In 1986, on the front line of the Laoshan Battlefield, a man wearing a military uniform and a camera hanging from his neck bent down and stepped into the trenches, he was the photographer Wang Hong. The warriors had just gone through an uphill battle, and the whole trench was in disarray. The warriors were covered in bandages, their faces stained with blood, and they lay in pain. At this time, an intermittent voice came over, "Sister, can you hug me?" ”

Wang Hong was stunned, and then looked up, only to see a female nurse lying next to a soldier with tears on her face, and gently said to the soldier: "Good! Immediately, the female nurse hugged the dying soldier tightly, bowed her head and kissed the soldier's face. Wang Hong raised her hand to pick up the camera, and with a click, a photo of what was later called "Dead Kiss" appeared. Who was this nurse who kissed the soldiers? What happened to her?
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="7" > red seeds are planted in the heart since childhood</h1>
This female nurse's name is Zhang Ru, such an ordinary name, but there is an unusual story behind it. Zhang Ru was born in a red family, and her grandfather was the older generation of the Red Army. After crossing meadows, turning over snowy mountains, resisting Japan and saving the country, he made great contributions to the liberation of the motherland. Zhang Ru's parents are also very good, both of them are engaged in the aerospace industry of science and technology workers, for the development and construction of the country and work hard. Due to the founding of New China, scientific research work is the busiest time, the husband and wife can not allocate time to take care of the little Zhang Ru, so they have to entrust her to the care of their grandfather.
Since childhood, Zhang Ru listened to her grandfather tell the story of the Red Army's Long March. Grandpa always said to Zhang Ru: "Without the Communist Party, there would be no new China, and we must protect this hard-won country well." Grandpa said it more often, and Zhang Ru's heart also planted a red seed. Therefore, Zhang Ru looked forward to contributing to the motherland when she was a child.
Also full of yearning for the Red Army and wanting to contribute to the development and construction of the motherland, there is another person, he is Zhao Weijun. In 1968, Zhao Weijun was born in gansu to an ordinary peasant family. Zhao Weijun is very smart, and his family desperately wants to provide him with schooling, but in the end, because his family is poor, he cannot pay the tuition, and Zhao Weijun can only drop out of school and go home. After returning home, Zhao Weijun helped the family to do farm work.
When working in TianGeng, Zhao Weijun often listened to his grandfather tell stories about the Red Army. Grandpa Zhao was a person who came out of the war-torn years, so Grandpa Zhao often said to Zhao Weijun: "It is really not easy for us to have today's life, and these are all the revolutionary fighters who exchanged their lives for it." If you have the opportunity to serve the country, then you go. Gradually, Zhao Weijun began to be full of yearning for the army, and made up his mind to become a soldier in the future.
In 1983, Zhang Ru took the lead in realizing her dream. After Zhang Ru graduated, she did not choose to go out to work, but chose to join the army. The family is very supportive of Zhang Ru's decision, especially Zhang Ru's grandfather. So Zhang Ru joined the army with the support of her family and became a hygienist in the army. Two years later, Zhao Weijun finally grew to the age of seventeen, and driven by the red seed, Zhao Weijun went to the Lanzhou Military Region and signed up as a soldier. After becoming a soldier, the hard life in the military camp made Zhao Weijun, who had always been accustomed to suffering, somewhat uncomfortable. But in order to realize the dream of becoming a soldier, Zhao Weijun has been gritting his teeth and insisting.
Zhang Ru and Zhao Weijun both have the best wishes for the motherland in their hearts, and they also hope that they can do their part for the motherland. Under the arrangement of fate, the fate of these two originally unrelated fates changed in Laoshan.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="35" After the outbreak of the > War, he rushed to the front line without hesitation</h1>
In April 1986, Vietnam continued to harass the Chinese border. At this time, Zhao Weijun followed the troops and, according to the order, came to Wenshanzhou. The troops intended to receive training here, and then take over the Jinan army and enter the Laoshan battlefield. This was Zhao Weijun's first time on the battlefield, he was wearing a military uniform, very nervous. Zhao Weijun knew that the battlefield was cruel, and he also knew that he was likely to face death in the near future. But Zhao Weijun thought that he was contributing to the country, and his heart was still full of courage.
After training, Zhao Weijun and his teammates entered the Laoshan battlefield. Here, Zhao Weijun was placed on the Songmaoling position. Songmaoling is damp and cold, and the conditions are very harsh. But it was in this environment that Zhao Weijun and his teammates resisted hundreds of sneak attacks by Vietnamese soldiers. The long-term inability to attack made the Vietnamese soldiers extremely irritable. In order to force Zhao Weijun and his teammates to surrender. Vietnam began to use the tactic of indiscriminate bombardment, dropping many shells at Song Mao Ling. But none of this could repel Zhao Weijun and his teammates. Zhao Weijun's performance during this period was also very brave, even if he knew that once he was injured by a bomb, he could die. However, when charging forward, Zhao Weijun still rushed to the front.
On the other side, Zhang Ru's unit was also transferred to Laoshan. Because Zhang Ru joined the army earlier than Zhao Weijun, Zhang Ru did not participate in the training, but directly entered the Laoshan battlefield. On the battlefield, Zhang Ru finally felt the cruelty of war. Screaming bombs overhead, painful soldiers, and charred land all irritated Zhang Ru's nerves. Every day, Zhang Ru carried first-aid items through the trenches, applying medicine and bandages to each wounded soldier. One soldier after another fell injured, and Zhang Ru and her teammates were busy.
At this time, Zhang Ru and Zhao Weijun had not yet reached the time to meet. The moment when the fates of the two young people were really intertwined was in July 1986.
In July 1986, Zhao Weijun had been in the Laoshan Battlefield for 3 months. During these 3 months, this seventeen-year-old child experienced many births and deaths. The brutal war polished Zhao Weijun into a more mature and resolute soldier. However, no one expected that the accident still happened.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="36" > desperately rescued but ultimately failed</h1>
In a battle, there was a sudden loud bang, and even though Zhao Weijun struggled to jump away, he was still injured by the bombs planted by the enemy. When the shock wave of the bomb came over, Zhao Weijun instantly lost all perception. Zhao Weijun's teammates struggled to rescue him, and immediately sent Zhao Weijun to the medical team.
The moment Zhao Weijun woke up, he realized that he was still alive, and he was obviously happy. Zhao Weijun lowered his head and looked at himself with bandages all over his body. Hygienists kept coming and going, and the cries of comrades-in-arms were constantly whispering in their ears. Zhao Weijun thought he had good luck this time and passed by the God of Death. But soon, Zhao Weijun was blackened in front of his eyes due to excessive blood loss.
Zhang Ru was next to Zhao Weijun at this time, and when Zhao Weijun was sent, Zhang Ru and other medical staff had already rescued him for the first time. However, the environmental conditions at that time were too simple, and the cold Songmao Ridge was not suitable for recovering a patient who had been injured by a bomb, so soon after being rescued, Zhao Weijun launched a high fever, which was caused by wound infection.
In such a simple environment, medicines are in short supply, and Zhang Ru and other medical staff are helpless even if they are anxious for Zhao Weijun. There was no way, Zhao Weijun could only rely on his own body to hold on. However, the high fever caused by infection is so easy to recede. Not to mention that the battlefield environment is harsh, and Zhao Weijun does not have enough nutritional supplements.
After surviving several high fevers in succession, Zhao Weijun's consciousness began to be confused. Zhang Ru has been with Zhao Weijun when he was fighting against high fever and took good care of him. Zhang Ru hoped from the bottom of her heart that Zhao Weijun would get better, but the high fever was still taking Zhao Weijun's life step by step. Finally, Zhao Weijun opened his eyes. This time, Zhao Weijun's consciousness seemed particularly sober.
Zhang Ru and Zhao Weijun
Zhao Weijun said to Zhang Ru, who was with him: "I miss my hometown so much, can I move my stretcher to the direction of Lanzhou." At this time, Zhang Ru already understood that Zhao Weijun only had his last breath left. Zhang Ru suppressed the tears under her eyes and agreed to Zhao Weijun's request. After the stretcher was facing Lanzhou, Zhao Weijun kept thinking about his parents and hometown. Subsequently, Zhao Weijun looked at Zhang Ru again and said intermittently: "I have never been in love in my life, I have heard people say that a life without love is incomplete, sister, can you hug me?" ”
Zhang Ru couldn't hold back the tears in her eyes at this moment, she sobbed and nodded, "Good! Immediately, the young and beautiful nurse lowered her head and gently gave Zhao Weijun a hug. Immediately, under Zhao Weijun's gaze, Zhang Ru kissed Zhao Weijun's forehead and the corners of his mouth with tears in his eyes. These two kisses, without any other feelings, were all Zhang Ru's respect and sympathy for Zhao Weijun, the great warrior.
Zhao Weijun finally smiled and looked at Zhang Ru, closing his eyes forever in the sound of artillery fire. Zhang Ru and Zhao Weijun, how similar the fate lines of these two young people were in the first seventeen years, but in the place of Laoshan, the two lines of destiny intersected simply and urgently, and one of the fate lines was cut off from then on.
Wang Hong, a photographer accompanying the army, took this photo of "Dead Kiss", which made countless people cry after seeing it.

Zhang Ru
Zhao Weijun's departure made Zhang Ru unable to let go for a long time. What Zhang Ru can do is to rescue more people on the battlefield. Finally, China's war with Vietnam ended with China's final victory. Zhang Ru returned home from the battlefield. Zhang Ru originally had the opportunity to devote herself to normal study and life, but people who have experienced life and death parting always feel that something is missing when they look at the ordinary life in front of them. Zhang Ru is incompatible with ordinary life. In the end, after Zhang Ru pondered, she decided to do something for the heroes who died on the battlefield.
Therefore, Zhang Ru began to comfort the families of the martyrs. Because the warriors died on the battlefield, the remains are difficult to identify. Zhang Ru spontaneously contacted the relevant departments to help the families of the martyrs claim the remains. In addition, Zhang Ru also visited many provinces, all just to comfort the families of the martyrs. In 2011, Zhang Ru came to Lanzhou and stood in front of Zhao Weijun's tombstone. Zhang Ru looked at the name on the tombstone, tears surged out, and Zhang Ru's mood was as sad as the day When Zhao Weijun completely closed his eyes.
