On the clock in the office building of the old factory area of Huayao, the flying "peace dove" has become the "spokesperson" of Huayao. She tells the story of "Huayue" for more than 60 years The development story of "For Human Health" has witnessed the struggle of generations of Chinese medicine people. For Liu Yanlin and Pan Zhixian, both senior employees of Huayao, the "peace dove" also has different meanings in life.

The "Peace Dove" on the chest
"As soon as I arrived at Huayao and saw the 'Peace Dove' on the clock, I couldn't help but salute the 'Peace Dove'." Recalling the scene when he first arrived at Huayao in 1956, the 85-year-old Liu Yanlin was still excited, "The 'Peace Dove' is for world peace!"
In the drawer of Liu Yanlin's study, a "Peace Dove" medal brought the old man back to the war-torn era of the Korean War in 1953.
In early 1953, Liu Yanlin's art troupe received a notice to go to North Korea and crossed the Yalu River to rush to the front line. In order to adapt to the needs of dispersed performances on the battlefield, Liu Yanlin, in addition to playing the accordion professionally, also learned to perform Shandong Kuaishu, cross talk, single string, and drum... so that he could invite soldiers to perform together at any time.
During a performance, under his guidance, a young soldier who looked to be only 18 or 19 years old came over with a smile and said: "I will give you a Shandong Allegro." As he said that, he started tapping. The little warrior's lively performance made everyone clapped their hands, beat their legs, and laughed. More than ten days later, Liu Yanlin and the others heard that a beautiful attack was fought here and they blew up an enemy artillery position. They rushed back to celebrate their victory. Unexpectedly, this little soldier died in the battle. He stayed behind. I downloaded a blood-stained photo with the words: Xiaolong, I’m waiting for your triumphant return. Xiuxiu.
This made Liu Yanlin extremely sad. He wrote in his book "The Song That Never Ends": "Evil invaders, how many parents have you made lose their children, how many children have you become orphans, how many Xiuxiu have you separated from them in life and death! Blood debts must be repaid with blood! "
War is cruel. Just as Liu Yanlin was running on the battlefield to perform for the soldiers, the ruthless artillery fire from the front line deafened his ears, and he could only leave the battle in tears8 year troops. A commemorative medal engraved with "Peace Dove" to resist U.S. aggression and aid Korea and a certificate of revolutionary disabled soldiers have become witnesses of this period of history.
"How will we go on the long road of life ahead!" Liu Yanlin, who just turned 21, found the answer after experiencing the test of blood and fire in the Revolutionary War when he saw the "peace dove" flying upstairs at the North China Pharmaceutical Factory. ...

In March 1951, Pan Zhixian went to the Korean battlefield with his troops. The fifth battle was going on at that time. In the caves of North Korea, the volunteer soldiers lived on compressed biscuits and snow water. At this moment, the troops received the order to start the general attack after dinner. "After the rocket launcher fired, the enemy's position turned into a sea of fire." Recalling the battle that night, the old man seemed to have seen the scene of his comrades sacrificing their lives. "At that time, when we went there, we didn't think about coming back alive, we just thought about fighting the enemy to the end!"

Great Wall Network Reporter Zhang Rongpeng After returning to China, Pan Zhixian joined the Air Force, and later changed jobs and returned to Shijiazhuang due to physical reasons. The municipal government's re-employment committee suggested that he visit the North China Pharmaceutical Factory. The 'peace dove' on the factory building made him stop: "The 'peace dove' on the medal represents world peace. The 'peace dove' here is for producing good medicine, curing diseases and saving lives." ...."
"Peace Dove" at work
In April 1958, Pan Zhixian transferred to Huayao Streptomycin Workshop and worked successively as a sterilizer, batching worker, deputy director of the workshop, and chairman of the labor union, and was awarded the title of "Four Modernization Construction" twice Third class merit."As soon as I saw the commemorative medal, I remembered my fallen comrades. At that time, many comrades died due to lack of medical treatment and medicine. I had to charge into battle to produce good medicine."
, like Pan Zhixian, "charged into battle" at work, There is also Liu Yanlin who was also attracted by the "Peace Dove". In 1956, Liu Yanlin took off his military uniform and transferred to the preparation office of Huayao, and later worked in the packaging position in Workshop 105. The first batch of qualified products of Huayao passed through his hands four times when they rolled off the production line. "I was so happy that I couldn't sleep all night long and wrote my first prose, 'The baby is born, I want to tell you.'" Liu Yanlin still bursts into tears when he recalled the scene at that time. "My newborn baby, you difficult-to-deliver child, when you go through the process and arrive at the finished product inspection room, the workers pick you up and look at you... and their eyes are gradually filled with joy. Crystal tears..."
Perhaps it was the Korean battlefield that made Liu Yanlin understand the meaning of life better. He began to write life notes, study notes, and record stories that happened in the pharmaceutical factory. Since he couldn't hear, he used pen and paper to communicate with his colleagues. Having only attended elementary school for five years, he couldn't even write a complete sentence at first, but he persevered and wrote more than 4 million words in 20 years. He also completed the novels "The Mighty East Wind", "The Proud Spring Breeze" and "March Super" known as the "Trilogy of Chinese Medical Workers", recording the changes in the development of my country's pharmaceutical industry in a literary way.
Liu Yanlin loves writing.
He wrote in his memoir "Unfailing Affection": I don't know since when, I no longer regard writing as a dispensable hobby, but as my due social responsibility. This sense of responsibility and mission prompted me to be willing to ask for this hardship. Next to Liu Yanlin's "Long Live Peace" victory medal engraved with a dove of peace, he left this text: "These souvenirs that can bear witness to history always send out warnings: never forget the original intention, perseverance in faith, and the Chinese spirit, passed down from generation to generation. ”
“Peace Dove” flew into the next generation
Under the influence of his parents, “Peace Dove” also flew into two different families at the same time. In Pan Zhixian’s home, a photo is particularly eye-catching. In the photo, Mr. Pan is wearing the dark blue uniform with medals on it, and his son Pan Lijun and grandson Pan Jiabo stand on both sides.
Pan Zhixian and his descendants.
"My wife, son, daughter, daughter-in-law, and grandson are all Chinese medicine people. They all play their own roles in different positions." Pan Lao told the story of three generations of Chinese medicine people with his fingers. His son is an engineer, his daughter-in-law is an accountant, and his grandson is a salesperson... When Hua Yao encountered difficulties, Pan Lijun was approached by a high-paying company, but he was not tempted. He knew that his father wanted him to stick to the cause of medicine and work. Huayao's commitment to dedicating its life-long efforts.
Liu Yanlin also has a happy and happy Huayao family. His two daughters-in-law and one son are both from Huayao. In his opinion: when he thinks of Chinese medicine, he thinks of his relatives, colleagues and friends. He has only done one thing in his life - singing about Chinese medicine, singing about the motherland, and singing about the great new era!

Today, the "Peace Dove" engraved on the commemorative medal is still shining. It records the volunteer soldiers' "valiant crossing of the Yalu River" to serve the country; it records the patriotism of "We don't need anything, as long as the motherland knows me." .
70 years have passed. In October this year, seven elderly people from Huayao, including Liu Yanlin and Pan Zhixian, received commemorative medals for the "70th Anniversary of the Chinese People's Volunteers' overseas mission to resist U.S. aggression and aid Korea." Gently caressing the golden medallion. The "peace dove" flew through their lives, from the battlefield to the factory, from patriotism to struggle. I believe that their spirit will be passed down from generation to generation under the witness of the "peace dove"...
