Guo Junqing was born in 1931 in an extremely poor farmer’s family in Lingyuan County, Liaoning. At the age of 6, the family had to pack everything up and start fleeing because of the difficult conditions at the family and the sudden famine. After several months of fleeing. Begging for food, 7-year-old Guo Junqing and his family finally came to Balinzuo Banner, Inner Mongolia, where they found a dilapidated house, after a short period of tidying up, they settled there. But even this fate did not let this poor family go. In 1944, Guo Junqing's father was finally forced to death under the long-term squeeze of the landlord.

In order to feed his sick mother and young brothers and sisters, Guo Junqing made a decision that was to shave her hair, dress herself as a boy, and then go out to work. But what makes people sad is that the money Guo Junqing earned with his strength was not enough for the whole family. The 3-year-old sister also died of hunger and illness during this period. The time came to 1945. The young Guo Junqing had been working outside for more than a year. Every day, he had no idea how to earn more money to support his family. It wasn't until the appearance of a group of female Soviet Red Army soldiers on the street that Guo Junqing's life was suddenly changed.

Seeing the heroic Red Army soldier, Guo Junqing instantly remembered his father who was bullied by the landlord, and Guo Junqing, who wanted to avenge his father, had the idea of joining the army. She wanted to join the army after she became a soldier. You can fight with the Eighth Route Army, and one day you can avenge your father. She just changed her name to Guo Fu and went to the Eighth Route Army’s enlistment office. After her name was changed, she also falsely reported her age. Since she has been working locally for more than a year, she is also a careless character on weekdays. The big guy has always regarded her as a boy, so the people in the conscription office did not see that he was a girl. However, even those from the conscription office rejected her application for joining the army on the grounds of being thin and young.
The masses and Guo Junqing
But Guo Junqing did not give up his dream of joining the army.After the troop started, he followed the troop for more than 200 kilometers. Finally she found the leader of the army and said that she was small and weak because she hadn't eaten enough food. She was young because of the slow growth and development caused by long-term work. She was not too old. Looking at such a stubborn "boy" , The leader of the army really couldn't help but finally agreed to her request to join the army. Guo Junqing, who had just entered the barracks, first worked out in the boot camp for some time. This is not a difficult task for her as a part-time worker, but if she wants to enter a cavalry company, she must also master and be proficient in cavalry. In order to quickly grasp the essentials and enter the cavalry company, Guo Junqing practiced horse riding on the grassland day and night. After falling from the horse time and time again, she gradually mastered the essentials of horse riding, and became the best riding skill in the recruit training camp. Soldiers. In this way, she was successfully assigned to the Second Cavalry Company and became a true communication soldier.

Soon after she left the company, she received the first emergency mission of her military career, that is : send a combat order to 30 kilometers away in 4 hours In the army! Maybe the 30 kilometers might not sound very far, but we have to combine the local terrain and environment at that time. At that time, Guo Junqing's starting point and destination were basically rugged mountain roads, and there was no wide road to ride. In addition, it is in the twelfth lunar month of winter, and the entire mountain area is already covered by snow and ice. It is not as easy to walk as expected, not to mention that the news must be delivered within 4 hours. After receiving the report, Guo Junqing didn't have time to think about it, so he turned on his horse and galloped towards the direction of the troops.

On this road, Guo Junqing encountered a very narrow mountain road several times, coupled with the smoothness of the snow. After that, she dismounted and carried the horse forward in the wind and snow. She did not know how much she fell along the way. Falling down, but fortunately, she still delivered the combat report to the troop commander within the specified time. After completing the task, she didn't care about taking a break, and rode back on her horse to prepare to reply to her superiors. However, with the sudden changes in the weather, the high-intensity running horses such as climbing mountains and rivers can no longer hold up.Eventually he fell to the ground and foamed at the mouth and was exhausted. At this time, Guo Junqing was almost 4 kilometers away from the destination. She cried watching the exhausted war horse, but she quickly cheered up in order to complete the task. She untied 's heavy saddle , put her back on her body, and rushed to the camp as fast as she could with heavy strides.

Since it was in the early stage of the Liberation War, the main activity location of the Northeast Field Army was also in the extremely cold northeast. When the early spring is the coldest time in the area, but because of the marching needs of the troops, the soldiers We had to wade across the river in the severe cold. In order not to let the cold river water soak the cotton-padded clothes and take away the heat from the human body, the soldiers had to endure the cold and undress and cross the river, and then put on dry clothes on the other side of the river.
