In 2004, a 77-year-old American veteran flew to Yunnan by special plane and knelt to a 92-year-old lady

Every success of

is accompanied by the interweaving of blood and tears. Modern China can be said to have been the most difficult and difficult period. There was imperialist aggression outside and the decay of the feudal system inside, leaving China in dire straits. However, because of the unyielding spirit of the Chinese nation for thousands of years, the Chinese people have resisted foreign invasions and become the only country in the world that has five thousand years of uninterrupted races. During this period, there have also been many touching stories of Chinese people who are not afraid of hardships and hardships, so that we are worth learning.

A 77-year-old American veteran who experienced World War II and witnessed the blood of the war. His greatest wish in this life is to see the angel in white who defy the flames of war, regardless of nationality, and take care of him with all his heart in his lifetime. She asked people to inquire about her many times, disappointed again and again, and rekindled hopes again and again. Finally, the American veteran flew to Yunnan, China by special plane in 2004. With the help of relevant personnel, she found the Chinese angel in white who had rescued him. , Huang Huan laughed. Both are elderly people over half a hundred years old, but as soon as they met, the American veteran suddenly knelt to her on one knee and shouted excitedly: Wonderful women, in order to express his high respect and gratitude to the old lady. What is going on? What is the secret story between the two?

Huang Huanxiao was born in 1912. Her father and mother are both businessmen and her family is relatively wealthy. She has been reading and writing since she was a child. When Huang Huanxiao was four years old, their family moved to Macau because of his father's business relationship.

In 1920, Huang Huanxiao, who was only 8 years old, was sent to aristocratic school by her parents to study. During her study, she was also very hardworking and serious. Her parents' thinking is still relatively traditional, and she thinks it would be good if a girl can learn a few words at home, and she doesn't need to work hard outside. When Huang Huanxiao was 14 years old, her parents planned to arrange a marriage for her in accordance with local customs and habits, and wanted Huang Huanxiao to care for her husband and children at home. The man’s family was also very rich, and he was a famous family in Macau at that time. However, Huang Huanxiao is naturally stubborn, and she despises the old society in her heart. She refuses her parents to arrange marriage. After learning that she was going to marry a man she didn’t know,She quarreled with her family and even said, "If she is forced to marry, she will sever ties with the family and stop contacting her." Finally, with Huang Huanxiao's insistence, her family chose to compromise, not allowing her to marry, and allowing her to continue studying.

In 1928, China was already in dire straits. There were wars everywhere. Basically, people were injured and killed every day. Huang Huanxiao intends to learn medical knowledge and wants to save the wounded. In the end, under her unremitting efforts, after graduating from high school, with her excellent grades and love for the nursing profession, she was successfully admitted to the nursing school of the famous Hong Kong Queen Mary Hospital at that time. After successfully admitted, Huang Huan laughed the slightest bit. Don't relax, she knows that her abilities are inadequate. When others play together, she earnestly learns professional knowledge in the nursing school, and repeatedly practices how to save people and dress up wounds in the laboratory.

After graduation, she was hired as a member of the "Royal Nurses Association" and successfully became a nurse in the hospital. In December 1941, after the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, the Japanese army immediately launched an attack on Hong Kong. Suddenly, the Hong Kong area was very chaotic. Although Huang Huanxiao tried his best to treat the injured patients in the hospital, his abilities were limited after all, and many civilians lost their lives in vain.

Soon the Kowloon Hospital where Huang Huanxiao was in was invaded by the Japanese army. The Japanese army was cruel and ruthless. They were tyrannical in Hong Kong, burned, killed, looted, and did all the bad things. They even directly killed the people and staff who did not obey the arrangements. The earth is the law.

Huang Huanxiao's colleague Chen Xianyu at Queen Mary Hospital suggested that she go to the mainland to participate in battlefield medical care. In order to save more people, Huang Huanxiao began to try to leave Hong Kong. In 1942, after several tossings, under the escort of his father, Huang Huanxiao successfully arrived in Chongqing, the mainland, and successfully joined the Tongmenghui organization.

At the beginning, Huang Huanxiao went wherever needed. After hearing colleagues from the previous hospital said that the Southern American Military Hospital was in urgent need of nurses, she rushed to the south to participate in the rescue.First, she stayed at in Guilin for a while, and when medical staff came to take over, she went to Kunming and arrived at the Yunnanyi hospital.

In 1941, China and the United States both declared war on Japan and started cooperation. The United States established a volunteer air force to support China to transport materials to support the Chinese military in the war. Everyone knows that supplies are very important in wars. In order to transport military supplies to the Chinese battlefield, the United States deliberately opened up a route from Assam in eastern India to Kunming. Both the enemy and I know the importance of materials to the war. At that time, the intensity of the war on the hump route was not less than that of the frontal scene.

A hospital in Yunnan located on the hump route has become an important place for the treatment of the injured. There are 20 to 30 medical staff in the hospital, but all of them are American male military doctors, not a single female medical staff. Before Huang Huanxiao came to this hospital, there were one or two female nurses in the hospital, but because the environment was too difficult and too close to the battlefield, explosions could occur anytime and anywhere. They chose to leave after receiving a group of wounded. When Huang Huanxiao came to this hospital, it was very convenient to communicate with US military personnel because he studied better and was proficient in English. Huang Huanxiao tried her best to treat their illness and deal with other things quickly. She truly achieved medical skills without borders, caring for the US military pilots without any distractions, and she never left since she came.

Because the hump route has a relatively long journey, and the terrain is relatively steep, there are heavy mountains and ridges, and deep canyons, and there are undulating peaks that are like camel-like ridges. The famous Himalayas , Gaoligong Mountains, Hengduan Mountains, etc., rivers are also particularly numerous such as Brahmaputra River, Enmeikai River, Jinsha River and so on. Because of the dangerous terrain and complicated climate experienced by this route, the "Hump Route" is known as the tragic air transport with the longest duration, the most difficult conditions, and the most costly air transport in the history of the world war.

During the Anti-Japanese War, the sacrifice of the hump route was very heroic. Huang Huanxiao recalled that at the beginning of the route, because the Chinese and American pilots did not know the flight altitude and did not understand the geographical conditions, the plane fell off as soon as it took off. Some pilots were lucky enough to get their lives back, and some pilots had no bones left. . Later, after everyone knew the route, they were invaded, chased and intercepted by the enemy. Almost every day, transport aircraft and fighter pilots were injured and sent to frontline hospitals for treatment. After simple emergency bandaging and rescue, they were sent to others. Go to the hospital for treatment.

At that time, China and the United States really suffered heavy losses. Due to the lack of advanced technology, our military had only 100 transport aircraft. However, nearly half of the aircraft were lost in the hump route, and there were as many as 148 deaths. . The US military lost more than 1,500 aircraft, sacrificed nearly 3,000 outstanding pilots, and the loss rate exceeded 80%. If it weren't for people like Huang Huanxiao who were on the front line to rescue anyone who might be alive, then more people would have died.

She was the only Chinese female nurse at the time. Her job was mainly to clean the wounds of the wounded, avoid wound infection, and perform simple dressing work, infusions, etc. to relieve the wounds’ pain. Because the pilots are sometimes bombed by the enemy during the flight, some people are blown to blood, leaving only a breath, but Huang Huanxiao is unwilling to give up, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, she will not give up. She cut his clothes with scissors, cleaned and bandaged the wounds; some fractured and could not turn over. She massaged him so that the wounded would not have bedsores.

At that time, there was no concept of commuting at all, and I worked almost 24 hours a day. Although the Yunnanyi Battlefield Hospital of the 14th Air Force of the United States Air Force in China only had Huang Huan laughed at a girl and was the hospital closest to the front line, she was not afraid at all, because whenever she watched the people she treated survived , She felt very happy and satisfied. Although every day is busy and dim and sometimes exhausted, Huang Huanxiao always smiled sincerely to the wounded.Encourage them to be strong and courageous, believing that the suffering will always pass, and as long as we persist, we will surely usher in a bright future.

During the treatment, Huang Huanxiao learned that they come from different continents and have different professions. Together, they imagined their bright future after the war. Once, a wounded soldier had a leg sawn off. Huang Huanxiao couldn’t help crying sadly every time he gave him an injection, but the injured soldier comforted her by saying that his leg didn’t have any. In vain, 3 Japanese aircraft were shot down. When the war is over, he will return to the United States to be a disabled violinist, and as he speaks, he will play a beautiful violin, adding the most beautiful sound to a war where there is only gunfire. In this way, they comforted each other, grew up together, and spent the most tormented but unforgettable life together.

Later Huang Huanxiao was still unmarried at the age of 30 due to busy work. The enthusiastic dean, Mr. Bush, brought together the young and handsome vice dean Gao Shengdao and Huang Huanxiao in the hospital. After getting along, the two chose to get married, and finally became the husband who had known and loved her for 59 years.

After the war, Huang Huanxiao did not return to Hong Kong, but stayed in Kunming with her husband and lived peacefully for 60 years. It can be said that Huang Huanxiao’s life can be said to be difficult, legendary, and ordinary. Great again. She, together with the pilots of the American Flying Tigers and colleagues from the US military hospital, used their flesh and blood to compose a touching legend on the land of Yunnan. This period of history, whether in the past half a century or in the future, has been and will always be a symbol of the friendship between the peoples of China and the United States. We sincerely thank these lovely people for their dedication and sacrifice for our better life. Thank you, it's nice to have you.
