In 1931, the Japanese army invaded and occupied northeast China, and since then, the lives of the people in the three northeastern provinces have been in deep trouble.
Ma Xu, a little girl born in Heilongjiang Province, had to follow her parents to hide in Tibet in such an environment. After an accident that made the originally unstable days worse, Ma Xu's father unfortunately died and was on his way to escape.
The death of his father was not accidental, and the long period of upheaval and displacement, coupled with the long period of fear and malnutrition, was a miracle to survive in this environment.
The family lost the top pillar, the burden of supporting Ma Xu and her brother, naturally pressed on Ma Xu's mother, this woman who has been reading and reading since childhood, in order to let the child have a bite to eat, every day will take two children to the street to talk and sell art, and the reward money can only barely enough for the 2 children in the family to eat and drink.
Despite this, Ma Xu's mother did not want to suffer the child, thinking that if she ate less, the children would be able to eat more and drink water when they were hungry. In the long run, due to the long-term lack of food, Ma Xu's mother's arms and legs were swollen beyond recognition. The neighbors, who really couldn't stand it, did not secretly help them, and at the door of Ma Xu's house, there would always be a basket containing meals from time to time.
Ma Xu's mother, who supported this family of three, was not sloppy in educating her two children, and the two children began to recognize words from an early age, and the two children were more familiar with various heroic deeds.
In 1948, with the arrival of the Communist Party, the northeast ushered in a new atmosphere, and Ma Xu was 14 years old at this time.
Seeing the PLA team that has brought a new atmosphere to the northeast, Ma Xu, who has wanted to be a great hero since he was educated by his mother since he was a child, feels that he should join the PLA team, "Mom, I want to join the PLA team." He thought that his mother would be very supportive of his Ma Xu. He immediately told his mother what he thought.
What Ma Xu did not expect was that her mother rejected her, "Child, there is no child's play on the battlefield, bullets do not have long eyes, you a girl on the battlefield, I really can't bear it!" After all, Ma Xu was still a half-grown child, still a girl.
Ma Xu, who made up his mind, insisted on his own ideas no matter how much his mother advised him, and in desperation, his mother had to promise Ma Xu, "There is no turning back arrow when opening the bow, and if you make up your mind, you will do something!" ”
Since then, Ma Xu began her military career, and after that, she became the first female paratrooper in China, and Ma Xu never forgot that she had helped her father and fellow villagers, let alone her hometown.
At 10:00 a.m. on September 13, 2018, a police station in a certain jurisdiction of Wuhan received a police call from the branch of the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China at Wuhan Airport, saying that a pair of elderly people had been defrauded, and the amount may be as high as several million.
The police station immediately sent the police to the scene, and after the police arrived at the scene, after investigation, it was finally confirmed that the two elderly people had not been defrauded.
2 hours before the police arrived at the scene, an old couple wearing worn-out camouflage uniforms, waddling to the branch to handle business, the couple appeared in the business hall, saw the couple on age, the account manager Pan Yuan stepped forward to ask the two elderly people if there was any need for help, "Please, what business do you two want to handle?" While asking, Pan Yuan guided the two old men to sit down and rest.
"I want to transfer money." The old lady in the couple answered the staff member Pan Yuan's question, "Who do you want to transfer to?" How much is the amount? After pouring water for the two old men, Pan Yuan then asked.
However, the old lady's next answer was that Pan Yuan did not expect anything, "I want to transfer to Mulan County, Heilongjiang Province, today first transfer 3 million, and then transfer another 7 million." ”。
"You mean, a total of 10 million yuan will be transferred to this account!" Pan Yuan asked in surprise.
Looking at the two plainly dressed old men in front of her, Pan Yuan was really incredible, "These two old people wearing old camouflage uniforms actually have so many deposits, and they have to transfer them to a strange account at once. Pan Yuan had already determined in her heart that the two old men had been defrauded.
After stabilizing the two old men not to transfer money first, Pan Yuan immediately called for someone to invite the vice president on duty to come over. After relaying what he had just done to the vice president, the vice president invited the two elderly people to the president's office, while the other two men who were traveling with the two elderly people were stopped outside the office by Pan Yuan.
The two old men also understood at this time, and quickly explained to the vice president: "I have not been deceived, and the two people outside are not liars, they are cadres of the Education Bureau of Mulan County in Heilongjiang Province, and my wife and I are retired cadres, and this time I want to donate money to my hometown." Then, the old lady also took out the identity cards of her and her wife.
Even if the two old men said this, the vice president still did not dare to be sure that this was not a fraud case, after all, the amount of money that the two old men wanted to transfer was too high, under multiple considerations, the vice president still explained the situation to the police station in the jurisdiction, and asked the police station to send someone to verify the identity.
Soon, according to the information provided by the two elderly people, the police who arrived contacted the previous units of the two elderly people, confirmed the identity of the two elderly people, and at the same time, urgently contacted the public security department of Mulan County, Heilongjiang Province, and finally learned that the two men were indeed cadres of the Mulan County Education Bureau in Heilongjiang Province.
It seems that the two old people were not deceived, and after all the suspicions of fraud were ruled out, the bank quickly handled the transfer business of the old man.
It is understood that the two plainly dressed old people are Ma Xu and her husband who joined the army at the age of 14, and this donation, Ma Xu and his wife donated all their wealth to Ma Xu's hometown.
Why should the couple donate all their wealth at once?
Ma Xu replied: "I heard that my hometown is short of money in education, and I can't delay the children's reading, my wife and I have saved some money over the years, although it is not much, but the children can have books to read." ”
When someone said why he would donate so much money without hesitation when he heard that his hometown needed money, Ma Xu replied excitedly, "If it weren't for the people in my hometown helping our family, I would have starved to death a long time ago, and I was still a soldier sent by people in my hometown, and now that I am out of the crowd, my hometown needs me, and I must do my best." ”
So, how did Ma Xu, who despised all fame and fortune, step by step to success, and how did he "get ahead"?
Because of his young age, when he joined the army, 14-year-old Ma Xu successfully became a military hygienist after being assigned to the Northeast Military and Political University to learn some medical knowledge, and has been at the forefront of the Liaoshen Campaign.
Witnessing the scene of the soldiers fighting on the battlefield, Ma Xu's heart strengthened the conviction in her heart, she must follow the team, absolutely can not fall out of the ranks of the Communist Party, she firmly believes that only the Communist Party can lead the people to a happy and good life.
Later, when the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea broke out, Ma Xu took the initiative to ask to go to North Korea and rush to the forefront. In the face of the enemy with advanced weapons, the soldiers of our army have never flinched, and Ma Xu, who is in a unit with the combat hero Huang Jiguang, has not only experienced the war in the frontline battlefield, but also witnessed the birth of the special hero. On the battlefield, where the strength of the enemy and us is extremely large, Ma Xu, who has always rushed to the forefront, while playing the role of a military doctor, also personally went on the battlefield to kill the enemy, and on the battlefield full of war, Ma Xu was gloriously wounded.
After the end of the Korean War, Ma Xu, who won many honorary titles, was organized to go to the First Military Medical University for further study, and after graduation, Ma Xu was assigned to the General Hospital of the Wuhan Military Region.
However, just when everyone was envious of Ma Xu's good job of having an "iron rice bowl", Ma Xu took the initiative to leave his job. The reason is simple: the country needs it.
At that time, it was when the state began to form airborne troops, but the medical soldiers were slow to attract dissatisfaction, and after learning about this situation, Ma Xu did not hesitate to sign up. In this way, Ma Xu returned to the army again and became a military doctor.
Paratroopers, according to the superficial meaning, can imagine how high the risk factor of training is. Every time they train, these recruits, who have never been exposed to parachutes, just jumping from a height of 10,000 meters, it is already necessary to have a lot of courage, not to mention, not only need to jump from the high altitude at the same time, but also consider the jumping posture.
In addition, whether it is from the perspective of the weather or from the safety factor of the parachute, accidents can occur at any time during the training process. Among them, the unexpected final result is easy to cause ankle and waist injuries to soldiers.
After this problem was discovered by Ma Xu, who was a team doctor, Ma Xu felt that treatment was not a long-term solution, and only from the root cause, that is, the final landing posture and sudden accident, what posture should soldiers use to protect themselves and try to avoid injury.
Thinking about it, Ma Xu decided to experience it himself so that he could provide a way for the soldiers.
Immediately, Ma Xu found his superior leader and asked for permission to participate in the training of airborne soldiers.
However, things are as simple as Ma Xu thought, the training of airborne soldiers is extremely strict, and the selection of airborne soldiers must go through layer after layer of selection, not to mention, female airborne soldiers are unprecedented, and the superior leaders rejected Ma Xu's request for instructions in person.
The leader's refusal did not dispel ma Xu's idea of personally parachuting, the stubborn Ma Xu, he dug a bunker next to the dormitory, and also found someone to play a practice bench, every day when he had time, Ma Xu would practice by himself, not only that, the extremely demanding Ma Xu, but also set himself a goal "must jump five hundred times a day!" ”
Did not expect Ma Xu to be such a stubborn superior leader, when passing by the training pit dug by Ma Xu himself one day, he did not resist calling Ma Xu, who was training, to the office, on the way to the office, Ma Xu has not spoken to the leader, she is afraid that the leader will refuse her request again.
To Ma Xu's surprise, after arriving at the office, the leader did not directly talk about the skydiving training, but first poured her a cup of tea and asked her about her physical condition. Ma Xu, who saw the leader's tone change, was very excited, "Leader, I am in good health, I can completely carry out parachute training, you don't look at me as not tall!" ”
Seeing that Ma Xu was so excited, the leader did not directly promise Ma Xu to let her participate in the training directly, "First of all, the premise is that you must pass the examination first, and you must still jump better than other soldiers!" Although the leader did not directly agree to Ma Xu's request, Ma Xu was still very excited: "I will definitely complete the assessment smoothly!" ”
After that, Ma Xu began to train with other paratroopers, and in order to achieve better results than other male paratroopers, Ma Xu would insist on training for several hours every day without others.
The result did not disappoint Ma Xu, under Ma Xu's efforts, her assessment was unanimously appreciated by everyone, and the leader also agreed to Ma Xu's parachute, "Good, Ma Xu, good look!" ”
Since then, Ma Xu, who is not tall, began his career as a parachute jumper and became the first female paratrooper in New China.
Ma Xu did not forget the original intention of personally participating in the parachute jump, she not only devoted herself to solving the safety problems of the parachute paratroopers, but also pulled her husband through various materials, obtained one patent after another, and solved one problem after another that plagued the world.
In fact, Ma Xu's acquaintance with her husband began with her return to the motherland from North Korea.
At that time, Ma Xu was 20 years old, such a beautiful age, coupled with Ma Xu, who had personally experienced the cruel battlefield and had a unique tenacity temperament, attracted Yan Xueyong, who was also a military doctor, and two people with the same faith, soon walked together and formed a pair of revolutionary partners.
Since then, the like-minded two have never had an argument, and no matter what decision his wife makes, Yan Xueyong is very supportive.
Among them, in order not to delay the medical security work of the soldiers in the army, Ma Xu decided not to have children for the time being, and Yan Xueyong also respected Ma Xu's decision, and even performed ligature surgery for Ma Xu himself, although in the end, due to physical reasons, Ma Xu has not been able to conceive a child, Yan Xueyong has never complained about his wife, he knows that everything his wife does is for the motherland, and he is proud of his wife.
After retirement, Ma Xu and her husband lived a very simple life, a small yard, dilapidated furniture, eating their own vegetables, wearing camouflage uniforms issued by the army, and the most valuable thing in the family was a cabinet of books.
When assisting Ma Xu's hometown to donate all the family's savings, Yan Xueyong was also particularly supportive, "It was the people in her hometown who sent her as a soldier, otherwise I would not have met her, and the kindness of her hometown cannot be forgotten for a lifetime." ”
I have to admire, Ma Xu, who left her hometown at the age of 14, returned to her hometown again at the age of 85, and she fulfilled her mother's request and made a look!
