Recently, I have seen a lot of family searches**, and I feel uncomfortable for these children who are forced to leave home, and I hope that these parents can find their children as soon as possible. At the same time, in these search for relatives, I came into contact with the story of a special period, 3,000 orphans entered Inner Mongolia, which is a little-known national unity in a special period.
From 1959 to 1961, the newly established China was facing the greatest challenge from nature, and within three years, natural disasters such as drought, floods, and locust plagues swept across the country, and famine and hunger became the main colors at that time. The rapid deterioration of Sino-Soviet relations cut off China's road to the outside world at this time, and the disaster was made worse, and a large number of people were displaced and left their homes just for a bite to eat.
In this case, adults are facing a crisis of survival, not to mention children, so many parents have to ruthlessly put their children at the door of welfare homes in Shanghai and Jiangsu in order to let their children have something to eat, hoping that the country can give these poor children a bite to eat and survive.
In this way, orphanages and welfare homes in Shanghai and other places gathered a large number of orphans, who were generally yellow and thin, malnourished, and faced the problem of disease and death at any time. At that time, Comrade Kang Keqing, who was in charge of the national work on women and children, was deeply concerned about these children after he went to inspect them, and he couldn't sleep at night, and then he never thought of a very effective solution.
Until a meeting in Beijing, Kang Keqing met Kang Keqing, who was the chairman of the People's Republic of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region at the time, and thought that Inner Mongolia had a developed animal husbandry, so he discussed with him whether he could allocate a batch of milk powder from Inner Mongolia to supplement the nutrition of the children.
**After hearing this, he agreed without saying a word, and further proposed to bring these children to Inner Mongolia and be raised by the grassland people, so as to completely solve the problem of food, housing and support for the children. This proposal naturally solved Kang Keqing's troubles, and then Kang Keqing and *** further communicated with *** on this matter, and was recognized by ***, and kept admonishing: "Organize the work well and arrange the children well!."”
Since then, a cross-regional, cross-ethnic relay of love is in full swing, in order to better entertain these children from the Jiangnan region, the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region has set up nursery schools in various counties and banners, and mobilized families without children to adopt these orphans.
In the spring of 1960, 300 orphans from Shanghai stepped on the train to the north, the youngest of them was no more than a full moon, but they crossed most of China to Inner Mongolia, and then more than 3,000 orphans came to Inner Mongolia, where they spent most of their lives or even their lives.
Du Guima, a nursery worker from Siziwangqi, a little girl who was only 19 years old at the time, became the Eji of 28 children overnight, "one by one, one by one, and one by one." "This is Inner Mongolia's commitment to the country, and it is also Duguima's commitment to these children.
In order to take better care of these children, Duguima, an unresolved eldest girl, patiently took care of these children, and formulated detailed recipes according to the age of different children. Day after day, he took care of these children, slept with them, played games, risked being attacked by steppe wolves, and rode more than ten kilometers to find a doctor.
Under Du Guima's meticulous care, these 28 children thrived, and none of them died of hunger, disease, or premature death.
In the spring of 1961, after the children became familiar with the Xi of life and Xi diet on the grassland, the herdsmen who had already decided to adopt came to the nursery from all over the country on horse-drawn carts, rushing to adopt the orphans, bringing them home and taking care of them, so that after many years, it was impossible to find that the children came from the south without looking carefully.
The story of Duguima and the Siziwangqi Nursery is just a microcosm, and similar stories abound in this grassland in northern China. Three thousand orphans entered Inner Mongolia, and these Eji on the grassland gave these children warmth with their love, making their lives more fulfilling.
In the case of three years of natural disasters across the country, the life of these herdsmen on the grassland is not much better than that in other places, but in this situation of national disaster and national love, they have tightened their food and clothing, and tried their best to ensure that these southern children are fed and clothed, and give them enough care.
Today, the orphans of these countries are already in their prime, some of them have completely integrated into the grassland, become the children of the grassland, and some have stepped out of the grassland to become doctors, policemen, scholars, businessmen, and write a new chapter in their lives.
