Ice sculpture survivors, frozen limbs are still alive
In 2022, the movie "Changjin Lake" will refresh the box office record as soon as it is released, and it has been well received by the audience. The film was created against the backdrop of a real historical event - the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea.
In 1950, the Chinese People's Volunteers resolutely went to fight in North Korea, not only to help North Korea, but also to shoulder the heavy responsibility of defending the country. There is a touching scene in the movie, that is, rows of volunteer soldiers stood unwaveringly in order to complete the task in the extremely cold battlefield environment, and finally all became "ice sculptures", which is the shocking "ice sculpture company" in the Battle of Changjin Lake.
It was the most tragic war in the world, and the entire battalion was almost wiped out, except for Zhou Quandi, who was only 16 years old, survived. However, as the only survivor, Zhou Quandi's situation is very serious.
In the freezing cold of minus 40 degrees, he suffered three days and three nights, and his limbs were severely frostbitten, and he had to amputate his limbs to save his life. How will this anti-Japanese war hero who lost his limbs spend the rest of his life?
Will the loss of limbs be a stumbling block in his life? How is he doing now? Let's ** his story together.
The hit of the movie "Changjin Lake" has made this tragic battle more well-known. As the only survivor, Zhou Quandi is more than half a hundred years old, still heroic and resolute, and uses his story to tell us one heroic legend after another.
In 1950, the Korean War broke out, and the United States tried to occupy Korea. At this critical moment, the Chinese People's Volunteers stepped forward and used their bravery and determination to fight for the freedom and dignity of the Korean people.
Their heroic deeds have made us deeply feel the perseverance and selfless dedication of the Chinese people. They are true heroes, and their spirit deserves to be remembered and passed on forever.
Our country borders the DPRK and is in a precarious position. If the United States succeeds in invading North Korea, the next target will be China. If we do not stop the US aggression in Korea, we will be putting our fate in the hands of the enemy.
At such a time of crisis, for the sake of *** Chinese People's Liberation Army ** leadership called on the national volunteers to go to the DPRK to fight and protect the motherland. Zhou Quandi is only 16 years old and is also a member of this group of volunteers to resist US aggression and aid Korea.
Although they are all young people in their early 20s and in the prime of their youth, they have not hesitated to shoulder the responsibility of defending the motherland without complaint.
They do not know the specific tasks, only that their duty is to defend the Motherland. The volunteers arrived at the Yalu River with determination, received supplies, and after seeing them off, they embarked on the road of defending the motherland and resisting US aggression and aiding Korea.
They have only one conviction, and that is to expel the United States and prevent its minions from reaching out to China. However, as soon as the volunteers arrived in Korea, they encountered rare cold weather, which was extremely unfavorable for their lightly armed combat.
But they have no way out, they can only move forward firmly, grit their teeth, and forge ahead.
Zhou Quandi's wing arrived in the area of Changjin Lake, and the task was arduous, and they had to stop the American ace troops at all costs. This team is strong, well-equipped, and well-stocked, and it is a tough battle for the entire team.
Zhou Quandi's company decided to lay an ambush near Changjin Lake, wait for the arrival of American troops, and then take it by surprise and annihilate it in one fell swoop. However, at that time, the temperature at Changjin Lake had dropped to minus 40 degrees, and such an extreme environment made it difficult for the Chinese volunteers to operate.
They were lying on their stomachs in the snow, unable to move lightly even in the cold, for fear that the movement would be too big and disturb the American troops. In the process, they had no supplies, so they had to eat dry food when they were hungry and grab a handful of snow to eat when they were thirsty.
They held out in the bitter cold for three days and three nights, and many young warriors fell asleep in the cold, but the clear-headed warriors encouraged each other and vowed to get through the tough times together.
After the end of the war, almost all of them were frozen into ice sculptures, maintaining a fighting posture, as if ready to charge again at any moment. This is the "Ice Sculpture Company" in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, which shows the courage and fearless spirit of selfless dedication of the soldiers.
The only survivor, Zhou Quandi, cheered up in his fortification and waited for the attack signal with full attention, but when the signal sounded, he found that he could not move, and finally fell asleep.
Although they did not complete their mission, their heroic deeds will forever be etched in history.
After the end of the war, the dying Zhou Quandi was immediately found and quickly sent to the rear hospital for treatment. After the doctor's diagnosis, it was found that his limbs suffered severe frostbite, and in order to save his life, he had to amputate all his limbs in pain.
After the operation, Zhou Quandi was in critical condition and fell into a coma. Doctors warn that if he doesn't wake up within seven days, he may be irretrievable. Fortunately, Zhou Quandi woke up on the seventh day, and his life was miraculously out of danger.
However, after losing his limbs, what challenges will he face in his future life?
When Zhou Quandi woke up after losing his limbs, he did not fall into the abyss of pain as we expected, but showed an unexpected calmness. His mentality is touching.
When we asked him why he was so calm and whether he had fully accepted the status quo, we were impressed by his answer. "I was lucky that I survived, and although I am no longer a whole person, I did survive in the true sense of the word," he said.
My comrades-in-arms were not so lucky, they remained on Korean soil forever. Although Zhou Quandi's life was damaged in the war, he did not give up his life because of this, but used this experience to inspire himself to live well, not only for himself, but also with his dead comrades, no matter what difficulties he will encounter in the future, he will face and overcome them with the spirit of a warrior.
His words are full of tenacity and courage and give us endless inspiration.
According to Zhou Quandi's recollection, the environment was extremely harsh at that time, and due to the urgency of the march, the cotton jackets and dry food were not fully prepared, and they had to struggle to survive in the bitter cold. However, in order to complete the mission, all the fighters resolutely survived three days and three nights, always maintaining a fighting posture and being on standby at any time.
Although many of the fighters eventually gave up due to physical exhaustion, they did not move, lest they be spotted by enemy scouts, causing the ambush plan to fall short. Zhou Quandi himself didn't know how to persevere to the end, but he kept telling himself in his heart that he had to complete the task and not drag down the entire company.
In the face of the severe cold, the soldiers' dry food has frozen into hard ice cubes, and they cannot bite or eat. In desperation, they grabbed a handful of snow to fill their stomachs. The snow did not taste good, with a faint astringency, but they did not care, they just wanted to hold out until the day of the ambush, complete the mission, defeat the Americans, and protect their homeland.
The Battle of Changjin Lake shattered the myth of the invincibility of the Americans, and the Chinese Volunteers won the final victory. This glory not only belongs to China, but also to every soldier who fights bravely on the battlefield.
The soldiers of the Volunteer Army have left the firmness and tenacity of the Chinese people in the icy and snowy Changjin Lake forever, and the perseverance and responsibility of the Chinese people have been passed down from generation to generation.
Zhou Quandi, known as the only survivor of the "Ice Sculpture Company", although he suffered a severe physical injury and lost his limbs, he faced the challenges of life with an optimistic and positive attitude.
He firmly believes that the value of life lies not in physical perfection, but in spiritual tenacity. He said: "No matter what difficulties I encounter, I believe that I can stay strong!" ”
His optimism and perseverance show us the tenacity and beauty of life. Even without limbs, he can live his life to the fullest. Mr. Zhou, your optimistic attitude towards life has deeply influenced us, making us cherish life more and face life more positively.
Losing his limbs, Zhou Lao began a difficult road of self-care. He spent three or four months several times as many as ordinary people learning how to do housework and how to take care of himself. Although he was slow every time, the end result was the same as that of a normal person.
The dedication and sweat behind this are something we can't perceive, and the only thing we can feel is the indomitable spirit of Zhou Lao. After Zhou Lao was disabled in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, he has been spending time in the Sichuan Provincial Revolutionary Disabled Soldiers' Rest Home.
Despite being in a sanatorium, he never stopped learning. He began to learn to write, enriching himself in this way, showing his tenacious vitality.
Zhou Quandi had a strong love for knowledge when he was a teenager, and often indulged in the sea of books in private schools. However, by chance, he decided to put down his books and go to the battlefield to continue his military career in another way.
After some years of precipitation, Zhou Quandi regained the opportunity to learn, and his thirst for knowledge did not diminish in the slightest. However, compared with ordinary people, Zhou Lao faced great challenges in writing, and even insurmountable.
Faced with this dilemma, Zhou Lao did not choose to give up, but actively looked for a solution. He tried to fix the pen on his arm, using the swing of his arm to drive the pen to move.
Although it may seem simple, it is difficult to practice. However, Zhou Lao did not back down because of this, he firmly believed, practiced every day, and continued to work hard.
After two years of unremitting efforts, the writing of Zhou Lao's hard pen characters has reached the standard, horizontal and vertical, and simple Chinese characters can also be written smoothly. Subsequently, Zhou Lao began to study calligraphy, although calligraphy is more complex than hard calligraphy, but he still moves forward bravely and is not afraid of difficulties.
This indomitable spirit, just like the courage he showed in the Battle of Changjin Lake, will never back down. With his tenacious will, Zhou Lao finally mastered the art of calligraphy and shined in the world of calligraphy, and his works won numerous awards, which are amazing.
So, what makes Zhou Lao always persevere? The answer is simple, it is his love of knowledge and courage to challenge himself.
Zhou Quandi, who is nearly 90 years old, shared his experience on the show, facing the dilemma of losing his limbs, he said that he was very lucky to survive, and he encouraged us to be positive and optimistic, laugh at life, and do not back down no matter what difficulties we encounter.
Mr. Zhou's optimistic attitude has deeply inspired us that as teenagers, we have no reason to complain about the unfairness of life, but to move forward bravely and meet challenges. "
In one of the world's most tragic wars, the Korean battlefield left behind countless heroic and fearless heroes. They defended our motherland with their lives, dyed the rising five-star red flag red with their blood, and wrote a glorious chapter in history with practical actions.
Heroes are both individuals and collectives. In that war-torn era, they rushed forward regardless of everything, were not afraid of sacrifice, and were willing to contribute, so that they could exchange for the peace and prosperity of the motherland today.
We, the younger generation, should remember history, never forget the national shame, learn from the heroic and fearless spirit of our revolutionary ancestors, strive for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, and jointly draw a brilliant blueprint for China's future.
