Liu Yongsheng: "Barefoot doctor Xiang Yanghua, the vast world to root"

Reporter Mu Cheng

On June 24, the release ceremony of the "Shaanxi Good People List" from May to June and the on-site exchange activities between moral models and good people around them were held in Weinan. Liu Yongsheng, a good person in China and a village doctor at the Desert Migration Clinic in Sijiaoying Village, Qindong Town, Tongguan County, as a guest, presented the newly selected helpers with "moral heirlooms" to the representatives of the good people of Le Shaanxi.

Liu Yongsheng was selected for the "China Good People List" in 2015. After that, he successively won honorary titles such as "Outstanding Communist Party Member of Shaanxi Province", "Model of the Three Qins", "Nomination Award of the Seventh National Moral Model", etc.

"Honor is an incentive and you have to do better. I am a party member, and only by having the masses in my heart and using medical skills to relieve the pain of the common people can I live up to the glorious status of a communist party member. Liu Yongsheng said.

Communist Party member, doctor, these two keywords almost run through Liu Yongsheng's life. Liu Yongsheng fractured his leg when he was more than 1 year old, and he was only diagnosed with the support of several party members in the deserted village (which has been merged into Sijiaoying Village). From the time I can remember, my mother often said to him: "The Communist Party is for the sake of the masses, and party members serve the masses." In the future, like them, you must help the poor. Since then, the four words "Communist Party member" have been deeply engraved in Liu Yongsheng's heart.

In 1976, Liu Yongsheng relied on the knowledge he learned in the high school medical class to read prescriptions, dispense traditional Chinese medicines and personally try medicines to see several children with measles. The village cadres of the deserted village sent Liu Yongsheng to the hospital for training and decided to let him serve as a village doctor. In 1977, Liu Yongsheng officially joined the Communist Party of China. For nearly half a century thereafter, he spent almost every day decocting medicine, needles, and visiting clinics.

What diseases the villagers have, Liu Yongsheng will learn what diseases to treat. In the evening, Liu Yongsheng cuts and pastes the secret recipes he collects and writes follow-up notes; when he encounters new Chinese medicine recipes, he must personally taste the medicine to be assured; in order to master acupuncture techniques, he always practices on himself; he also participates in more than 30 special medical technology training classes across the country at his own expense. Liu Yongsheng has mastered acupuncture, cupping, massage, etc., learned gastric lavage, acute trauma treatment, urinary catheterization and other techniques, and gradually formed a unique set of integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine medical techniques.

In 1985, Xie Wanxi, the elder of the Xie family in the deserted village, and Xie Cunxi, the third elder, were accidentally injured while making firecrackers. Liu Yongsheng gave them an emergency bandage and contacted the vehicle to take them to the hospital for rescue, so that the brothers saved their lives. Later, he also took Xie Cunxi to the hospitals in Xi'an, Zhengzhou and other places for further treatment at his own expense.

Liu Yongsheng has a thick "health ledger" in his heart, who is a geriatric and chronic disease patient, who is a serious and terminally ill patient, he clearly remembers. Today, Liu Yongsheng is more than 60 years old, and when asked if he planned to take a break, he said: "As long as I can still do it, I must continue to serve the masses." ”

Love is passing on. Liu Yongsheng's son Liu Bo also returned to the Desert Migration Clinic after graduating from medicine, mainly responsible for public health services for the masses. Liu Bo said: "Feeling the deep feelings of my father and the villagers, and seeing the joy and gratitude of the villagers after their recovery, I understand that it is very valuable to take root in the countryside and pay silently." Now, Liu Yongsheng's granddaughter Liu Xin is studying medicine at a university and plans to work in medical services in the future.

Kindness continues. More than 1,000 public welfare people in Tongguan County have formed a "Liu Yongsheng Volunteer Service Team" to carry out volunteer service work in communities, villages and schools for a long time.

In the 1970s, the film "Red Rain" based on the theme of a village doctor was released. Since then, Liu Yongsheng likes to wear red clothes like the protagonist Hongyu, and he also loves the film's episode "Barefoot Doctor Sunflower" the most. When interviewed, when it comes to emotional places, he can't help but sing: "A silver needle cures all diseases, a red heart warms a thousand homes; when I go to the clinic, I am willing to climb a thousand layers of mountains, and I dare to climb a cliff when I collect medicine... The barefoot doctor to the sun, the vast world to put the roots..."
