What is the current situation of female champions in the army
At dawn, we stood guard at the sentry post.
In the book "Ode to National Defense Women", Li Kunlan appeared on the cover with his image. She is a rural girl in Wangji Township, Taikang County, Henan Province, who made a fortune by raising Tuyuan and soft-shelled turtles, with an annual income of 30,000 yuan and a new house.
She was also one of the first people in the countryside to buy color televisions, tape recorders, cars, motorcycles, bicycles and tractors. Li Kunlan was only in his 20s, and he became a famous example of getting rich.
She also wrote two books, "The Breeding and Management of Tuyuan" and "How to Raise Soft-shelled Turtles", which had a great impact after publication. She also went to more than 70 peasant households in more than 20 counties to help others breed, donated more than 20,000 yuan to build nursing homes and militia homes in the local area, and became a well-known "hard-working and wealthy female champion", "national new Long March assaulter" and "national 38 red flag bearer".
Li Kunlan's family is rich and does not forget to serve the country. In 1985, she spent 5,000 yuan (which was a lot at the time) to buy the most needed daily necessities for the soldiers, and overcame many difficulties to climb the old mountain to comfort the soldiers.
Inspired by the bloody battles of the front-line soldiers, she met the "cat-eared piercing people" who were guarding the position. The damp and dark cat's ear hole, and the unkempt but brave and optimistic warriors moved her to tears.
Every day on the front line, Li Kunlan was full of emotion and determined to become a PLA soldier. Li Kunlan plucked up her courage and found the former commander of the Kunming Military Region: "Please accept me as a female soldier!" ”
You are a typical example of local wealth, we took you in, not to demolish the local platform! The chief did not agree. "What if the local authorities agree? Li Kunlan said.
Then of course we are happy! The chief had no choice but to agree, believing that it was impossible for the local government to allow such a typical person to become rich and join the army. But Li Kunlan was resolute, and when she heard the chief's words, she jumped up excitedly.
She hurriedly packed her bags, said goodbye to her comrades on the front line, canceled her plan to go to the stone forest, and immediately rushed back to her hometown to sign up for the army. At that time, under the warm atmosphere of supporting the army and supporting the front, Li Kunlan's desire to join the army was valued at all levels.
After consulting her superiors and conscription and selection, on May 22, the People's Armed Forces Department of Taikang County, Henan Province, approved her enlistment.
On July 6, the troops held a grand welcome ceremony to welcome Li Kunlan, an expert in getting rich and heroine, to join the war. At the welcoming meeting, Xu Xu, deputy chief of staff of the Chengdu Military Region, and Zhou Zhou, deputy commander of the 47 th Group Army, respectively delivered speeches, highly praising Li Kunlan's self-sacrificing spirit and encouraging her to make contributions to the defense of the motherland while continuing to work hard to become rich.
Li Kunlan was deeply moved and said that he would certainly live up to the expectations of the party and the people and make meritorious contributions to the defense of southern Xinjiang. Participating in the war this time, Li Kunlan's identity is no longer a rich female champion, but a female hygienist in a field hospital.
Li Kunlan lived up to expectations and successfully joined the "Lao Shanlan Women's Ambulance Team", known as the "white-haired girl in the cat's ear hole" in the hearts of the soldiers. No matter where the danger is, she always appears there as soon as possible, and together with her comrades, she successfully rescued one wounded after another in the rain of bullets.
In the nursing work, she carefully fed the wounded with water and food, washed their faces and wiped their bodies, read books and newspapers to tell stories, and encouraged the disabled soldiers to strive for self-improvement with her actions.
Her story of joining the army and her heroic performance on the front line once again touched the people of the whole country, making reports such as "She Walked to the Smoke of Gunpowder Like This" and "What a Today's Mulan" widely circulated, making her a well-known figure in the country.
In October 1986, Li Kunlan's story was first reported by the Chinese Militia. A year later, with her own efforts and talents, she became an advanced individual of the women's advanced collective in the whole army, and was commended at the commendation meeting.
Immediately afterwards, she rose to prominence at the Second Congress of Heroes and Models of the All-Army and won the title of "Heroic Model". Since then, Li Kunlan and Xu Liang, together with honor and dreams, have become a member of the heroic model report group and have traveled all over the country.
Her name, along with the classic songs of that era, such as "Bloodstained Style", "Little Grass" and "Goodbye Mom", has become an eternal memory in people's hearts.
On September 20, 2017, Li Kunlan and a group of 9 experts came to Emin County People's Hospital to donate a ventilator worth 450,000 yuan to Feiping on behalf of the 307th Hospital of the People's Liberation Army.
At the same time, she was also escorted to study at the Beijing General Post Medical College.
On September 21, Li Kunlan and his entourage went to Kurbulak Village in Shanghu Town to carry out free clinic activities, and jointly provided medical services for local residents with the president and vice president of Emin County People's Hospital.
On August 24, 2020, Taikang County set up an open station in Beijing, and held a symposium on this basis. The unveiling ceremony of Taikang County's opening station in Beijing was attended and supported by Li Kunlan, former deputy political commissar of 307 Hospital, and Geng Qingrang, Taikang County's investment ambassador.
It can be seen that this former "female champion" and heroine, after studying in the medical college, is now working in the 307 Hospital of the People's Liberation Army, serving as a deputy political commissar until retirement.
