After the end of the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam in March 1979, the reluctant Vietnamese army continued to harass the border area, and also crossed the border to occupy the riding line points on the border line, and built fortifications to shell China' territory.
In April 1984, the battle to recover Laoshan began, during the battle, many combat heroes and glorious deeds emerged, and the war correspondents risked their lives to leave the real Laoshan battlefield photos for the world, including a "Death Kiss" taken in 1986 that made many iron-blooded men cry, so what happened to the female soldier of the heroine ambulance team in the photo?
The female warrior' name is Zhang Ru, her ancestral home is Guo Village, Jiangdu, her parents are aviation researchers, in 1983, she joined the army in Xi'an, became a hygienist in the 47th Army field women's ambulance team, in November 1985 went to the Laoshan front to participate in the task of rescuing the wounded. At that time, she was in the field hospital of the Mangundong Division Command Post, and participated in the rescue of Xu Liang, a first-class combat hero, Luo Muyuan, the "King of Mine Clearance", and Zhao Weijun, a first-class hero.
In the reconquest of Laoshan, Ziyin Mountain and defensive round battle, every day is the news of victory and the news of heroic sacrifice intertwined, every moment there are thrilling things happening, and the most memorable thing for Zhang Ru is the 19-year-old little soldier named Zhao Weijun, he is a Gansu Yuzhong man, he was seriously injured in the battle, and then amputated due to wound infection, in the process of rescue he has been suffering from high fever and unconsciousness.
On the morning of July 28, the comatose Zhao Weijun finally woke up, and he weakly asked the female medical nurse next to him: "In which direction is Lanzhou?" Zhang Ru pointed with her finger to the northwest, and pointed the stretcher with other female medical nurses to the northwest. Zhao Weijun looked to the northwest and said weakly, "Mommy and Daddy, I may not be able to go back, I didn't embarrass you..."
After saying that, he looked up at Zhang Ru and said to her: "Sister, you rescue me for a few days, I may not be able to do it, I don't regret it, there is something that I regret, I heard that life without love is not perfect, I have not been in love, can I hug you"?
For this request, Zhang Ru did not hesitate, she leaned down to take him in her arms and kissed him on the cheek. Zhao Weijun smiled and fell into his arms, then closed his eyes and never woke up again.
Later, Wang Hong, a war photography officer, took a photo based on this incident and restored the scene at that time, hoping to tell the world through this photo how cruel the war was and how fragile life was.
