Changsha, 8 Mar (Xinhua) -- Fan Shuguang, a 95-year-old female anti-japanese war soldier who had just completed cataract surgery, looked at her hands covered with age spots and quipped in a thick Xiangtan accent: "It's better not to see, but to see that you are so old, you can call it 'old decay'." ”
At her home in Beitou Village, Xiangtan County, Hunan Province, Fan Shuguang concentrated on the television, which broadcast the news of the two sessions. Fan Shuguang's daughter Li Siyuan laughed at her: "My eyes are not good, I still like to watch TV, and I can't see anything, and my ears can't do it." ”
Fan Shuguang immediately covered his eyes with his hands and repeated, "Don't look or look, you have to rest, you have to rest." Fan Shuguang's reason for surgery is "very sufficient" - "I love to play mahjong, but I can't see the cards clearly in front of my eyes, and others won't play with me." Fan Shuguang said as he simulated holding mahjong in his hand and putting it in front of his eyes.
Tong Zhenjun, a volunteer from the Hunan Veterans' Home who has been visiting Fan Shuguang for a long time, said: "Grandma Fan is actually a special 'beauty-loving' person, who likes to raise flowers and has colorful yards; when she returns from surgery, she says that when she sees that there is dust in her home, she must rush to do hygiene." ”
During this year's Spring Festival, Fan Shuguang's vision seriously declined, causing great inconvenience to daily life. After Tong Zhenjun learned about it, he contacted the Public Welfare Fund for Caring for Anti-Japanese War Veterans, and in less than two months, Fan Shuguang underwent free cataract surgery at Changsha Xiangjiang Aier Eye Hospital.
The person in charge of the hospital told reporters that cataract surgery is now very mature, although Grandma Fan is old, but the risk is not large, and it is not too difficult to recover. Tong Zhenjun said: "Maybe she herself was a military doctor before, and she was not at all repelled from surgery."
At the age of 16, Fan Shuguang entered the then Changsha Desheng Hospital to study medicine, and after completing her studies, she worked at the Renji Hospital in Hengyang, founded by American missionaries. In 1943, she joined a military station hospital in Hengxian County, Guangxi Province, along with several colleagues, as a military doctor to rescue wounded Chinese anti-Japanese fighters on the front line.
Recalling her wartime work, she clearly remembers some details: "The wounds of the soldiers who came down from the battlefield are maggots, and I will use tweezers to tweezers one by one." ”
Today, fan shuguang's tweezers have become a crutch, and flower raising, television and mahjong have become her "new comrades-in-arms". On crutches and pacing, she invited a group of "old buddies" to spend sunny hours together.
