In July 1986, in a self-defense counterattack against Vietnam, a soldier who was blown up to death asked the female nurse who had been guarding him: "Which direction is Lanzhou?"
"Dead Kiss"
It turns out that his home is in Lanzhou. The female nurse pointed her finger to the northwest and told him that Lanzhou was there.
Before he died, he was eager to take a few more glances at his hometown. The female nurse and other soldiers turned his stretcher toward the northwest. The soldier whispered in a faint voice: "Mom and dad, the child can't go back and can't be filial to you, but I didn't shame you..."
Life is also not hesitated. But he was only 19 years old at the time. He had never been in love before. He didn't know what love is like, so he mustered up the courage to say to Zhang Ru, the nurse who took care of him: "Nurse sister, I know I will leave soon.
Zhang Ru suddenly burst into tears, and the young girl has never fallen in love. But in the face of the last wish of a soldier in a trench, what could she hesitate about? So she leaned down, hugged the soldier's body, and gently left a kiss on his forehead.
The soldier seemed to have touched what love should be. His last wish was fulfilled, and soon he died in the arms of the nurse Zhang Ru.
This touching scene was photographed by the war photographer Wang Hong,Named "Dead Kiss", the people in the story touched thousands of people.
And this little soldier was called Zhao Weijun, he was only 19 years old when he died.
At the age of 18, participated in the battle of Laoshan asked the nurse to hug before sacrifice
In order to protect the security of the motherland’s frontiers, many soldiers of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army died in the battle against Vietnam and died for the country. The famous two-mountain round battle ( Laoshan, Zheyinshan) took place during this period.
Zhao Weijun, a 19-year-old soldier in the tear-jerking "Dead Kiss", died heroically in this war.
Zhao Weijun, born in 1966, is a native of Yuzhong County, Lanzhou City, Gansu Province. He had a dream since he was a child, that is, when he grows up, he will be a soldier and defend his country.
In January 1985, the 18-year-old Zhao Weijun realized his dream and became a soldier. After entering the army, Zhao Weijun quickly joined the Communist Party of China and became an honorable party member.
After the end of the first wave of offensives on Laoshan and Zheyinshan, the army began to implement a rotation system, and each military region took turns to fight at the front line.
In April of the same year, the 47th Army of the Lanzhou Military Region, where Zhao Weijun was located, was ordered to enter the front line. At this time, Zhao Weijun was a deputy squad leader of the 421 regiment of the 141st Division of the 47th Army of the Lanzhou Military Region.
Zhao Weijun is responsible for the defense mission of Laoshan Maosongling.From then on, he would firmly guard this position every day and night, and he vowed that he would never let any inch of the motherland fall into the enemy's hands, and even if his body was broken and bones, he would guard every inch of the mountains and rivers.
The living conditions on the old mountain are particularly difficult, and sleeping and sleeping on the mountain is not the most difficult. The enemy keeps firing shells into the mountain. Zhao Weijun and the soldiers can only avoid enemy attacks on the low mountain. .
Especially at night, he and all the soldiers hardly dared to close their eyes, fearing that the enemy would attack Mao Songling while they were not paying attention, and just gritted their teeth and persisted for more than three months.
In just three months, the enemy would often carry out unexpected surprise attacks. Zhao Weijun and his soldiers repelled hundreds of enemy attacks, and even withstood tens of thousands of shells from the enemy.
In the arduous battle, I thought it was not far from the victory day after the enemy was beaten back. However, the accident happened.
One day in July 1986, the enemy continuously fired artillery shells at Maosongling Mountain as usual. Unexpectedly, at this moment, a shell fell beside Zhao Weijun who was on a mission. There was a landmine buried by the enemy before. As the shell fell, caused the mine to be instantly violent. The fragments of the mine penetrated into Zhao Weijun's body, and his life was in jeopardy.
In just a few minutes, the intense pain caused Zhao Weijun to faint. A wave of soldiers stayed and continued to guard the position. The remaining soldiers carried Zhao Weijun, who had fallen into a coma, to the rear.
The medical staff discovered that Zhao Weijun had fallen into a deep coma, and the doctors were shocked after seeing such severe injuries. 's entire body was full of shrapnel.How can people survive . But no matter what the result is, we must desperately save it.
Zhang Ru and several other nurses carried the seriously injured Zhao Weijun and ran all the way, finally sending Zhao Weijun to a place where he could undergo surgery.
Because it is a temporary battlefield hospital, there is a shortage of medicines and doctors, and the medical equipment in the treatment center is seriously inadequate. As Zhao Weijun’s leg injuries are serious and the risk of infection is also high, if the amputation is not carried out in time, it is likely to be life-threatening. has the dilemma of saving his life or keeping his legs. The field doctor amputees Zhao Weijun. Operation.
In this way, Zhao Weijun's fortunes are saved.
The loss of both legs had already dealt a big blow to Zhao Weijun, but he did not expect Death to stretch out his claws again. Because the conditions in the battlefield hospital were too backward, the medical staff found that the just amputation site was infected with suppuration again due to wound infection. Zhao Weijun had a high fever for several days and fell into a coma again.
In order to save the dying young soldier, female nurse Zhang Ru and other medical staff decided to send Zhao Weijun to a further rear hospital for rescue.
has not yet arrived at the next temporary hospital. Due to the severe bumps along the way, it is difficult for the seriously injured to survive. Zhao Weijun's condition suddenly deteriorated, and his consciousness became clear for a while and blurred for a while.
The comrades tried their best to drag him back from the hands of the god of death, but Zhao Weijun already felt that he was going to die. Zhao Weijun, who gradually recovered after being in a coma for several times, asked Zhang Ru, the nurse who had been guarding him these days: "Sister, where is Lanzhou?"
He has been away from home for a long time.I don’t know if the parents at home are okay. At the last moment of his life, what he is most worried about is the parents who gave birth to him, and it is even harder to let go of his homeland love.
Zhang Ru and other comrades aligned Zhao Weijun’s stretcher to the northwest. He was so weak that he could not sit up, so Zhang Ru and a few comrades helped him up and used his body to help Zhao Weijun When the backrest.
This time, he finally saw the direction of his hometown, facing the direction of Lanzhou, he weakly said: "Mom and dad, I may not be able to go back..."
Seeing Zhao Weijun who was completely collapsed, Zhang Ru worried that he could not support him, so he put him on a stretcher. At this time, Zhao Weijun, who had no blood on his face, murmured: "Sister, I am dying, but I don’t regret that I can sacrifice my life for the motherland. The only thing I regret is that I have not talked about it when I grow up. In love... Sister, can you give me a hug?"
He joined the army at the age of 18, and this is only a year, and he is about to say goodbye to the world. But for the sake of his motherland, he has no regrets or regrets. However, when he grows up, he still doesn't know what love is like. At the last moment of his life, he lay down his dignity, just to leave no regrets.
Like Zhao Weijun, Zhang Ru has never been in love. Seeing her faint comrades, she can no longer take care of that much. She held back the tears, lowered her head and hugged Zhao Weijun with her arms on Zhao Weijun’s forehead. There was a touching kiss on him.
This touching scene was captured by the war photographer Wang Hong at the time. Wang Hong named the photo "Dead Kiss".
Zhao Weijun’s mouth is smiling, a young soldier,He never woke up again.
Youth and love are such a wonderful thing for a person. If it were not for a merciless war, Zhao Weijun would have more opportunities to experience the beauty of the world, but in order to defend the motherland Peace, he rushed to the battlefield without hesitation.
This once alive life has died for the country!
Not long ago, he was still fighting on the battlefield, but now he is lying there motionless. After watching the sacrifice of his comrades, Zhang Ru could no longer contain the tears of grief and anger, and burst into tears.
Become a field nurse with revolution in mind
The female soldier who gave the last kiss to the martyr Zhao Weijun is Zhang Ru. She is from Jiangsu and was born in 1965.
Zhang Ru’s family members are not idle generations. Her grandfather is an old Red Army soldier who has made a lot of contributions in the army. Her parents are both aviation researchers and national high-tech talents.
When Zhang Ru was very young, her grandfather would often tell her revolutionary stories during the war. Gradually, Zhang Ru was inspired and determined to be a defender of the country when he grew up. Warrior.
In 1983, 18-year-old Zhang Ru joined the army and finally realized her childhood dream. When she was so excited when she put on the military uniform, she could finally wear like her grandfather. Put on the uniform she dreams of and become a qualified soldier.
After the Battle of Laoshan, Zhang Ru rushed to the front line with the troops to take on the important task of treating the wounded.
Although Zhang Ru participated in the war for the first time, she was not afraid, but with superb medical care level, like a patron saint, guarding the safety of every soldier in front of her.
Although the temporary rescue hospital is at the rear, it is still full of dangers. As soon as the soldier in the front is injured, the medical staff at the rear need to cross a line to carry the wounded to the rear. The mountain is different from the flat ground, which is very rugged and difficult to walk. The medical staff carried the wounded on a stretcher and had to walk under the enemy's shells. Sometimes accidentally, they would be hit by the shells.
But from the moment she put on the military uniform, she left everything behind. In order to protect the security of the country's frontiers, she went all out. The soldiers on the front line could do their best. As the support force behind them, what reason do they have to retreat and why not desperately treat the wounded?
When Zhang Ru participated in the rescue work, he was not afraid of life and death, overcome many difficulties, and gave the most meticulous and serious care to every wounded.
On the battlefield of Laoshan, Zhang Ru saw too many life and death, and the most memorable and unforgettable thing for her was the time when she rescued Zhao Weijun.
At that time, Zhao Weijun's body was covered with fragments of landmines, and his legs were severely injured. After arriving at the hospital at the rear, Zhang Ru did his best to bandage his wounds, and he also kindly called her sister.
After being injured, Zhao Weijun not only was not decadent, but also actively cooperated with the medical staff. His sunshine and upwards infected everyone. Everyone hoped that he could survive. However, because the injury was too serious, it could not be recovered. His young life.
Zhang Ru feels very sorry, if he can be rescued, that would be great.
As a field medical staff, during the war, she fulfilled her mission and fulfilled the arduous and glorious task assigned to her by the motherland and the party. The fighters Zhang Ru rescued were: first-class combat hero Xu Liang , "Demining King" Luo Muyuan, first-class hero Zhao Weijun!
What happened to the female nurse Zhang Ru in the photo "Dead Kiss"
After the two mountain rounds are over,Zhang Ru returned from the battlefield to a normal life. After she retired, she transferred to Northwestern Polytechnical University to work, but the memory of war lingered forever, and she could never forget the faces of those comrades who disappeared.
Because he used to be comrades in the same trench and fought bloody battles together on the front line. Although the sacrificed comrades could not return to their hometown, Zhang Ru wanted to sacrifice his comrades’ hometown and visit the families of the martyrs.
In 2011, many years have passed since that war, but she still thinks about what she should do for them to "extend" the lives of her comrades. In her spare time at work, she collects information on the martyrs, and when the collection is almost the same, she wants to put it into practice.
Seeking for the families of martyrs to continue the revolutionary spirit
In 2011, Zhang Ru and other comrades in arms jointly launched a "mission journey" .
29 years after Zhao Weijun's sacrifice, on May 1, 2015, Zhang Ru came to the place where Zhao Weijun's bones were buried to pay tribute to this comrade-in-arms who died on the battlefield. The scenes before his death still appeared in front of her.
Speaking of her comrade-in-arms, for many years, even many times, she sighed for him. Zhao Weijun was only 19 years old when he died. If he were alive, he would be 49 years old, he would be middle-aged. Good years, with a wife and daughter by her side, she might have carried her grandson... Thinking about it, she couldn't help but shed tears.
Zhang Ru in front of the tomb of the martyr Zhao Weijun
Zhang Ru and other comrades came to the Xinglongshan Martyrs Cemetery in Yuzhong County, Gansu Province. The tombstone of the martyr Zhao Weijun stood there quietly and came to the tombstone of Zhao Weijun Before that, Zhang Ru put on a bunch of flowers to express her deepest respect for the sacrificed comrades.
Seeing the words "Tomb of the Martyrs Zhao Weijun" are engraved on the tombstone,Zhang Ru suddenly burst into tears, 29 years have passed in a blink of an eye, and new grass has grown from the bare ground in front of Zhao Weijun’s tomb. You died for your country, and then you became a martyr. We have never forgotten you. If you can survive, I will always hold you, give you warmth, and give you the strength to continue living..."
Zhang Ru stroked Zhao Weijun's tombstone, already crying. At that moment, it seemed that any language was pale, because the comradeship was the most priceless, but it was a pity that the ruthless war took his young life.
Zhang Ru said in an interview with the media that : "These sacrificed martyrs were relatively young when they joined the army. Therefore, 80% of the soldiers have no descendants and children, and our children are theirs. For future generations, my comrades and I will sweep the graves of sacrificed comrades every year. In this way, we can comfort their heroic souls and make them no longer alone in another world."
After Zhao Weijun's family, Zhang Ru and other comrades in arms continued to embark on the path of searching.
In 5 years, Zhang Ru and other comrades in arms overcame numerous difficulties, traveled thousands of kilometers, visited 32 counties and cities in 9 provinces, and visited and condoned the relatives of 43 martyrs.
Under Zhang Ru's leadership, more and more people have consciously joined Zhang Ru's team. Their activities have also become a nationwide caring for the relatives of martyrs.
Many relatives of the martyrs have never had the opportunity to worship their relatives in the martyrs’ cemetery because they have no money at home, or because they are too old to be far away. The family members received the martyrs cemetery to pay homage to their loved ones.
When visiting the families of many martyrs,Shocked the soul of this female warrior again and again.
In addition to Zhao Weijun who made her unforgettable, another thing that impressed her was that after an old mother of a martyr heard that her son had passed away, she not only cried and went blind, but also because of poverty, she never walked out of her life. Dashan, went to the martyrs cemetery where his son was buried.
Zhang Ru knew that his heart was twisted, so he personally moved the martyr’s mother and family to the martyr’s cemetery. Only then did they realize a dream they had for decades. Donated money to the families of the martyrs.
Zhang Ru used her actions to commemorate the dead comrades in arms. Although she was busy with the work at hand, she never stopped caring for the families of the martyrs. She was willing to use more energy and continue to pay attention to those sacrifices. The family members of the comrades-in-arms of China have done their best to comfort the martyrs who are sleeping underground.
Zhang Ru nowadays has passed half of her life. Although Fanghua is no longer there, the kiss she left to soldiers on the battlefield touched countless people.
Later, someone asked Zhang Ru: If you do it again, will you still choose to be a soldier?
Zhang Ru said: If I can choose again, I will choose to join the army without hesitation. My feelings of being a soldier are carved into my bones.
"Fanghua" stills
The youth of the young fighters is no longer, the heroic souls of the martyrs who died for the country will always sleep in the place where they fought, and their spirit will never disappear , Their deeds have been deeply embedded in everyone's heart, just like the classic line in "Fanghua": "The beauty of a generation has long been carved with the mark of the times and has become an eternal memory."
