In this festive Chinese New Year, we ushered in the good news of two heroes. Demining hero Du Fuguo was happy to have a noble son at the end of January 2023 and was upgraded to a father.
At the same time, the heroic General Hu Xiaobai came from thousands of miles to offer condolences, bringing him more love and blessings. This good news made everyone feel extremely surprised and gratified, and couldn't help but sigh: "Double happiness is coming!" ”
Although Du Fuguo lost his eyes and hands, he still insisted on living an ordinary life, and I am afraid that many people cannot imagine how much effort is required behind this.
In this process, Du Fuguo's perseverance is important, but his wife is also indispensable, silently supporting him and never giving up. So, why was Du Fuguo injured?
What unimaginable setbacks have you encountered? Let's ** together.
In 2015, Du Fuguo became a deminer and has since embarked on a heroic journey of demining. However, his ambition was not fulfilled and he was seriously injured during a demining mission.
Since the end of China's self-defense counterattack against Vietnam, the people on the Sino-Vietnamese border have returned to their former tranquility. However, one after another ** voices disrupted their lives.
The source of these ** sounds is the wartime dangerous goods left over from the border area, including all kinds of ** materials buried deep underground, such as grenades, trick mines, anti-tank mines and bullets.
Originally, these dangerous goods existed to protect the safety of local people, but today, they are a potential threat.
Bazi Village, a remote village in Malipo County, Wenshan Prefecture, Yunnan Province, is said to harbor millions of landmines. These potential threats not only seriously threaten the lives of local people, but also cause great distress to their daily lives.
If you work on firewood or go out and about, you may be injured or even killed if you accidentally step on a landmine. The situation has left the villagers living in fear all day long, and the family is at risk of collapse.
Faced with this situation, the state decided to form a special mine-sweeping unit, which was also the first army unit in the history of the Chinese People's Liberation Army to carry out mine-sweeping operations.
Their mission is to eliminate these threats and create a safe and peaceful living environment for the local people. This decision reflects the great importance that the state attaches to the security of the people, and also shows the responsibility and responsibility of the Chinese people.
Let us look forward to the emergence of this mine-sweeping force and the emergence of a safe and harmonious Bazi village.
When Du Fuguo learned that nearly half of the people in that village in Yunnan had been attacked by landmines and could not bear the threat to the lives of ordinary people in peacetime, he immediately submitted an application to express his determination.
Many in-service soldiers also responded positively and signed up one after another.
Faced with Du Fuguo's application, his superiors were hesitant at first. Because as a border soldier, Du Fuguo has no professional knowledge and experience in demining, which is a highly specialized and dangerous job, and he only has a lot of enthusiasm and may face the risk of injury.
However, Du Fuguo's resoluteness moved his superiors, and he submitted an application again to express his determination to participate in mine clearance: "For me, only by being able to meet the needs of others can I realize my self-worth.
The people there are in dire straits and in dire need of help. ”
Du Fuguo expressed his thoughts in earnest words, and the leaders were finally moved by his request and agreed to his application. However, Du Fuguo paid a huge price in order to find the value of his life.
In 2015, the first mine-sweeping unit of our army was officially formed, and Du Fuguo began his three-year mine-sweeping career. However, things didn't go as smoothly as he thought.
Since he entered the army after graduating from high school and has been receiving regular training in the army's ordinary units, he has no knowledge of mine-clearing expertise, so he has encountered many difficulties in the mine-clearing process.
Du Fuguo knew that he had to constantly surpass himself, so in addition to his busy studies, he seized every available time and spared no effort to catch up with the pace of other comrades.
However, in the first minesweeping professional knowledge exam, he tried his best, and finally only scored 32 points, which was not ideal. "Am I going to have to stop there? ”
Du Fuguo did not become depressed in the face of setbacks, but quickly adjusted his mentality and continued to move firmly towards the goal. He not only systematically studied the knowledge of mine clearance, but also humbly asked other comrades-in-arms for advice when he encountered confusion.
Du Fuguo's spirit of hard work and study was highly praised by his superiors and comrades-in-arms. His hard work paid off in the following exams, and his succession of good results made him stand out and become a role model for everyone to study.
Finally, the long-awaited actual combat began. Before his departure, Du Fuguo had become a minesweeper with excellent professional qualifications, and he firmly fulfilled his duties to sweep away dangers, protect people's lives, and ensure normal material production needs.
The drill was harder than expected. Minesweepers wear heavy protective clothing to survey minefields, regardless of whether the weather is hot or cold. Some shrapnel can interfere with identification, and complex terrain also makes the work more difficult.
Therefore, this requires not only expertise, but also firm perseverance and care. However, Du Fuguo and the other fighters never gave up because of difficulties, but rose to the occasion.
As a soldier of the People's Liberation Army, Du Fuguo knows that his duty is to protect the motherland and protect the safety of the people. He always remembered this sentence and imprinted it deeply in his heart.
In a few years, he has detonated more than 2,400 pieces, although it is hard, he has never felt tired, but has regarded these jobs as his favorite career.
Du Fuguo, a brave and fearless minesweeper. During one mission, he was sent to the Mahei minefield, and in the face of an extremely sensitive Type 59 anti-tank mine, he did not flinch, carefully dismantled the mine, and completed the task perfectly.
There are countless such demining situations, but Du Fuguo, with his professional knowledge and skillful experience, has always been able to successfully complete the task. His minesweeping achievements are admirable, and his hard-working spirit inspires everyone.
I'll just do that. In addition to work, he will also take the initiative to take on the chores of the team, such as repairing doors and windows, tidying up equipment, and even being called a "little third worker".
He will help the comrades in the cooking class to go up the mountain to pick wild vegetables and do his part. This spirit of Du Fuguo is worth learning from.
With rich experience and a calm mind, Du Fuguo has always been able to successfully overcome all kinds of dangerous situations in the course of carrying out his tasks. Therefore, whenever a new recruit joins the minesweeping team, he always takes the initiative to guide them, teaching them how to use tools and master demining skills.
And this habit also led him to say every time he was faced with an urgent demining task: "You stand back and let me come." "However, when walking on the edge of danger, there are always some accidents.
During a demining training in 2018, Du Fuguo led recruits to the Bazi minefield in Yunnan Province. Although the minefield had been cleared of large mines in advance and had a relatively high safety factor, a heavy mine appeared.
This was a new challenge for a recruit named Ai Yan, who had never encountered such a powerful and unstable thunderbolt. Faced with this situation, Ai Yan asked Instructor Du for help, hoping to get some help.
Du Fuguo's wife Wang Jing and Ai Yan heard the call, Du Fuguo immediately entered a state of alert, he first evacuated the surrounding crowd, then cautiously approached the bomb, and said to Ai Yan: "You leave quickly, let me deal with it." ”
However, just as Ai Yan was about to evacuate, due to a slight ground tremor, the lead was broken and the bomb was **. At this life-and-death moment, Du Fuguo did not hesitate to pounce on Ai Yan, using his body to resist the shock wave and shrapnel.
* Afterwards, Ai Yan was unharmed, but he collapsed in a pool of blood and was seriously injured.
Du Fuguo was born in a rural family in Guizhou Province in 1991, his parents were hardworking and simple, working hard day and night in order to live a stable life. Du Fuguo also has a younger brother and two younger sisters, both of whom are of school age.
However, a sudden accident turned Du Fuguo's life upside down. Although he was taken to the hospital and saved his life, his hands were blown off, his eyes were severely damaged, and he could never return to his normal life.
The disaster took a heavy toll on his family and his life, shattering his once good life.
Du Fuguo, a young man born in the 90s, has never shown his personality and rebellion. From an early age, he helped his parents with household chores and took on the responsibility of educating his younger siblings.
He always firmly believes that, as Mr. Lu Xun said: "From ancient times to the present, there are people who work hard, people who work hard, people who ask for their lives for the people, and people who sacrifice their lives to seek the law."
They are the backbone of China. Since he was a child, he has set the great goal of joining the army and serving the country. When he was in high school, the school organized a visit to Zunyi, a red base area, and when he saw the monument of the unknown heroes during the Long March, he felt extremely shocked, and his determination to join the army was also strengthened.
Du Fuguo had a dream of becoming a soldier, but when he told his parents about the idea, his parents objected, and they felt sorry that he would be tired after joining the army and would not be able to go home.
Du Fuguo understands his parents' concerns, but he believes that joining the army and serving the country is his life's goal, and he promises to go home to visit his parents whenever he has the opportunity. In the end, after Du Fuguo's appeasement and persuasion, his parents changed their minds.
Du Fuguo, a hot-blooded boy, resolutely chose to join the army after the college entrance examination in 2010 and entered the border troops of the Chinese People's Liberation Army to begin his military career.
Before enlisting in the army, he was full of confidence and promised to make something to make his parents proud. He has indeed lived up to expectations, winning the title of excellent fighter many times, and rushing home to reunite with his parents every time he has a holiday.
However, in 2018, he was 27 years old, and according to normal life, he should get married and have children. However, due to his long life in the army, he rarely had the opportunity to meet a partner, which made his parents start to worry.
Du Fuguo was bent on finding a satisfactory bride for his parents, so he took advantage of the holiday to go home to prepare for life events. However, no matter how many blind dates he had, he never met the right person.
During a walk in the park, he was attracted by the smile of a delicate girl, and his heart was instantly moved. He decided to seize the opportunity to create a great future for himself and his family.
By chance, Du Fuguo and Wang Jing met. Du Fuguo plucked up the courage to make his request to her, and Wang Jing readily agreed. They exchanged *** and found each other's names, Du Fuguo and Wang Jing.
The relationship between the two is getting deeper and deeper, and Du Fuguo finds that he has found the true love he has been looking for for a long time, but he is afraid to confess to her. "
Wang Jing, the first female college student in the village, has excellent academic performance, and was later admitted to the civil service, with a bright future. And Du Fuguo is in the army, and after marriage, he is destined to be separated from his wife for a long time.
However, how can a heart that loves someone endure it! In the end, he confessed to Wang Jing, and at the same time revealed the difficulties of being a military wife. However, Wang Jing accepted without hesitation and said: "You are handsome and have a sense of justice, I fell in love with you the first time I saw you, but I was too introverted and hesitated to confess." ”
Du Fuguo and Wang Jing fell in love with each other and entered the palace of marriage, but before life really began, they encountered the bad news that Du Fuguo was injured during demining, the whole family was heartbroken, and Du Fuguo also fell into a negative mood.
However, what everyone didn't expect was that Wang Jing, who had just entered the door, took the initiative to take on the responsibility of the family. She rushed to the military hospital, looked at Du Fuguo lying on the bed, and said firmly: "From now on, I will be your eyes and hands." ”
However, the road is very difficult. But they did not give up, but bravely rose to the challenge and started a happy new life.
After Du Fuguo crossed the threshold of life and death, he ushered in the biggest challenge in the process. In this process, his wife Wang Jing consistently gave him the most meticulous and intimate care.
She often told him jokes to help him regain his confidence in life. Du Fuguo finally accepted the cruel reality, and despite the loss of his hands and eyes, he still insisted on actively training.
During the visit of the leader of the unit, he replied strongly: "Please rest assured, I am fine." With the hard work of day after day, Du Fuguo not only learned to dress and wash clothes, but also learned to write with a pen.
And the first thing he wrote down was the name of his wife Wang Jing.
You protect the country, I protect you. This promise gave Du Fuguo great courage to overcome all difficulties. In the end, he was awarded a first-class meritorious service medal by the state for his strength and bravery.
This is a moving story of love and courage.
Du Fuguo and his wife Wang Jing must know that during the war years, many soldiers were awarded first-class merit for their outstanding performance. In recent years, the requirements for military contributions to first-class merit have been very high, usually posthumously awarded after sacrifice, and there are very few people like Du Fuguo who are alive to receive the title.
In the face of the army's high hopes for him, Du Fuguo worked harder, he obtained a bachelor's degree from Guizhou University, and continued to join the army and make more contributions as much as he could.
In 2023, Du Fuguo's life will gradually return to calm, not only won the affirmation of the old leaders of the army, but also won a noble son, and the family will be more complete. Many netizens even brainstormed to name his child and wish him a happy life.
Postscript: Du Fuguo is an out-and-out hero, and his fearless spirit fully embodies the people's army's ambition to serve the country and the people. He deserves flowers and applause, and he deserves to be remembered forever.
