Hero Wang Qingzhen
In 1950, Wang Qingzhen enlisted in the army;
In 1951, at the age of 15, Wang Qingzhen came to the Korean battlefield with the Chinese People's Volunteers. Because she was too young at that time, the leaders wanted her to stay in the rear, but Wang Qingzhen resolutely cut her hair short, asked to go to the front line, and participated in the Battle of Shangganling.
In the Battle of Shangganling, Wang Qingzhen joined other health workers in the field rescue work. In the cold tunnel, in the damp cat cave, Wang Qingzhen not only meticulously cleaned and bandaged the wounds of the wounded, chewed food for the wounded who could not eat, and then sent it into the mouths of the wounded one by one, but also used the mouth to suck the urinary catheter and the mouth to suck pus to help the wounded soldiers relieve the pain.
Huang Jiguang
In the Battle of Shangganling, the superhero Huang Jiguang died bravely. Wang Qingzhen and several female comrades were responsible for sorting out Huang Jiguang's body. According to Wang Qingzhen's recollection, at that time, the body of martyr Huang Jiguang was holding his arms high, maintaining the posture of grabbing the enemy's pillbox when he sacrificed, and the gun pierced the spine, leaving a bullet hole the size of a bowl in his chest. Wang Qingzhen and his comrades-in-arms covered their arms with hot water to smoothly flatten the arms of martyr Huang Jiguang and put them into brand-new military uniforms.
In 1956, the release of the movie "Shangganling" attracted widespread attention and discussion, Wang Qingzhen learned that he was the prototype of "Wang Lan" in the movie "Shangganling", and said: "In the real war, there are more female hygienists like me, they all do a good job, they are all the prototypes of Wang Lan, I just did what I should do." ”
Wang Qingzhen is a doctor in the army and has superb acupuncture skills. After retiring, she often volunteered to treat the sick and help others as much as she could!
