An introduction:
The memory of history is always full of perseverance and perseverance, and the extraordinary story of an ordinary woman also shines in it. Today, we will go back in time to the last century and explore a woman named Ding Youjun, whose tenacity and faith, like a diamond in tribulation, shone with a strong light in troubled times. It's an untold story about her and a profound look back at that particular moment.
On a quiet autumn day in 1931, when the world was shaking, a family of salt merchants in Leshan City, Sichuan Province, gave birth to a special girl, her name was Ding Youjun. Despite being born into a wealthy family, Ding Youjun showed unusual care and concern from an early age. She was not blinded by material affluence, but cared for those who suffered and felt deep concern for the plight of her motherland.
In 1947, at the age of 16, Ding Youjun left his hometown and embarked on the road to Chengdu to study. During her studies at Chengdu Municipal Girls' High School, she actively participated in the revolutionary struggle led by the Party organization. Despite her family's abundance, she has always lived frugally, sharing hardships and supporting each other with classmates from poor families.
Ding Youjun's kindness and strength were more reflected in her youth. A war and natural disaster closed the school, and many students fell into the dilemma of food and housing, but Ding Youjun did not hesitate to provide them with food and shelter. She also invited some homeless classmates to live in her home. These acts of kindness earned her the respect and praise of her classmates.
In 1950, after the liberation of Chengdu, Ding Youjun followed his brother's suggestion and was admitted to the Xikang People's Cadre School. After six months of training, she joined the "Komsomol League" as an outstanding cadet and contributed to the construction of the republic. After graduation, she served as a military representative at a girls' school, and her work was excellent, so she organized and arranged for her to go to various villages in Xichang to publicize and collect food for the PLA troops.
However, fate often casts a shadow in the most inadvertent moments. On September 17, 1950, due to work needs, Ding Youjun temporarily lived in the house of Wang Yuhui, the mayor of Yulong Town, Yanzhong District. But she didn't expect that Wang Yuhui turned out to be a hidden spy, and joined forces with other bandit leaders Zhao Ming'an, Wang Guoxian, and Gao Kaixiang to launch a terrible rebellion. They snatched the weapons from the township office and captured Ding Youjun, who lived in Wang Yuhui's house.
At first, the bandits tried to trick Ding Youjun into revealing party secrets with food and banquets, but she insisted on not saying anything. She even advised the bandits, who were originally peasants, to lay down their arms because the party's policy would be lenient. However, the bandits' anger led to a night of atrocities, and Ding Youjun suffered great torture and humiliation.
The next day, the bandits still did not give up, stripping Ding Youjun naked and openly marching through the streets, threatening local residents not to support the Communist Party or suffer the same fate as the female PLA cadre. However, even in such a desperate situation, Ding Youjun still stood up and shouted loudly, setting an example for the villagers: "Fellow villagers, don't feel sorry for me, this is a shame for the bandits!" Someone will definitely avenge me! "The bandits' humiliating parade did not bring her to her knees, she still showed strength and determination.
However, this ordeal did not end there. On September 19, bandits besieged the Hexi District Office, forcing Ding Youjun at gunpoint to make persuasive remarks. At this time, she was already fearless of life and death, shouting morale-boosting words: "Comrades-in-arms, you must persevere to the end!" Finally destroy the bandits and avenge me! These firm words boosted the morale of the defenders and made the bandits uneasy. Bandits must not
All he wanted was to shoot Ding Youjun to death.
After the rebellion in Yanzhong District was quelled, people sent people to search for Ding Youjun's body, but found nothing. A few days later, however, a villager found a skull with a few strands of long hair left on it. The discovery of this skull alerted people, and they began to identify it. Finally, after confirmation by Ding Youjun's friends and comrades, the skull was confirmed to be Ding Youjun's remains.
However, what is even more distressing is that Ding Youjun's body was eaten by wild wolves. She was like a flower, humiliated by bandits, and eventually became the mouth of the beast. This tragic ending makes people feel heartache and anger for this resilient woman.
Ding Youjun's experience provoked great indignation among the PLA soldiers. None of the bandits who participated in her persecution escaped justice. Zhao Shihua, the murderer who shot Ding Youjun, was quickly arrested and executed, and other bandits were killed by the People's Liberation Army within two years. As for the recalcitrant accomplices, they also did not end well, they were sentenced and sent to labor camps, unable to turn over for the rest of their lives.
After hearing about Ding Youjun's deeds, Commander-in-Chief Zhu De personally inscribed for her: "Comrade Ding Youjun is a good daughter of the party and the people, and a good example for young people..." This inscription is the best affirmation of Ding Youjun's adherence to his faith and heroic fearlessness.
Although Ding Youjun's life is short, her tenacity and courage will always inspire us. Her story tells us that no matter how difficult it is, if you stick to your faith, you can overcome everything. She was the hero of her time and one we always deserved
