"People who have made great contributions to the Chinese revolution," Chairman Mao once said of Xu Haidong.
When it comes to Xu Haidong, no one will fail to admire, Chiang Kai-shek once called him "one of the great evils of civilization"; Japanese journalist Hatano Kanichi in his "Yan'an Water Margin", he referred to him as "Shenxing Taibao Daizong"; The American journalist Snow called him the most famous and mysterious figure among the military leaders of the Chinese Communist Party in "Travels to the West". Xu Haidong's courage is well known, he often leads the commando team to charge ahead, relying on the precise control of the terrain and environment, surprise attack the enemy's key points, known as "Xu Tiger" by the people, but such a tiger-like fierce general, there is such a love story.
Xu Haidong
At that time, it was the most tragic battle of the Red 25th Army's Long March, and the Kuomintang 60th Division launched a surprise attack on the Red Army in northern Shaanxi and seized the Dongshan Col, the situation at this time was extremely unfavorable for the Red 25th Army, and the slightest mistake would fall into passivity. Just when the situation was scorching, Xu Haidong personally led the 223rd Regiment to rush into the enemy's army, the enemy was caught off guard by this lifeless force, and after a hard battle, Xu Haidong successfully snatched the Dongshan Pass from the enemy.
With the cooperation of two regiments of our army, the national army was finally repulsed. This battle was very dangerous, the commander of the 25th Army, Cheng Zihua, was shot in the hand and could hardly command, and Xu Haidong was hit under his left eye, the bullet shot out from the back of the neck, and the whole person fell into a coma, bleeding nonstop.
Previously, Xu Haidong had been injured several times, but this was the heaviest one, blood continued to gush from the wound, and the doctor could not do anything, he could only temporarily use medicine to stop the bleeding, but there was still a risk of suffocation at any time. "Let me try it," only to hear a soft shout, and a young female nurse stood up from the crowd. Her name is Zhou Shaolan, and she is a female nurse accompanying the army in the 25th Military Hospital. Immediately, she leaned close to Xu Haidong and did artificial respiration for him without hesitation, and finally sucked out the bruised blood in his throat, and Xu Haidong was out of danger.
Zhou Dongping (Zhou Shaolan)
In the following four days and four nights, Zhou Shaolan has been taking care of the comatose Xu Haidong, not undressed, and inseparable, which pulled him back from the brink of death.
Zhou Shaolan was born in poverty, and when she was ten years old, her family sent her to a family to become a child bride, which was very painful. She suffered at a young age at her fiancé's house, let her do all the dirty work, and her fiancé also beat and scolded her, so she was determined to escape this sea of suffering.
The turning point came in the year when the Red Army arrived in her hometown, and the Red Army's relief of the common people was already a household name, so Zhou Shaolan resolutely chose to join the Red Army. At first, she only sewed quilts for the soldiers in the rear, but after a while, she applied to the organization with enthusiasm to go to the front, and in this way, she quickly became a nurse and joined Xu Haidong's 25th Army.
Xu Haidong and Zhou Dongping
At this time, Xu Haidong was already a well-known general, but hearing that this commander Xu was hot-tempered and hated female soldiers, Zhou Shaolan and the female nurses did not dare to approach him. The two really crossed paths a month later.
On this day, the Red Twenty-fifth Army received an order for the Long March, and the troops, out of protection for the soldiers, wanted to leave some thin female warriors behind, and Zhou Shaolan was among them. At this time, the female soldiers stopped working, and Zhou Shaolan took the lead to find the Political Department, saying that the Red Army was his home, and where should he go without the Red Army, and resolutely did not agree to stay.
Xu Haidong and Zhou Dongping
It happened that Xu Haidong was inspecting the troops, and when he heard the crying, he came over and asked angrily: "Why are you crying here, where are you still like a Red Army soldier." When everyone saw that it was Xu Haidong, they were too frightened to make a sound, and Zhou Shaolan choked and said to Xu Haidong: "Commander, I want to follow the team." Xu Haidong looked at her thin body and asked again: "How old are you?" "Eighteen." Zhou Shaolan stopped crying. Xu Haidong was half-convinced: "Really? Don't talk nonsense. This next week Shaolan can be anxious: "Who said nonsense, I am 18, when I was a child, my family was poor, I couldn't eat enough, I couldn't wear warmth, this is so thin, military commander, what I said is true, you let me follow the troops." ”
Xu Haidong looked the female nurse in front of him up and down, feeling that she was determined and from a poor family, so she agreed to the request of the female soldiers, and the female soldiers were very happy, and their impression of Xu Haidong also changed greatly.
Now, the female soldier who was additionally approved to follow the army actually saved Xu Haidong's life by mistake.
Xu Haidong
On the fifth day of the coma, Xu Haidong finally woke up with difficulty, and seeing Xu Haidong open his eyes, Zhou Shaolan, who was sitting on the side, couldn't help crying. In the following two months, Xu Haidong's injuries were repeated, often falling into a coma, the wounds on his face were swollen, and his life was in danger, and he could only be carried on a stretcher by Red Army soldiers.
Every time he went to a camp, Zhou Shaolan disinfected him with salt water, and took good care of him, and after several months of careful care, Zhou Shaolan had already regarded Xu Haidong as the most important person, and Xu Haidong inevitably fell in love with her. A few months later, Xu Haidong's injuries healed, and when he took another walk, he said to Zhou Shaolan: "Comrade Shaolan, if it weren't for your treatment, I Xu Haidong would have been gone a long time ago, so you would have changed your name to 'Dongping', which means my Xu Haidong's protective barrier." ”
Xu Haidong
Zhou Shaolan suddenly blushed shyly, and lowered his head to be regarded as acquiescence. Xu Haidong was naturally happy, and asked again: "Dongping, during the Long March, you cried with a few female soldiers and wanted to follow the troops, I was very impressed, where are you from, how did you participate in the revolution?" Zhou Dongping sighed and told him about his life.
Zhou Dongping's mother died when she was seven years old, and when she was ten years old, she was sent to a family to be a child bride, and her husband's family beat and scolded herself, until the Red Army came to her hometown, which made her free from the sea of suffering, and since then she has been following the 25th Army and making this her home.
Young Xu Haidong
Xu Haidong was deeply touched, he himself was also from a poor family, only read books for three and a half years, and then lived by burning kilns, in 1925, Xu Haidong joined the Communist Party by chance, led the guerrillas, annihilated many landlord militias, they hated Xu Haidong to the bone, and led people to burn the brick kiln of the Xu family. In 1932, the reactionaries were even more frenzied, and even killed 66 members of the Xu family.
Zhou Dongping cried when he listened, and he had deep sympathy for Xu Haidong. Unexpectedly, at this time, Xu Haidong took Zhou Dongping's hand and showed her his intentions: "Dongping, I really love you, but I always regret that I am a big boss, have a bad temper, and the age difference between you and you is not small, and I am worried that I am not worthy of you." ”
Zhou Dongping shook his head again and again when he heard this, and said: "I am also from a poor family, what I love is your feelings and character, and I don't care about your temper and age." In this way, Xu Haidong and Zhou Dongping became a pair of lovers. However, it was a time of war, and the two could only sneak out on a date at night. So there was a joke.
Xu Haidong and Zhou Dongping
One night, the two came back from a walk, and from time to time there were soldiers passing by on the road, in order not to be seen by others, Xu Haidong surrounded the petite Zhou Dongping in his coat, if he was usually seen by the veterans, he would leave from a long salute, not paying too much attention, who knew that this day happened to meet a recruit, the little soldier was quite afraid of Xu Haidong, seeing Xu Haidong, he only dared to walk with his head down, but he just happened to see four legs under the coat.
The next day, word spread in the barracks that Xu Jun had grown four legs, and the military political commissar Wu Huan first found Xu Haidong and laughed and ridiculed him: "Old Xu, I heard that you have four legs." Xu Haidong looked puzzled: "Nonsense, I'm not a cattle, how can I grow four legs?" Says who? Wu Huanxian laughed and made a gesture of putting his arm around the person, asking him if there was such a thing.
Xu Haidong
Xu Haidong blushed and defended: "What is this, I still want to marry her as a wife." Wu Huanxian reminded: "This is your freedom, but pay attention to the impact." Xu Haidong nodded in agreement.
It is known that in 1935, after the Red Army arrived in northern Shaanxi, Cheng Zihua, Liu Zhidan and other comrades began to marry Xu Haidong. I thought of buying a handkerchief as a token of love, but with only five cents on my body, this idea could only be abandoned, and under the help of the landlord, Zhou Dongping took a handful of red dates to entertain the guests, and thus completed the wedding.
After getting married, the two lived very happily and had a deep relationship, Xu Haidong was often injured, and he has always been taken care of by Zhou Dongping. In 1939, Zhou Dongping accompanied Xu Haidong behind enemy lines in central China.
Xu Haidong
At the end of January 40, Xu Haidong suddenly coughed up blood, and his condition became more and more serious after that. The eagerness to go to the front made him more and more impatient, and even his life was on the verge of death. Zhou Dongping's only job was to take care of Xu Haidong, and under her constant encouragement and persuasion, Xu Haidong miraculously improved.
In 1947, Xu Haidong's condition worsened again, so he had to retreat to the rear, and a pulmonary specialist in the United States was shocked after a comprehensive examination for Xu Haidong, it turned out that most of Xu Haidong's lungs had lost function, and ordinary people could not survive long. He asked Xu Haidong: "What special drug did you use to survive today?" ”
Xu Haidong smiled at the book: "You go and ask my lover, I will eat whatever he asks me to eat." "In fact, Zhou Dongping has any special medicine, all relying on meticulous care and unwavering love for him.
Xu Haidong and his family
Due to the trauma caused by years of conquest, Xu Haidong in the last years of his life has been unable to take care of himself, the disability of his left leg makes him only in a wheelchair, and severe lung disease makes him inseparable from oxygen, Xu Haidong knows that Zhou Dongping is always alone at night secretly crying, but he can't do anything.
Their love is happy, but also difficult, the disease has tormented Xu Haidong for 30 years, Zhou Dongping has also taken good care of him for 30 years, saving him from death again and again, it is love that borrows 30 years of life from God.
On March 25, 1970, Xu Haidong finally left, leaving Zhou Dongping, who had been with each other for 35 years, perhaps until the last moment of his life, he was also grateful for his wife's careful care and for the decision he made at the beginning.
