01
(Qu Bo in his youth)
Qu Bo was born in February 1923 in Huang County, Shandong Province (now Fengyi Zaolin Village, Longkou City), to poor farmers.
Qu Bo's father used to work as a dyer in a small workshop, and after losing his job, he farmed at home. Due to his family's poverty, Qu Bo only attended private school for five and a half years, but he was gifted and loved to read.
When he was a teenager, Qu Bo was familiar with classical classics such as "Water Margin", "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "The Complete Biography of Yue", and had a certain literary foundation. After dropping out of school, Qu Bo farmed and chopped wood at home to help his parents support the family.
In 1938, at the age of 15, Qu Bo joined the Eighth Route Army and joined the Chinese Communist Party two years later. During the Anti-Japanese War, Qu Bo successively studied at Jiaodong Public School (now Ludong University) and Jiaodong Anti-Japanese Military and Political University, and later fought against the Japanese invaders in Shandong with the Eighth Route Army, and served as the political commissar of the 4th Squadron of the Jiaodong Naval Detachment of the Eighth Route Army.
In 1942, Qu Bo led the work inspection team to the rear hospital of the Jiaodong Military Region to inspect the work and met Liu Bo.
(Qu Bo and Liu Bo when they were young)
Liu Bo was born in Huangxian County, Shandong Province in 1924, 1 year younger than Qu Bo, and the two are fellow villagers.
Liu Bo joined the Eighth Route Army at the age of 14 and was promoted to the head nurse of the Jiaodong Rear Hospital at the age of 15. In the same year, Liu Bo joined the party and served as a member of the hospital's party committee.
At the age of 16, Qu Bo became a cultural officer in the 13th Regiment of the Jiaodong Military Region, and an instructor at the age of 17. Qu Bo and Liu Bo are not very old, but they are two old revolutionaries.
During the cruel war years, the pair fell in love with each other.
On August 15, 1945, the Emperor of Japan announced defeat and surrender. In order to consolidate the anti-Japanese base area in Northeast China, the Jiaodong Naval Detachment of the Shandong Military Region was ordered to go north, and the troops arrived in Wuchang County, Heilongjiang Province to reorganize, with Qu Bo serving as the deputy political commissar of the Second Regiment and Liu Bo serving as the secretary of the Political Department of the Military Region.
(Early years of Qu Bo)
In June 1946, Qu Bo and Liu Bo held a simple wedding in the Mudanjiang Military Region.
At that time, the bandit problem in the Mudanjiang area was quite serious, and on the second day of the wedding, Qu Bo went into the mountains with the army to suppress the bandits.
Qu Bo and Liu Bo have a total of 4 children, the eldest daughter is named Qu Miaomiao, born in 1947. The second son is named Qu Jingjing, born in 1949.
The third son is a son, named Qu Leilei, born in 1951. The youngest daughter is named Qu Yu (pronounced cuì) 毳, born in 1953.

(Our army is suppressing bandits in the northeast)
Qu Bo led the troops to suppress the bandits quite dangerously, and the troops marched in the deep mountains and old forests in the snow, and were often ambushed by bandits, and could not return home for a long time.
Qu Bo could only reunite with his wife when he returned to the military region to report to his work. He stayed at home for one night and returned to the army early the next morning to suppress the bandits.
In December 1946, Qu Bo came back from suppressing the bandits, and all 10 toes were exposed from his socks, and his military uniform was torn and dirty, and he was covered with scabies.
Liu Bo brought ointment from the hospital, asked her husband to hunch over by the fire, and applied ointment all over his body.
After a large group of bandits was annihilated, the troops formed an armed reconnaissance team to pursue a small group of remnants in the deep mountains and old forests.
(Yang Zirong (1917-1947.2.23), formerly known as Yang Zonggui, was a native of Capehe Village, Muping County, Shandong)
Yang Zirong served as the platoon commander of the reconnaissance detachment and made great achievements. He led 4 warriors dressed as bandits and went deep into the tiger's den. On February 6, 1947, Yang Zirong joined forces with the outside world and captured the bandit leader "Mountain Carving" Zhang Leshan alive.
The Northeast Military Region awarded Yang Zirong a third-class meritorious service and awarded him the glorious title of a super-reconnaissance hero.
On February 23, 1947, Yang Zirong died tragically and heroically in the suppression of bandits, and Qu Bo was grief-stricken.
After the remnants of the bandits were cleared, Qu Bo participated in the Liaoshen Campaign with his troops. During the battle, shrapnel cut his femoral artery and fractured his thigh. There was no news from her husband, and Liu Bo was so anxious that she went all the way south from the northeast to various field hospitals to check the registration of the victims.
At that time, Liu Bo was 5 months pregnant, and she had a serious pregnancy reaction, eating and vomiting, and the long journey made her tired and haggard.
(In April 1948, Qu Bo was photographed with Liu Bo after being wounded in his left arm during the Battle of Faku.) ）
More than a week later, Liu Bo finally found her seriously injured husband at a farmer's home in Yi County, Hebei Province. Qu Bo was lying on the door panel, with a high fever of 39 degrees and a pale face.
The military doctor told Liu Bo that Qu Bo urgently needed a blood transfusion, otherwise his life would be in danger at any time. Due to the large number of wounded, they could not find a matching plasma.
Liu Bo said loudly: I match Qu Bo's blood type, pump mine. Because Liu Bo was pregnant, the military doctor disagreed.
Liu Bo was eager to save her husband and insisted on transfusing 200cc of blood for her husband. It was his wife who saved his life, and Qu Bo regarded his wife as a life-saving benefactor.
Due to the limited medical conditions at that time, Qu Bo's right leg was 4 centimeters shorter than his left leg, and he became a second-class disabled soldier who needed to walk on crutches.
(Qu Bo)
In 1950, Qu Bo and his wife transferred from the army and entered the Qiqihar Vehicle Factory to work, and Qu Bo served as the secretary of the party committee of the factory.
After his life stabilized, Qu Bo often missed those comrades who sacrificed his arms, and he felt that he was lucky to be alive, and it was necessary to record the heroic deeds of his comrades-in-arms to inspire future generations.
03
From 1955 onwards, Qu Bo began to compose "Lin Hai Snow Plain" at home. He was afraid that others would find out about the joke, so he secretly wrote it at home and pulled down the curtains.
On the most day, Qu Bo can write 10,000 words, from morning to night. Liu Bo copied her husband's manuscript and bound it into a book.
When writing about the sacrifice of his comrades-in-arms, Qu Bo often lay on the table and cried bitterly.
(Qu Bo (second row, third from right) went to Hailin to pay homage to the tomb of Yang Zirong martyrs)
It was also in 1955 that Qu Bo and his wife were transferred to Beijing to work, and the family moved to live in Beijing. Qu Bo served as the vice president of the First Design Institute of the First Aircraft Department, and Liu Bo entered Beijing Medical University (the predecessor of Peking University Health Science Center).
After the first draft of more than 400,000 words was completed, Liu Bo bought back two meters of cloth and wrapped the manuscript into two large bags. Opposite Qu Bo's house is the Foreign Languages Bureau, where the editorial office of "Chinese Literature" works.
The couple came to the editorial office with the manuscript, but it was a foreign language work, and the other party suggested that they try it at the writers' publishing house.
Subsequently, the couple took the manuscript to the editorial office of "People's Literature" by bus.

(Famous writer Long Shihui (December 30, 1925 - August 18, 1991))
Qu Bo said to the editor Long Shihui: I am not a professional writer, so I don't know if I can write well. If you don't use it, please call me and I'll pick up the rejection.
More than a month later, Qu Bo received a call from Long Shihui, saying that the draft was ready to be adopted and needed to be revised. Under the guidance of the editor, Qu Bo revised the manuscript.
Subsequently, "People's Literature" took "Surprise Attack on the Tiger and Wolf's Den" as the title, and serialized 6 chapters, including "Ordered", "Yang Zirong's Wisdom and Little Furnace Craftsman", "Night Trial", and "The Myth of the Mushroom Old Man Nipple Mountain".
In September 1957, "Lin Hai Xueyuan" was published by the Writers Publishing House, which caused a sensation throughout the country. The female military doctor in the novel, "Little White Pigeon" Bai Ru, was created based on Liu Bo.
Later, "Surprise Attack on the Tiger's Nest" was translated into Russian, English, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, Norwegian and other languages. According to preliminary statistics, a total of 3.136 million copies of "Lin Hai Xueyuan" have been printed in China. "Lin Hai Snow Field" made Qu Bo famous in one fell swoop.
From 1959 to 1965, Qu Bo wrote two novels, "Mountains and Tsunami" and "Bridge Longbiao". Qu Bo's industrial novels "Heat Treatment" and "Quarrel", as well as the essay "Sanguan Pingwu", also have a certain influence.
In 1966, when the special era began, Qu Bo was branded as a capitalist roader, often criticized, and later imprisoned in a cowshed.
(Qu Bo)
Someone forced Qu Bo to write materials to expose others, so that he could protect himself. Many people rely on this way to get by, adding fuel and vinegar to frame good people. But Qu Bo resolutely did not harm anyone and did not expose anyone.
Some people also persuaded Liu Bo to divorce Qu Bo, but she was severely reprimanded.

The four children of Qu Bo and his wife were also implicated by him, and the eldest daughter, Qu Miaomiao, was born in the war-torn years and was fostered by her mother in a nursery school behind the Mudanjiang River.
When Qu Miaomiao was a sophomore at China Medical University, the special era began, and she was shocked in school and looked down upon by her teachers and classmates.
(Qu Bo's creative manuscript)
Qu Jingjing, the eldest son of Qu Bo and his wife, was sent to the countryside of northern Shaanxi to cut the queue.
In 1968, the state had a policy: if two children of a family went to the countryside to join the queue, they could be transferred to the same place. So, Qu Jingjing and her younger brother Qu Leilei went to Hailin in Heilongjiang to make iron.
The youngest daughter, Qu Yuyu, went to Fujian early to serve as a soldier, and was implicated by her father, so she could not be promoted in the army or admitted to the military academy.
Qu Bo felt sorry for his four children, and felt pain and guilt in his heart.
At the end of the special era in 1976, Qu Bo returned to normal work, when he was 53 years old and middle-aged.
