Speaking of the 301 Hospital, old Beijingers must be familiar with it. Although as time passed, 301 Hospital changed its name to the Chinese People's Liberation Army General Hospital. But compared to this name, old Beijingers obviously prefer to call him "301".
The general name of the Chinese People's Liberation Army General Hospital is enough to prove the gold content of the 301 Hospital. Compared with another Union Hospital that is still famous in history, 301 Hospital seems more majestic and mysterious.
What is the history of this hospital? What secrets are hidden behind Hospital 301? What kind of strength is it that makes 301 Hospital so widely circulated?
301 The establishment of the hospital
dates back to the 1950s. When it came to the most advanced hospital in Beijing with medical technology, it was the hospital established in Beijing in 1921 with investment from the Rockefeller Foundation - Union Hospital.
At that time, Union Hospital was one of the most advanced hospitals in China. Whenever national leaders or foreign guests or important guests fall ill, the first thing they think of is Union Medical College Hospital.
However, with the continuous development of China's national power, more and more foreign guests come to Beijing. In addition, there are countless diseases accumulated by the older generation of generals during many years of resistance.
Therefore, the number of beds in Union Hospital began to seem insufficient at that time. In order to solve this problem, some people have proposed shortening the distance between hospital beds and transforming them into more hospital beds.
Some people say that Union Medical College Hospital can be expanded to increase the number of patients in Union Medical College Hospital. Everyone holds their own opinions, but there is still no way to find common ground while reserving differences and determine the final solution.
Under this situation, Premier Zhou gradually discovered new hidden dangers. That is because Union Hospital is too crowded and confusing. From government cadres to senior military officials, from foreign visitors to domestic celebrities, the entire Union Medical College Hospital was in chaos.
and chaos, it is easy for people with ulterior motives to seize the opportunity to gather information when military personnel and foreign personnel see a doctor.
Premier Zhou is famous for his rigor. Considering this problem, Premier Zhou had a new plan in mind, which was to establish a separate professional hospital managed by the military in Beijing.
The hospital's technical level must be high enough, its service attitude must be high enough, and its confidentiality capabilities must be high enough. At that time, Union Medical College Hospital will no longer be the best solution for military cadres to receive medical treatment.
The planned hospital would later become the famous but extremely mysterious "301 Hospital".
Of course, Beijing’s population density is extremely high, so it is not easy to build new buildings on a piece of vacant land. At the same time, hospital talent and location selection are also huge issues.
Therefore, Premier Zhou decided to include "301", which was converted from a school into a hospital, into his plan. And the management of the 301 Hospital was handed over to Hong Xuezhi, a founding general who was both civil and military and had been the logistics commander for a long time.
General Hong Xuezhi is wise and is the deputy minister of the country’s logistics department. He also has experience in logistics and medical care and has sufficient connections. Letting Hong Xuezhi take up this position in the future will solve many problems in terms of talent.
Why do you say this? Because what affects the quality of a hospital is not only the size of the hospital, but also the quantity and quality of famous doctors. Only in this way can we be convincing and willing to come here for medical treatment.
Hong Xuezhi
However, since he is a famous doctor, it is naturally difficult to recruit him. Putting aside his own wishes, even the original hospital itself may not necessarily release these talents to the 301 Hospital.
Sure enough, after General Hong Xuezhi took office, with just a few words he persuaded Union Hospital and many other hospitals to help 301 Hospital solve this problem.
At the same time, Hong Xuezhi also proposed to recruit outstanding graduates from four military medical universities.Leading the new with the old, so that graduates can be promoted quickly and return their abilities to their positions.
301 Hospital’s Strength
After the talent problem was solved, 301 Hospital became the first choice hospital for medical treatment by officials of the People’s Republic of China at that time. Marshal Ye Jianying and his younger brother Ye Daoying have all received treatment here.
In addition, Comrade Deng Xiaoping, General Luo Ruiqing and even Hong Xuezhi also received professional treatment here. Ye Daoying, the younger brother of Marshal Ye Jianying, was involved in a car accident in Guangzhou and his legs were almost amputated.
However, under the operation of Lu Shibi, an orthopedic surgery expert, doctoral supervisor at Nankai University, and academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, the originally serious legs were able to walk again under the treatment of artificial joint replacement surgery.
Luo Ruiqing also decided to come to 301 Hospital for treatment after hearing about Ye Daoying's incident. It's a pity that because West Germany at that time also extended an invitation to General Luo Ruiqing, Lu Shibi only inspected Luo Ruiqing.
Ye Daoying's brother, Marshal Ye Jianying, also underwent lengthy treatment in the 301 Hospital. In 1982, the elderly Marshal Ye Jianying felt unwell in his body.
So, he came to the 301 Hospital and was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease . This is a disease caused by the degeneration of the nervous system in the elderly, which causes patients to experience symptoms such as tremors at rest and muscle slowness.
At first, Marshal Ye Jianying's illness was not serious, and his walking was only slightly affected. However, with the recurrence of Marshal Ye Jianying's pneumonia in 1985, Parkinson's symptoms further worsened.
In this year, the central government issued three notifications in succession because of Marshal Ye Jianying's condition. Even the Great Hall of the People at the time had already begun to prepare for the worst case scenario.
However, what is unexpected is that despite such a serious illness, coupled with Marshal Ye's old body and many days of deterioration, 301 Hospital actually successfully rescued Marshal Ye Jianying!
Marshal Ye not only successfully survived this difficulty, he even got rid of the oxygen ventilator he had been using for a long time under the treatment of the 301 Hospital! The entire Great Hall of the People also held a celebration banquet specifically for medical staff.
Unfortunately, due to long-term medication and increasing age, it wasn't long before Marshal Ye Jianying was admitted to the 301 Hospital again due to physical problems.
After careful examination, urology expert Dr. Li Yantang concluded that in addition to the old heart and lung problems, there was also urinary alkali precipitation in Marshal Ye's bladder.
So, he proposed to perform "puncture fistula" surgery. This kind of surgery is not risky for young adults, but Marshal Ye is already old after all.
The risk factor of performing surgery on patients of this age is self-evident. After explaining the pros and cons, Marshal Ye Jianying's youngest son even wanted to give up the operation.
With the persuasion of Dr. Li Yantang, medical staff and Marshal Ye's daughter, the operation was carried out smoothly.
The operation was successfully completed, and Marshal Ye Jianying also celebrated his 90th birthday. Earlier, Comrade Deng Xiaoping also underwent extremely risky treatments for his illness.
301 Hospital: Witness of History
1 At the end of 1976, a special patient came to 301 Hospital. This patient was none other than Comrade Deng Xiaoping at that time.
It was Dr. Li Yantang who was responsible for the examination and treatment of Comrade Deng Xiaoping. In Li Yantang's memories, he saw that Comrade Deng Xiaoping at that time, although there was a trace of pain in his eyebrows, was still amiable when he met him.
After the examination, Dr. Li Yantang recommended Comrade Deng Xiaoping to perform surgery immediately. This operation was extremely cumbersome, and in 1976, before Comrade Deng Xiaoping came back from the hospital, his operation had to be kept secret.
This is about the strict confidentiality facilities of the 301 Hospital. The ward where Deng Xiaoping and Marshal Ye lived is located in the most mysterious " south building" of the 301 Hospital.
If the overall style of the "main building" is busy with work and crowded with people, then the south building is strictly guarded, quiet and comfortable. Because it is under the jurisdiction of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, the security guards in the South Tower are of extremely high quality.
Not only do you need a voucher for entry and exit, but in addition to the fixed guards at the door, there are also mobile sentries patrolling and inspecting in groups of three. Even medical staff who do not have treatment and nursing tasks cannot go to the south building.
In order to keep it confidential at that time, the 301 Hospital vacated the entire fifth floor of the south building for Comrade Deng Xiaoping's use only. Before the operation began, Comrade Deng Xiaoping gave great trust to the doctors at the 301 Hospital.
He not only comforted the medical staff, saying that if something happened, he would be solely responsible. He also showed amazing calmness while receiving anesthesia.
As we all know, although the patient will not feel pain during the operation period after anesthesia, there will still be strong pain after the anesthesia effect ends.
However, Comrade Deng Xiaoping refused the help of analgesics. In Comrade Deng Xiaoping's view, this kind of pain was a kind of test for himself.
On the third day after the operation, Comrade Deng Xiaoping could walk off the stage. When Li Yantang saw this, he couldn't help but admire Comrade Deng Xiaoping's self-discipline, which was extremely touching.
Battle of Huaihai"General Tornado"Han Xianchu, who frightened the Kuomintang army, was also admitted to the 301 Hospital due to illness.
On April 9, 1986, Han Xianchu was taken back to Beijing by the Central Military Commission using a transfer opportunity. After living at home in Beijing for a period of time, General Han Xianchu developed symptoms of vomiting blood on May 18.
This kind of blood accumulation in the body is very difficult to treat due to Han Xianchu's age, so experts recommend a traditional three-step treatment of "bleeding, hemostasis, and blood transfusion."
This kind of treatment can effectively prolong the patient's life. It is also the most stable treatment plan when General Han Xianchu's heart liver function is not good and his physical condition is poor.
Han Xianchu
However, this solution is extremely painful, and the torture of gastroscopy and gastric tube insertion is far beyond what most people can accept. In the memories of Han Xianchu's secretary Yao Kegui, Han Xianchu's torture and bitterness were recorded.
From May 18th to May 28th, in just 10 days, General Han Xianchu experienced such torture nine times. Each time, anesthetics are required to relieve discomfort during the bleeding process.
When Yao Kegui came to visit General Han Xianchu on May 28, his arms were swollen like a piece of steamed buns.
Han Xianchu wanted to eat an orange, but he couldn't swallow it due to physical reasons. He only filtered it with gauze and mineral water, and barely drank a little orange juice.
Han Xianchu and Yang Dezhi
301 The hospital has strong medical technology capabilities, but not all diseases can be cured. On October 3, Han Xianchu’s life came to an end.
301 Hospital is a hospital and a narrator of history. In addition to treating patients, he also recorded the experiences of a large number of revolutionary predecessors in their later years.
From Kang Shien to Li Xiannian, from Hong Xuezhi to Huang Kecheng. In this hospital, a large number of touching stories of revolutionary predecessors have been recorded.
In addition to the generals and leaders of the Communist Party of China, revolutionaries from the outside world and famous Chinese figures have also been admitted here.
For example, Ji Xianlin, a master of international oriental studies, vice president of Peking University, Buddhist, Chinese studies, history, and literature, has received treatment in the 301 Hospital.
He loves to raise cats and talk to people. During the time spent in the South Building, it seemed as if Ji Xianlin was just an ordinary patient, yearning for life and beauty.
The former Vice Chairman of Vietnam, Huang Van Huan, as one of the leaders of Vietnam, also had a lung tumor removed here. Huang Wenhuan fled from Vietnam to China for the sake of revolution.
He is a Chinese friend who firmly opposes Le Duan's destruction of Sino-Vietnamese friendship. He is also a staunch communist fighter and a lover of Chinese culture.
Ji Xianlin
After receiving the surgical treatment, Huang Wenhuan once gave a poem to the employees of 301 Hospital. Some people may ask, what kind of Chinese poetry can a Vietnamese write?
However, what few people know is that Huang Wenhuan is very good at Chinese, not only Mandarin, but also calligraphy and poetry.
After the operation on September 5, 1979, he praised the story of his treatment in the 301 Hospital as "I have been terminally ill for more than a year, and China was lucky enough to meet Hua Tuo." I gave strong support and praise to the doctors of 301 Hospital.
Today, 301 Hospital still stands on the streets of Beijing. A new outpatient building was built, and countless people came to seek medical treatment. The hospital, which was extremely mysterious at the time, has now become Beijing’s medical brand.
This historical chronicler has recorded the history of the past decades since its establishment; this Chinese People's Liberation Army General Hospital has written a splendid chapter of its own treatment of diseases and saving lives.
It is like the Beijing Hotel and the Union Hospital. It is an indelible mark in the history of Beijing. At the same time, with the development of the times and the advancement of medical standards, 301 Hospital has been forging ahead on the road of innovation.
The wave of the times is sweeping the world, pushing history forward. However, even if the waves are rolling, there are always rocks standing among them.
This is like a bright record in history, which despite being washed away by the tide, still stands in the long river of history. Now, this reef is the history recorded by the 301 Hospital.
