Foreword

In China's revolutionary war, countless heroes sacrificed their lives on this arduous road.

Some meritorious officials saw the founding of New China, but they also suffered a lot of physical trauma. Many meritorious people were sick and worked hard for the development of New China.

At the same time, New China also built an ambulance to serve these heroes who sacrificed themselves for the country - the Chinese People's Liberation Army General Hospital, also called the 301 Hospital.

But unlike Union Hospital, although 301 Hospital is very famous, it is very low-key, so that many people know that there is such a hospital as famous as Union Hospital, but few know what the hospital's configuration is and what happened.

Today we will take a look at what kind of stories have happened in such a hospital with world-class medical standards, and what special patients it has received.

A mixed bag of good and bad, General Legislative Yuan

After the founding of New China, our party implemented the policy of "cleaning the house before inviting guests" and denied all the series of unequal treaties signed by the Manchu Qing government and the Nationalist government.

After China eliminated the remaining forces of the Kuomintang, the United States sent the Seventh Fleet into the Taiwan Strait in order to prevent the People's Liberation Army from attacking Taiwan, and assisted the Kuomintang with a large amount of military supplies and large sums of money.

Then the Korean War began. The volunteer troops of to resist U.S. aggression and aid Korea used their own flesh and blood to block the U.S. military from the 38th line and allowed the United States to sign an armistice agreement.

After this battle, China has become famous on the international stage, and more and more countries have established diplomatic relations with our country.

With so many foreigners coming to China, the state makes arrangements for their food, clothing, housing and transportation. But people who eat grains are safe and sound. When these foreigners come to China, they will inevitably feel uncomfortable.

Therefore, these foreigners, like many Chinese, went to the best hospital in Beijing at that time for treatment. This hospital is today's Union Medical College Hospital.

At that time, many generals who were seriously injured due to years of war would be arranged by the country to the Union Medical College Hospital for recuperation.

This caused Union Hospital, which was already very resource-constrained, to suddenly have a lot more patients.

Union Hospital can only reduce the distance between the original hospital beds and increase the number of available hospital beds, which also allows many foreigners to often meet our country's senior commanders and fighters while recuperating in the hospital.

By accident, Premier Zhou learned about this situation. He was very attentive and immediately realized the problem.

These foreigners often meet with China's senior generals. Wouldn't it be very convenient if they want to spy on China's military intelligence?

In order to solve this problem, Premier Zhou proposed to the central government to build a hospital specifically to serve military personnel.

As for the establishment of the hospital, the central government selected Hong Xuezhi, a general who had returned from the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, to be in charge.

Hong Xuezhi served as a member of the Red Army when he was young, and was responsible for logistics work during the Long March. "A bowl of mutton is exchanged for a logistics engineer" is the story of Hong Xuezhi asking Peng Dehuai for troops.

During the period of resisting U.S. aggression and aiding Korea, Hong Xuezhi participated in the battle against the U.S. military as deputy commander-in-chief and was fully responsible for logistics work.

He has made outstanding contributions to the logistics construction of the Chinese army. Therefore, the central government unanimously believed that General Hong Xuezhi was the most suitable for this hospital construction.

After receiving the task, Hong Xuezhi didn't understand, so he went to Peng Dehuai to ask.

Peng Dehuai is also very straightforward, making it clear that logistics work in the military is what he is most familiar with, and that logistics construction is indispensable in the military construction of New China, and everything is for the better development of the country.

In the end, Hong Xuezhi accepted the order, changed his mentality, and began to contribute wholeheartedly to the logistics construction of the motherland's army. Among them, the construction of the new hospital became a top priority.

Under the arrangement of Premier Zhou, Union Hospital was placed under the management of the Chinese Ministry of Health, and the newly built hospital was managed by the military.

The construction of the new hospital came with many twists and turns

At that time, China's best medical resources were basically located in Union Hospital.

Since a new high-level hospital is to be built, it is best for the new hospital to be based on departments within the Union Medical College Hospital, or medical departments related to the Union Medical College Hospital.

After screening, 301 Hospital was selected. This hospital is actually a hospital converted from a medical school in the North China Military Region. Because the code name of the college is 301, it is also called 301 Hospital.

This hospital has experienced the test of war. It was moved from Tianjin to Beijing in 1952 and was subsequently included in the Union Medical College Hospital and under the jurisdiction of the Union Medical College Hospital.

In this way, this small hospital was selected by the central government and officially named the "301st Hospital of the People's Liberation Army" in 1954. This was the predecessor of the General Hospital of the Chinese People's Liberation Army.

The hospital address already has a framework, but the two most important problems have not been solved, one is personnel and the other is equipment.

First of all, it was an equipment problem. At that time, China had just ended the war, and the country had little money. Better equipment was in major hospitals across the country. This was the treasure of each hospital, so how could it be given to other hospitals.

Despite this, 301 Hospital still received a lot of equipment from Union Medical College Hospital. Although Union Hospital was very reluctant to part with him, in order to complete the construction of the new hospital, he could only reluctantly give up.

In this way, two or three of the examination equipment of Union Medical College Hospital were used all day long. Now that one is taken away at once, all you can do is get a number and queue up for examination.

Of course, China also purchased some medical equipment and drugs from countries with good relations with the Soviet Union at that time. Although the quantity was not large, it also solved the equipment problem for the construction of new hospitals. After the equipment problem of

was solved, the personnel problem was not so easy to solve. The quality of a hospital is related to the professionalism and quantity of its medical staff.

A good doctor can solve the patient's pain. Even if there is no examination equipment, he can go to other hospitals for examination. After the examination is completed, he can return to this doctor for treatment.

Doctors are more important than equipment. Doctors with excellent medical skills are the foundation of a hospital.

As a lifelong warrior, Hong Xuezhi knows that a thousand troops are easy to obtain but a general is hard to find. In order to "require generals" for this new hospital, the general worked hard.

Initially, Hong Xuezhi decided to mobilize 80 doctors from Union Medical College Hospital to the 301 Hospital to lay the foundation for the new hospital’s medical resources.

But 301 is a newly built hospital after all, and Union Hospital is also the top hospital in China, so many doctors are unwilling to go there.

Union Medical College Hospital was reluctant to give up. It was already hemorrhaging a lot of money by transferring twenty or thirty doctors. However, Hospital 301 is so grand that it suddenly needs 80 doctors.

This number already constitutes most of the backbone of the entire Union Medical College Hospital. No hospital can bear the redeployment of so many. As a result, very few doctors reported to 301 Hospital.

Finally, under the negotiation of Hong Xuezhi, the top management of 301 Hospital expressed support and dispatched a vice president to 301 Hospital to help 301 Hospital establish a nursing school and made a lot of contributions to the development of 301 Hospital.

The hospital changed its name and flourished.

had personnel and foreign equipment gradually returned to China. 301 Hospital began to develop rapidly. Because many professionals participated in the training of new employees, 301 Hospital soon received many new talents.

With these foundations in mind, the entire hospital began to expand, and was eventually renamed the "People's Liberation Army General Hospital" in 1957.

Even so, many people still like to call this hospital 301 Hospital, and the code name 301 has been passed down.

China's industrial base was very weak at that time, and it would take a long time to build a modern hospital building. In order to put it into use as soon as possible, the construction project of the new hospital was carried out under the guidance of Soviet experts.

As we all know, the Soviet Union loves armor and bunkers very much.

During and during World War II, the Soviet Union relied on armored tanks to sweep across the European battlefields.

Even during the most critical period of World War II, the Soviet Union still relied on the bunkers in Moscow and Stalingrad to block the German attack. The combat characteristics of

are also perfectly reflected in the 301 Hospital. The entire 301 Hospital building presents a "concave" shape, with the office building in the middle and the wards on both sides. Medical, scientific research, testing and other rooms are placed in the corner room.

In this way, the number of patients can be greatly increased, and the patient can be evacuated as soon as possible in case of danger.

What best embodies the characteristics of the Soviet bunker is the underground of the 301 Hospital. In order to prevent patients from being injured by air and artillery, Soviet field hospitals were often built underground.

During the War of Liberation, the Kuomintang army was afraid of three things of the People's Liberation Army, one was propaganda, the other was digging holes, and the third was earthen weapons. The specialty of "digging holes" of our army was fully demonstrated in the underground of 301 Hospital.

Underground in the 301 Hospital, the roads leading to each ward are not very regular. The underground passages extend in all directions to accommodate as many patients as possible in a limited location.

Many people who come here to see a doctor need to ask the staff with the route map, otherwise they will get lost. The construction work of

was completed in a short period of time. The entire hospital was enough to accommodate nearly 800 beds. You must know that the Union Hospital at that time could only accommodate 700 beds.

The hardware of the hospital has been completed. In order to improve its software capabilities, 301 Hospital began to build the hospital against the first-class hospitals in the Soviet Union.

But Hospital 301 has never forgotten its original intention, which is to treat injured soldiers.

After 1953, the volunteers who were stranded in North Korea during the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea also returned to China in batches. The 301 Hospital received and treated many volunteer soldiers and became the "rescue hospital" for people's heroes.

With the recovery of the volunteers, the number of patients in the 301 Hospital has decreased a lot. Under the advice of the central government, the 301 Hospital has gradually expanded its civilian medical resources, and many civilians can also enter the 301 Hospital for treatment.

In order to prevent the problems of Union Hospital from recurring, 301 Hospital dispatched a team to conduct daily vigilance and inspection tasks on an inpatient building. This inpatient department is the famous "South Building".

If you want to enter the "South Building", no matter who you are, you must be inspected and treated equally.

However, many of the people who have stayed in the "South Building" have "special status." One of them lived in the "South Building", so the iron rule that he needed to be examined when entering the ward was "broken".

Special patient, admitted to the South Building

This patient is Deng Xiaoping. In the cold winter of 1976, Deng Xiaoping was admitted to the south building of the 301 Hospital.

At that time, Deng Xiaoping was in good spirits, but the root of his illness left during the battle in the Dabie Mountains still found this great man in his seventies in his later years.

After Deng Xiaoping moved into the South Building, the security system of the entire South Building was directly upgraded to a higher level.

In addition to the guards in the South Building itself, Ye Jianying also pulled out a reinforced platoon from his own security company, deployed them both inside and outside the South Building, and set up a large number of hidden sentries.

Deng Xiaoping lived on the 5th floor of the south building. The east gate was inspected twice by two groups of soldiers. Only those who passed it could enter the 5th floor. There were even guards at Deng Xiaoping's door.

As for the west door, it is locked directly from the inside. Even if the door is locked, there must be dedicated personnel standing guard.

As for the medical staff, specialized personnel were selected and all were sealed on the fifth floor and were not allowed to leave without authorization. Medical staff after get off work use special passages, and they also go to work.

After all the security work was in place, authoritative doctors from the 301 Hospital also came up with a treatment plan for Deng Xiaoping's treatment. The preparation plans for the risks of surgery were all detailed.

After Deng Xiaoping learned about it, he smiled and said to the doctor:

"It's okay. Now the medical treatment is so good, how can it be better than the Dabie Mountains! I was fine in the Dabie Mountains, let alone in my own hospital!"

The optimism of the great man greatly encouraged the medical staff, and the medical treatment methods became more reliable and efficient. After review by the central government, the decision to operate on Deng Xiaoping was approved.

In order not to affect his future work, Deng Xiaoping did not use general anesthesia for this operation. A 75-year-old man finally defeated the disease with his perseverance.

Three days after the operation, the old man got off the bed and participated in the construction and development of China.

After receiving the news that Deng Xiaoping was able to get out of bed, many revolutionary workers of the older generation wanted to see this old comrade. However, the hospital took into account Deng Xiaoping's rest and minimized the number of people visiting him.

Despite this, many people who visit Comrade Xiaoping need to wait for a long time because they need to go through several reviews.

On this day, a man wanted to visit Comrade Xiaoping, but he was stopped by soldiers, saying that he wanted to be censored, and that the visiting time for today was over.

The two sides were in a stalemate. When the person in charge of the security guard took a look, it turned out that Yu Qiuli was here.

As Deng Xiaoping's old comrades in arms for many years, the relationship between the two is very good, so the guards naturally cannot stop him. This is also one of the few "card breaking" behaviors in the South Tower.

In addition to Deng Xiaoping, Marshal Ye Jianying, who was in her eighties, also entered the 301 Hospital for treatment due to physical reasons.

Ye Shuai has neurological problems due to years of hard work. While undergoing treatment at the 301 Hospital, another disease struck the founding marshal. The disease that almost caused Ye Shuai to die this time was pneumonia .

Ye Shuai, who was nearly 90 years old at the time, was notified of critical illness three times by the 301 Hospital. However, after the full treatment of the 301 medical staff, Ye Shuai's treatment went very smoothly.

This treatment saved Ye Shuai’s life and was called a miracle in the history of medical treatment by the central government.

Unfortunately, this miraculous treatment did not allow Ye Shuai to spend his later years in peace. In 1986, Ye Shuai was hospitalized again because of kidney problems.

It was also this time that Ye Shuai left us forever and left the unfinished business that he had always cherished. General Hong Xuezhi, the founder of this hospital, also received treatment in the 301 Hospital due to physical reasons in his later years.

Another famous general as famous as Hong Xuezhi also lived in the south building of the 301 Hospital. This general was famous for his loud voice when he was in Yan'an.

also benefited from his loud voice, which allowed Yan'an to have sufficient food supplies. This general was General Wang Zhen.

As the "land-opening general" of the central government, General Wang Zhen's Production and Construction Corps in Xinjiang is still there today and has made significant contributions to the development and construction of Xinjiang. But because he has been working in Xinjiang for many years, his body has become ill.

In 1981, 73-year-old General Wang Zhen was diagnosed with tumors.

When he was young, he suffered from bronchitis in a difficult environment. Once the operation was performed, the effect of anesthesia on the nerves was likely to cause General Wang Zhen to stop breathing, which was a very serious matter.

After hearing the news, General Wang Zhen’s wife also trusted the doctor very much and allowed the doctor to make the final decision.

But the impatient General Wang Zhen did not recuperate in the hospital for too long. After undergoing necessary recuperation, he went back to work.

During the follow-up review, General Wang Zhen was diagnosed with tumor again, but this time he said he was unwilling to be admitted to the hospital for treatment again.

It wasn't until Deng Xiaoping came to the door in person and scolded this old comrade that General Wang Zhen decided to resign from his position and devote himself to hospital for treatment.

Under the full treatment of the 301 Hospital, General Wang Zhen's health has improved very much. After being discharged from the hospital, General Wang Zhen continued to contribute to the development of the party and the country.

Until 1993, General Wang Zhen passed away in Guangzhou at the age of 85.

An old revolutionary, he dedicated his life to the cause of the party and the country.

In addition to these outstanding generals, people such as the great writer Ji Xianlin, Li Xiannian, Wang Ganchang, etc. have also been treated in the 301 Hospital.

This "South Building" is not only an inpatient department, it has become a temporary resting place for these outstanding people, and it is also the place where many predecessors passed away.

Summary

The ancestors spent all their time working for the development and progress of China. Only when they were receiving treatment could they be forced to take a break. The south building of the

301 hospital records the hard work of every medical staff and also records the last days of many people who have contributed to the country.

With the development of the country, the construction of 301 Hospital has also closely followed the world's cutting-edge medical technology. It has made significant improvements in personnel, equipment, scientific research and other fields, and has become a "leader" in China's medical industry.

Many new medical technologies in China are now born in the 301 Hospital, helping more patients get rid of pain.

With the development of 301 Hospital, in addition to treating "special" patients, it is also open to the common people.

The 301 Hospital, which has lost its mysterious veil, like other hospitals, fulfills the responsibility of saving lives and healing the wounded.

When SARS was raging in 2003, Hospital 301 resolutely took up its responsibility and established a specialized medical team. While accepting a large number of SARS-infected patients, Hospital 301 also sent a large number of medical teams to other hospitals for support.

In this smokeless battle, the men in white are the most fearless warriors. Countless soldiers in white fell, ultimately protecting the safety of the people.

After decades of development, 301 Hospital has advanced in science and technology, but what has not changed is the kindness of doctors who save lives and heal the wounded.
