In the early morning, on the North China Plain, a medical detachment of a certain unit of the People's Liberation Army (PLA) marched forward in colorful clothes, and the loud singing of "people's fighters love the people everywhere" accompanied by neat steps, making this contingent look particularly spiritual.
At the forefront of the team was Comrade Tong Weimin, the head of the medical team. Their young medical team was born in the triumphant song of the proletariat, the oldest of whom was only twenty-eight years old. They are praised as newborn calves on the health front.
A year ago, with profound proletarian feelings, they carried forward the revolutionary spirit of daring to think, dare to do, and dare to practice, and used acupuncture to cure the mother of their comrade-in-arms, Zhang Damiang, who had been blind for many years. Today, in order to let more blind people regain their sight, they have marched to the No. 1 School for the Blind in accordance with the instructions of the Party Committee.
The First School for the Blind was founded in 1958. Under the kind care of the party and ***, the blind children happily read and Xi and lived a happy life.
Teacher Zhang Xia, the leader of the blind school, suffered from the capitalists in the old society. She often educates blind children with her own tragic experience: turn over and remember the class suffering, and never forget happiness
Blind children are blind and have a clear heart, and they love it wholeheartedly Although they read by touching their hands and writing by awls, they study hard, read hard, and learn Xi socialist cultural lessons.
August 18, 1966, is a day that blind children will never forget. On this day, when the Red Guards were inspected, the leaders placed them at the front.
However, at this happiest moment, they couldn't see the blind children so anxious that tears couldn't stop flowing down.
Blind children have eyes that cannot see the glorious image of the world, and they cannot better participate in socialist construction if they have hands. How they longed for their eye disease to be cured!However, due to the interference of the revisionist health line, they ran to many large hospitals and did not get a good **.
Today, the wish of a blind child for many years has finally come true!**Send relatives to the People's Liberation Army, how can they not be excited!The blind children were elated, beating gongs and drums, and welcoming the PLA medical team.
Captain Tong excitedly said to the teachers and students of the blind school: "* sent us to cure the blind!."Suddenly, the blind school boiled. "Hooray!Hooray!The cheers resounded over the blind school.
Teacher Zhang Xia held Captain Tong's hand and said with tears in her eyes: "* Sending you to treat blindness is the greatest care of his old man for our blind people, thank you so much!."”
Blind children Han Chunsheng and Sun Xiaoling were so happy that they couldn't sleep all night when they heard that the People's Liberation Army had come to the school to cure their blindness. They jumped and jumped, holding the hands of the PLA uncle, and kept asking this and that.
The comrades of the medical team put down their backpacks and went to the teachers and students to have a cordial conversation with them and learn about the situation of the blind children being treated for diseases.
Blind children who have not seen the light for a long time hope to regain their sight as soon as possible!A blind boy said to a comrade in the medical team: "Uncle, I haven't been able to see for ten years, if I can't be cured, just let me see a little light and throw away the road stick in my hand!"”
Han Chunsheng, a blind boy, said: "Uncle, how I hope to cure my eyes, and in the future, I will respond to the call of *** and go to the countryside to receive re-education from the poor and middle peasants!"”
The blind child's eagerness to regain his sight touched and inspired the comrades of the medical team. They want to see the light of sight for blind children. They reasonably arranged the time for blind children to attend classes and **, carefully checked the symptoms of each blind child, and began to carefully ** for different eye diseases.
One day, when the hygienist Xiao Zhao gave Sun Xiaoling a needle, he touched a small blood vessel, and a little blood came out of his eye.
When Xiao Zhao was getting the needle, someone behind him suddenly said loudly: "Amazing, why is it bleeding!."Xiao Zhao looked back and saw that it was Guo Qianfu, the school doctor for the blind.
Captain Tong came over and explained: "Doctor Guo, you have forgotten that the blood vessels in the eye area are fine, and bleeding from needles is a common occurrence. When Guo Qianfu heard this, he smiled and said, "Ah!."Yes, yes, yes!Come with me and put a hot hand towel on it!”
Guo Qianfu led Xiaoling to his dormitory, gave her a look and said: "I have forgotten more than they know when I am a doctor, and I have never heard that needles can cure eyes." It's been almost a month, how many can be seen?Bleeding is said to be a common phenomenon, and it really treats children as inappropriate. ”
These words made the naïve and naïve Xiaoling hesitate. The next day, she was reluctant to get a needle. At the same time, the blind children, who have always actively cooperated with the needles, are not so enthusiastic. Strange to say, even the singing and laughter of the blind children are rarer than before.
The medical team was anxious about these situations, and they split up to talk to the blind children. A blind boy asked Captain Tong uneasily: "Uncle, I heard that the eye points are connected to the heart, and there is a danger to life if there is more bleeding from the needle, is it true?"”
The blind boy's questioning caught Captain Tong's attention. He didn't think it was coming from the mouth of a blind boy. However, after asking several blind children, he could not find anyone who took the lead in spreading the word. He pondered suspiciously.
In the afternoon of the next day, Captain Tong visited the parents of blind children, and just after entering the street, he saw a person walking out of Han Chunsheng's house with his head down.
The man approached, and Captain Tong recognized it as Guo Qianfu. When Guo Qianfu saw Captain Tong, he hurriedly greeted him and said, "I heard that the children are afraid of needles, and I am also very anxious, so I will take the time to do the work today." Captain Tong thought for a while and said, "Doctor Guo, you are very concerned about blind children!."”
Guo Qianfu replied unnaturally: "* It's still far from the People's Liberation Army!."Captain Tong asked again: "Doctor Guo, which ones have you visited?"Guo Qianfu paused and stammered: "I... I only visited Zhang Yun's house
In the evening, Captain Tong was thinking about the problem of encountering Guo Qianfu in the afternoon, and Teacher Zhang Xia came. She said, "I'll look at you for a situation." Then she talked about some of the irregularities she had been feeling lately.
Doctor Guo has a complicated history, and since he arrived at the school for the blind, he rarely even enters the door of the dormitory for blind children. In May of the year before last, one day the blind boy Zhang Yu had a high fever, I asked him to go and see, he said that today is Sunday, not the time to see a doctor...
But since you came, I heard that he used to go around the blind children's dormitory, talking to this and that, as if he had changed as a different person.
As far as I know, all the blind children he has come into contact with a lot, who used to be more active in treating blindness, are now less enthusiastic about treating blindness. I think he suddenly 'cares' about blind children, maybe there is some purpose. ”
Captain Tong said: "I also have some doubts. This afternoon, I saw him come out of Han Chunsheng's house with my own eyes, but he said he didn't go. I think there must be an article in this. ”
While they were talking, a blind boy pushed the door in and handed Teacher Zhang Xia a note. Teacher Zhang Xia touched it and handed it to Captain Tong and said, "This is a leave note written by Han Chunsheng." Captain Tong thought to himself, Chunsheng was still fine at school this morning, why did Guo Qianfu suddenly fall ill as soon as he went in the afternoon?
This series of problems attracted the attention of Captain Tong and Teacher Zhang Xia to Guo Qianfu. They repeatedly studied Xi report at the Second Plenary Session of the Seventh Central Committee, realized that there was also a class struggle in the fight against illiteracy, and decided to immediately report to the party branch and the revolutionary committee of the school to study countermeasures.
The party branch and the Revolutionary Committee decided to further investigate Guo Qianfu's history and trace the origin of the rumorsOn the one hand, we should carry out in-depth education on class struggle and line struggle for blind children to enhance their ability to discern them. In the Xi class, Teacher Zhang Xia used her own history of blood and tears to indict the evil old society.
Before liberation, my family was very poor, and my father and brother were killed by the old society very early. My mother and I were starving and digging wild vegetables to get by.
When I was seven years old, I suffered from an eye disease, and I cried all day long. At that time, the poor couldn't even eat enough, and they had money to treat the diseaseMom was so anxious that she didn't know what to do.
Later, I heard that there was a hospital in the city that was run by foreigners to treat eye diseases. Mom gritted her teeth, borrowed a loan shark, and sent me to **.
However, in the old society, the lives of our poor were not as good as a single piece of grass. A bourgeois doctor who carried out experiments in order to provide for his American master, not only did not treat me, but brutally gouged out my eyes and crippled me for life.
My mother was also blind from crying. Our days are even harder. With this stick in my hand, I led my hateful mother to beg down the street. Later, mom she...
Teacher Zhang wiped his tears and said, the blind children listened with tears, and Teacher Zhang Xia was the only one who had such a tragic experience in the old society. The blind children kept chanting: "Down with imperialism!".Down with the evil old society!”
After liberation, the party and the people trained me to be a blind teacher, put a false eye on me, and now let me do leadership work. Gone are the lives of our blind people who live and die without asking whether they live or die!Students, can we be blind today without ***?”
Teacher Zhang Xia said earnestly: "Let's think about it again, a few years ago, under the interference of the revisionist medical and health line, the eye diseases of our blind people still cannot be treated. Today, **send our relatives to the People's Liberation Army**, we should actively cooperate!”
The bittersweet memories have raised the class consciousness of many blind children. Blind children who do not attend school are returning to school**. Sun Xiaoling also revealed to the medical team some of the information that Guo Qianfu told them.
In order to reduce the suffering of blind children and improve the curative effect, the comrades of the medical team repeatedly tried to prick themselves and look for acupuncture points. They would rather try a thousand stitches on themselves than make a mistake on a blind child.
There is an acupuncture point that is the main acupoint of ** eye disease, but in the past, acupuncture books stipulated that only three to five points could be pierced. Practice has proved that piercing to this depth does not yield good results. What is the reason for this?The medical team had a serious discussion.
Xiao Zhao, the hygienist, put forward the suggestion of piercing this acupuncture point deeply. He said: "The experience in the book is also summed up by predecessors based on their own practice, and it is not fixed. If we want to relieve the suffering of our class brothers, we must use our own practice to develop the experience of our predecessors, and we must not be stumped by these three to five points!”
After careful analysis and research, everyone agreed with Xiao Zhao's opinion. It is unanimously agreed that deep pricking of this acupuncture point can strengthen the needle sensation and promote the restoration of visual function without damaging the optic nerve. So they decided to go deeper, and they put in place security measures.
Stick it on me first!Stick it on me first!"The comrades of the medical team are vying to try it on themselves. Captain Tong said loudly: "Don't fight!."He picked up the needle and asked Xiao Zhao to prick it on himself.
Xiao Zhao took the needle and felt that this small silver needle weighed a thousand catties. He carefully and accurately began the trial puncture on the acupuncture points on Captain Tong's body.
When he pierced to a certain depth, Captain Tong shook a little. Will it be dangerous to prick further deeply, Xiao Zhao stopped the needle insertion worriedly. "Za!Pierce it boldly!Blind, blind me, crippled, crippled, crippled, not into the tiger's den, how can I catch the tiger. ·· Captain Tong encouraged Xiao Zhao to continue to go deeper.
The silver needle continued to go deeper, and beads of sweat the size of beans oozed from Captain Tong's head. Xiao Zhao wanted to pull out the needle, but Captain Tong said firmly: "There is no strong inductance yet, continue to pierce deeply!."”
At this time, a middle-aged woman standing outside the window suddenly pushed the door in, stopped Xiao Zhao, and said distressedly: "Captain, you have put your lives on the line for your children, you have to take care of yourself1" This sister-in-law turned out to be Han Chunsheng's mother. She'd been looking out the window for a long time.
Captain Tong hurriedly helped Chunsheng's mother sit down and said kindly: "Sister-in-law, in order to let the children regain their sight as soon as possible, it is okay for us to hurt a little." After that, Captain Tong asked Xiao Zhao to continue to dig deeper.
Looking at Captain Tong's emaciated face, Chunsheng's mother said that she wouldn't let Xiao Zhao try to prick Captain Tong again. She said earnestly"Captain, it's not a matter of one or two days to treat a child, but you can't spoil your body!If you want to pierce me, just prick me!”
Captain Tong said gratefully: "Sister-in-law, we have understood your intentions. However, only by piercing one's own body can you experience the feeling of needles. The body of the people's fighter always belongs to the people. "Captain Tong asked Xiao Zhao to go deeper.
The air in the room was extremely tense, and everyone held their breath and kept their eyes glued to the silver needle. The needle is advancing point by point, and the hearts of the comrades are rising point by point. Suddenly, Captain Tong felt a tingling in his forehead, and his eyes were like lightning, and he immediately shouted "Stop!."”
Xiao Zhao pulled out the needle, and the depth with the best effect was found. These acupuncture points within three to five minutes of the "forbidden zone" were broken by revolutionary fighters who were not afraid of hardship and death!
Chunsheng's mother, who was standing on the side, burst into tears of excitement in her eyes. She understood that she didn't let Chunsheng come to school because she fell for Guo Qianfu, and she angrily debunked Guo Qianfu's rumors in public.
Chunsheng's mother said: "A few days ago, Guo Qianfu came to my house and said: Chunsheng's disease cannot be cured by many major hospitalsSister-in-law, you have to be careful, you can't let them be blind in Chunsheng's eyes!＇
I said:'The People's Liberation Army is a soldier of the people, how can it be blind?'When this guy saw that I didn't believe me, he added fuel and vinegar and said:'You don't believe it, yesterday I saw a child with blood pricked out of his eye, and today he has a high fever and can't get out of bed!Hmph, people's hearts are unpredictable!Maybe they're here to experiment.
When I mentioned experiments, I couldn't help but think of the old things before liberation. That year, Chunsheng's brother Chunxiang had a high fever, his eyes were white, and he ran to several hospitals to not treat him, but he didn't expect to inject a test drug into the child in a gringo's hospital, and the child was so painful that he cramped and died soon.
The tragic death of the child has always been imprinted in my mind. Since then, my heart has jumped whenever I hear the word trial. Guo Qianfu said that the People's Liberation Army was conducting experiments, but I didn't believe it, but Chunsheng listened to Guo Qianfu's words and said that he didn't want to come to school.
In the morning, Teacher Zhang Xia went to my house to persuade Chunsheng to come to school, and I told Teacher Zhang what Guo Qianfu said. Later, I thought that I had to report to the comrades of the People's Liberation Army, so I came. ”
Speaking of this, Chunsheng's mother lowered her head sadly and said ashamedly: "Captain, I didn't actively support Chunsheng's treatment;I'm really sorry for the medical team!”
Captain Tong is completely aware that a series of strange phenomena recently are indeed Guo Qianfu making trouble. He said to Chunsheng's mother: "Sister-in-law, don't be sad, Guo Qianfu wants to spread rumors and sabotage our blindness work, and his conspiracy will not succeed!”
Chunsheng's mother returned home and led Chunsheng to school. He repeatedly told Chunsheng to listen to his uncles in the People's Liberation Army, to heal the eyes of the revolution, and to serve the people well when he grows up.
After a large number of revelations by the masses and the help of the departments concerned, it was found out that Guo Qianfu was the person who helped the foreigners in conducting experiments before liberation, and that he was a loyal lackey who killed people without seeing blood.
After liberation, this guy absconded in fear of crime, changed his name and surname, and in 1958 he infiltrated a blind school and became a school doctor, in a vain attempt to lurk and wait for an opportunity.
He was very hostile to the People's Liberation Army (PLA) coming to the school to treat illiteracy, so he spread rumors and incitement in an attempt to squeeze out the PLA medical team. But he never expected that as soon as the fox's tail was revealed, it would be caught. In the face of hard facts, he had to bow his head and confess.
The living facts of the class struggle have deeply educated the teachers and students of the blind school, and some of the blind children who have been deceived and unwilling have come to participate, and some have even taken the initiative to cooperate.
One day, when Captain Tong was pricking Han Chunsheng with an needle, Xiao Han's body suddenly twitched, and Captain Tong immediately stopped and asked with concern, "Does it hurt badly?"”
Chunsheng gritted his teeth and said firmly: "Uncle, it's nothing, you can rest assured!."Once you have tied it, you will learn from me;If you don't tie it well, you can also learn from me. ”
Chunsheng took the initiative to cooperate, and Captain Tong was very moved. He tied it carefully and accurately, and when the first course of treatment was almost completed, the white clothes in Han Chunsheng's eyes gradually receded. Once Captain Tong pricked Xiao Han with a needle, and as soon as he pulled out the needle, Han Chunsheng said in surprise: "Ah!."My eyes are a little shining!”
Captain Tong hurriedly turned on the light and asked, "Xiao Han, can you see the light on **?"Xiao Han rubbed his eyes, pointed to the direction of the light with a trembling hand, and said, "It seems to be there!."”
Xiao Han already has a strong sense of light. Months of intense fighting have yielded initial results. A smile of victory appeared on Captain Tong's face. He said kindly: "Xiao Han, rest for two days and prepare for the second course of treatment." ”
Han Chunsheng has been blind for fifteen years, how many days and nights have fifteen years!He is looking forward to seeing the light sooner, and today he is about to regain his sight, how can he rest?He happily said, "I see a little light!"
The thousand-year-old iron tree will blossom, and the ten thousand-year-old withered vine will sprout. After the second course of treatment, the day when Han Chunsheng thinks about it every day and looks forward to it every night has come. His white clothes completely receded, revealing a pair of large black and shiny eyes. Suddenly, a new world unfolded in front of him, dazzling and brilliant!
Looking at Chunsheng's big black and shiny eyes, the parents of the blind children were very excited. They all held up the things in their hands and asked, "Chunsheng, do you see this?""Chunsheng, do you see this?Chunsheng didn't seem to hear, he kept looking left and right, as if he was looking for something.
Chunsheng's mother understands the child's mood very well. She pulled Chunsheng over, pointed to the *** portrait on the east wall and said, "Child, this is the great savior you miss day and night!."”
Ahh**Han Chunsheng couldn't help but burst into tears, and looked at it with infinite affection, as if to say: "*Ah,** I couldn't see your old man in Tiananmen Square in 1966, but today I can see your old man's house!"”
Then, Chunsheng's mother pulled Chunsheng to Captain Tong and said with infinite gratitude: "Child, remember, it was the revolutionary medical and health line that saved you, and it was your relatives and the People's Liberation Army that made you see the light again." Chunsheng suddenly threw himself into Captain Tong's arms.
The good news of Han Chunsheng's regain of sight spread like a spring breeze. The blind children rushed to tell each other, and they all saw the hope of regaining their sight from Han Chunsheng.
The medical team is concerned about the blind children, and the parents of the blind children and the blind children are more considerate of their loved ones. When the parents of the blind child found that their loved one's clothes were dirty and torn, they quietly took them home, washed them and mended them, and quietly sent them back.
Some blind children are afraid of pain, and the parents of the blind children sit next to the children and tell the children the heroic stories of Huang Jiguang and Qiu Shaoyun who are not afraid of hardship and death.
Han Chunsheng, who has regained his sight, helps the medical team wash the eyes and boil medicine for blind children. Sometimes I also learned from my uncle in the People's Liberation Army to prick needles for blind children. Xiaolong, a blind boy who is only 10 years old, quietly fills the medical team's water bottle every day, for fear that his relatives will not feel comfortable drinking cold water.
The medical team has turned the care and expectation of the people into a great motivation for the treatment of blindness. After curing Han Chunsheng's eye disease, they marched towards the difficulty of eye tremor, and soon Sun Xiaoling, who had been blind for fifteen years, also regained her sight.
Under the meticulous work of the medical team and the close cooperation of the blind children and their parents, groups of blind children have regained their sight. They sang and danced, cheering the great victory of the revolutionary line, and their excitement was like the spring water of a river, overflowing with water.
The first school for the blind presents a thriving scene. For the first time, the school for the blind has set up a blind-eyed teaching class. The students who have regained their sight read and write happily in the Mingyan teaching class, and no longer have to read and touch with their hands, and they use an awl to write and prick.
Outside of class, students sang, danced, kicked shuttlecocks, and played table tennis, and the campus was full of joy.
The blind boy who has regained his sight solemnly swore in front of the statue of ***, determined to listen to the words of ***, study hard and Xi, make progress every day, and after graduation, go to the countryside, go to the factory, and go to the place where the motherland needs it most.
The medical team successfully completed the first task of the blind school, and went to the new combat post with confidence. They are determined to be more modest and prudent, assiduously study Marxism-Leninism and Xi ideology, conscientiously sum up the experience of curing blindness in the previous period, and are determined to overcome new difficulties in curing blindness, so that more blind people can see the red sun.
