There is no time to be quiet, but someone is carrying the weight for us.
More than 40 surgeries, more than 6,000 skin grafts, more than 800 days of hospitalization, more than 85% of the burned area of the whole body, 60% of the third-degree burns, the sweat glands of the whole body were burned, the blood vessels and bones were directly exposed, and one after another critical illness notices were issued......
Robbed, jumped, ran, and thrown, saving 27 lives, but he was burned to the ground, looking at the appearance of people in the mirror, saying that he was the most terrifying "monster" he had ever seen.
In 1995, the story of the "firefighter brother" spread all over the world, he saved the lives of 27 passengers on the bus regardless of his own life, causing himself to be in pain and wanted to give up for a while.
"Even if you become a cripple, the military district will support you for the rest of your life. ”
"It was the hardest time for him and I couldn't leave him. ”
Fortunately, the encouragement and persistence of those around him allowed him to survive the painful and difficult days, what happened that day to cause so much damage to a 20-year-old warrior?
The content described in this article is based on official and reliable sources, which are repeated at the end of this article
Twenty-seven people were rescued at the risk of their lives
If that terrible scene happened again, he would still choose to do it.
March 21, 1995, was the day when Liang Qiang went home to visit his relatives, which was originally a happy and expected good thing, but because of an accident, it became the most painful memory in his life.
On this day, he packed his luggage early, got on the bus home, and was looking forward to meeting his family and girlfriend with joy, and an accident that changed his life occurred when he was 40 kilometers away from home.
The car turned off when it was halfway there, and after checking that there was no natural gas, the driver had no choice but to reassure the passengers, and then asked the conductor to buy gasoline.
As a fighter, Liang Qiang immediately understood what the driver meant, so he stopped him and said, "It's too dangerous for you to operate like this." ”
The driver thought that he had been driving the car for so many years, and his understanding of the car was better than that of this hairy boy, so he ignored Liang Qiang's reminder and insisted on opening the hood for DC fuel supply.
At the moment when the car started, the backfire of the carburetor suddenly burst into flames, and the frightened conductor subconsciously wanted to throw away the oil bag in his hand, and the passengers were also frightened and panicked, not knowing what to do?
Liang Qiang has been watching the driver's operation, and when the fire caught fire, he predicted the operation of the conductor, so he immediately grabbed the burning oil bag, quickly ran to the parking space, kicked the window with his foot, and threw the oil bag out.
At this time, Liang Qiang's body was already on fire, and he was worried about affecting the passengers in the car, so he quickly jumped out of the window and rolled on the ground, trying to extinguish the fire on his body.
The passengers who reacted from the shock jumped down in a hurry to help Liang Qiang extinguish the fire on his body, but Liang Qiang, who had been struggling for a while, was already lying motionless on the ground with his dying breath.
By the time the ambulance arrived, Liang Qiang's vital signs were very weak, and when he first arrived at the hospital, six critical illness notices had been issued during the rescue process.
At this time, Liang Qiang's parents and girlfriend made a table of his favorite dishes at home, and waited for his return with joy.
At night, a phone call broke the peace of the family, it was a call from the army, after listening to the call, Liang's mother fainted directly, and her mood changed from great joy to great sorrow, why is a good person dying?
They rushed to the hospital where their son was overnight, looking at their son lying on the hospital bed covered in gauze, the sky of the old couple was about to fall, but fortunately, Liang Qiang's childhood sweetheart's girlfriend was taking care of him.
Parents' love for their children is selfless, but it is also selfish, and if they have a choice, they would rather their children be ordinary and healthy than see the current situation.
Painful treatment phase
"I could even hear the doctor crushing my dead bones with pliers and smashing steel nails into my fingers. ”
This operation was the most impressive to him, because the severe pain made him almost faint, and after 9 major clean-up surgeries under general anesthesia, he was given half anesthesia considering the dangers of general anesthesia.
The doctor cut off the last good piece of skin from his chest and transplanted it into his finger, and there was barely a piece of good flesh left on his body, all of which was unrecognizable.
Facing rumors from the outside world: Liang Qiang is not afraid of pain, he is very strong, and he didn't scream during the whole process.
He responded frankly, it's not that I'm not afraid of pain, it's just that it hurts so much that I'm about to faint and don't have the strength to scream.
Liang Qiang's treatment in the hospital was very painful every day, severe burns caused his body ligaments, bones and joints to varying degrees of necrosis, in order to save his limbs, 9 times of removal surgery.
Childhood sweetheart's girlfriend has always been by his side.,In order not to affect her boyfriend's recovery and treatment,Never show sadness in front of him.,Always hide in the corridor alone and cry.,Wash your face after crying and then go in.。
Liang Qiang was barely able to eat after a period of treatment, and he wanted to see what he looked like, but was rejected by his girlfriend and nurse, and he realized that he might be disfigured.
At this time, Liang Qiang didn't realize that his face had been burned to the point that he couldn't recognize it, and he joked with his girlfriend: "Anyway, I'm not good-looking, disfigurement is plastic surgery for me, have I become handsome?"
The girlfriend held back the tears in the corners of her eyes and responded: "You have become handsome, in my heart, you are handsome in everything." ”
Liang Qiang's optimism was shattered by the reflection on the window when he was walking in the corridor once, and he looked at himself and couldn't even believe it, calling himself a "monster" that was more terrible than a horror movie.
Like five thunderbolts, the bones are craggy, the burns and ulcers on the face are not visible at all, the body is red and white, there is no intact skin, and the head is full of suture scars left by surgery......
When I was questioning whether I had seen a ghost, reality told me that the ghost was my current self.
After Liang Qiang returned to the ward, his sad mood couldn't calm down for a long time, he wanted to cry a lot, but he was a soldier, and he had survived so many difficult times, he couldn't cry and forcibly suppressed his sad emotions.
At this time, his girlfriend came in, he changed his previous attitude, and coldly proposed to break up with his beloved woman, the two of them were originally going to get married, but now that they look like this, how can they bear to drag her down!
After his girlfriend was stunned for a moment, he continued to help Liang Qiang continue to make the table to eat, looking at his indifferent girlfriend, he anxiously pushed the food on the table to the ground.
The ground was sprinkled with food, and the mess was just like his mood at this time, obviously so reluctant, but there was no way, he didn't want to delay his beloved girl.
The girlfriend had already guessed that Liang Qiang was seeing herself, and she didn't want to drag her down to have such a meeting, her eyes were red for a moment, and she went out after cleaning up her meal, and at this time, it happened that her comrades-in-arms came over.
Liang Qiang's long-suppressed emotions finally broke out, and after crying bitterly, he turned to laugh loudly, his comrades-in-arms thought he was crazy, but he said: "Exchange my skin for 27 lives, it's worth it!"
He talked about his concerns about his girlfriend, and his comrades decided to help him talk to his girlfriend.
"The glory of a hero is only temporary, after the halo fades, will you still be firmly with him? ”
The girlfriend didn't answer for a long time, presumably her heart was also struggling, so she choked up and said, "I can't do without him in my life." ”
With this answer, the stone in the comrade-in-arms' heart was also put down, and he turned to Liang Qiang to express the content of the conversation and convey the meaning of the organization to him.
"Even if you become a cripple, the military district will support you for the rest of your life. ”
In order to give his girlfriend a complete family, in order to continue his unfinished mission, he must persevere.
Live a different life
This accidental burn was like opening his second vein, which made Liang Qiang become more and more convinced and become a better fighter!
After Liang Qiang was discharged from the hospital, in order to exercise his mentality and better accept the strange eyes of his current self and others, he decided to go to the street, but after seeing the frightened people, he hurried back.
It's not because he can't accept it, but because he's worried about scaring others, as long as his psychology is strong enough.
Taking into account his physical condition, the army decided to transfer him to work in an organ unit where he had a leisurely job, but he felt that he had not yet reached that point, so he resolutely gave up the above arrangement.
At his strong request, he was transferred to an artillery battalion as a platoon commander, and in order to adapt to his previous life more quickly, he trained hard every day.
The training that he was good at became rusty, and his unsound fingers couldn't even grasp the horizontal bar, so he trapped himself on it with a rope, and even if he accidentally fell and was injured, he would immediately get up and continue.
Because of the skin grafting operation, coupled with the burning of the sweat glands all over his body, he often had blood stains oozing out of his military uniform during training, and once unfortunately broke his fingers.
His comrades-in-arms advised him to rest, and the next day he still appeared on the training ground with his disabled fingers, proving that he was not a wasted person, and that he was still the same as before, a soldier who served his country.
During the all-army assessment, the leaders took care of his body and directly exempted him from the examination, but he refused on the grounds that he was "not special," and finally achieved a passing result.
In addition to improving his military ability, Liang Qiang also passed the junior college examination through study, continued to improve to a bachelor's degree, and became one of the few college students in the team.
At that time, computers were about to become popular, and he realized that this must become a trend, so he bought a computer at his own expense and successfully passed the computer level 1 exam.
Liang Qiang and his girlfriend Su Jing held a wedding in the third month after they were discharged from the hospital, and now they are both busy in their respective positions, and they also have a very cute daughter.
When others asked her if she was afraid of the scar on her father's face, she replied: It was not a scar, it was her father's military medal.
When Liang Qiang was fighting the fire, he probably didn't think that this would be the case, he only knew that he couldn't let the passengers in the car be harmed, even if he did it again, he would still choose to do so.
How can there be any quiet years, but someone is carrying the weight for us, and I wish Liang Qiang a better and better life in the future!
