.
When the US military sent Yang Yuhua to the female prisoner camp, Zhang Zeshi told her that you should be brave and strong, learn from the Korean comrades well, learn the Korean language, and return to the motherland in the future.
The relationship between the two is very pure, Zhang Zeshi has been doing the work of collecting manure in the later captive camp, during which he has visited Yang Yuhua many times, in such a difficult period, he gave Yang Yuhua the strongest spiritual pillar, continuous encouragement, over time, Yang Yuhua slowly developed feelings for Zhang Zeshi.
But unfortunately, after that, Zhang Zeshi and Yang Yuhua were separated for a long time, because Zhang Zeshi was transferred to other prisoner of war camps, Yang Yuhua expressed his heart, and specially entrusted someone to fold a triangular envelope and hand it to Zhang Zeshi, expressing his recent situation and his recent feelings.
Zhang Zeshi's feelings for Yang Yuhua are only brother to sister, because Zhang Zeshi already has a fiancée in China, so even if he returned to China later, he has always been very concerned and caring for Yang Yuhua.
When she came to the North Korean female prisoner camp, Yang Yuhua saw a lot of suffering female soldiers in North Korea, at first when she introduced herself to the North Korean female soldiers, she was worried that the other party would not understand, but after saying a few words, she found that there were many people in the female prisoner camp who could speak Chinese, and gradually several people began to communicate and exchange for a long time, and found that both sides were very friendly.
In the female prisoner camp, this group of North Korean female soldiers took great care of Yang Yuhua, who was in his physiological period when he was just sent in and was unwell, and this group of North Korean female soldiers would ask Yang Yuhua about his physical condition.
Yang Yuhua, as a Chinese volunteer, did not need to follow this group of North Korean female soldiers on hunger strike, but after a long time, Yang Yuhua discovered the reason why North Korean female soldiers did this and their determination to the revolutionary cause, so he joined the hunger strike.
One day, the US military came to deliver food to Yang Yuhua, and Yang Yuhua directly overturned the food, resolutely stood on the side of the North Korean female soldiers, and was respected by countless people present.
Later, as the war drew to a close, a ceasefire was reached and prisoners of war were exchanged.
After two years, Yang Yuhua was finally sent back to the motherland, and after returning to the motherland, Yang Yuhua was extremely happy in her heart, hugging the national flag in her arms, tears flowed down her face, after many years, she once again stepped on the land of the motherland, and Yang Yuhua's deeds were also widely spread in the mainland.
However, there were also many ill-intentioned people who began to speculate about what happened to Yang Yuhua in the captive camp for no reason, and began to maliciously choreograph, causing serious and bad later effects, and even causing her reputation to be damaged, which was a personal insult to her.
Such a great heroine, who can not give in and not bow her head during captivity, is enough to deserve our respect, so why should we make malicious speculations about her for no reason?
Later, like many freed captives, she was examined in Changtu, and finally her review was over, and Yang Yuhua returned to her hometown in Chongqing.
After coming to her hometown, Yang Yuhua's affairs were also reported and interviewed by local media and newspapers, and she entered a local school, Chongqing Wansheng District Experimental Primary School to engage in education work, before Yang Yuhua dedicated the first half of her life to the revolutionary cause, after returning to China, she decided to dedicate the second half of her life to the education cause of the motherland.
After returning to China, Yang Yuhua married the soldier who was captured together, the other party's name was Liu Yinghu, the two fell in love and were together after returning to China, the two lived together in Chongqing, Liu Yinghu was assigned to work in the local supply and marketing cooperative, he was very handsome, and could talk and dance, so there were always many little girls around him, and a lot of rumors inevitably appeared over time.
But Yang Yunhua didn't care, she felt that her husband would not do something sorry for herself, and after that, Yang Yuhua gave birth to two children for the other party, but under Yang Yuhua's extreme trust in her husband, Liu Yinghu actually cheated on her.
After that, Liu Yinghu was also directly locked up for a period of time because of the problem of life style, which hit Yang Yuhua very hard, causing her to dare not go out for a long time, and other comrades-in-arms who were in the prisoner of war camp together learned of this incident and wrote to her one after another to express their concern, allowing Yang Yuhua to survive the most difficult time.
Since then, Yang Yuhua has been engaged in education until retirement. During this period, some people also expressed their love to her, but she refused one by one, such as a comrade-in-arms named Cao You, who also met Yang Yuhua in the captive camp, Cao You wrote a lot of words of encouragement and help to Yang Yuhua, after returning to China, Cao You also constantly expressed his feelings to Yang Yuhua, but Yang Yuhua always refused.
Cao You was sad and had to find a girl to marry under the arrangement of his parents, and until his old age, he could not forget Yang Yuhua, which can also be reflected in the name of Cao You's daughter.
Because after Cao You gave birth to a daughter with his wife, he directly named his daughter Yuhua, and later said in an interview: "The woman I love most in my life is Yang Yuhua, and a soldier who was captured with her told me that she was killed by American soldiers... But I don't care, I think she's the most beautiful woman in the world, the best comrade. ”
After Yang Yuhua retired, she met a local garrison cadre, both of them have children, at this age, they can still come together, nothing more than wanting to have a companion, so the two soon got married, after retirement, the two will always participate in various activities together because of their similar age, such as climbing mountains with peers to do public welfare activities, singing and traveling, etc., life is very relaxed and happy.
Throughout Yang Yuhua's life, it can be described as ups and downs, when he was young, he ran for the motherland on the front line and made great sacrifices for the revolutionary cause, but after returning to China, he was still subject to unwarranted speculation, and after getting married, he was unfairly treated by her husband, but fortunately he met true love in his later years, and the rest of his life was also complete.
