Xie Xiumei, a first-class meritorious female warrior, what happened later
In the movie "Heroes' Children", there is an unforgettable scene: in the crazy bombing of enemy aircraft, at a critical moment, Wang Fang used her body to protect the injured Comrade Li, while she herself was covered in bruises.
The "Hymn to Heroes" she sang not only inspired the fighting spirit of the soldiers in the film, but also ignited the flame of advocating heroes and striving for progress in the hearts of all Chinese sons and daughters.
Some might say that this is nothing more than a movie, so why not learn about the real heroes of history? Indeed, many people don't know that Wang Fang actually has a prototype character, and this prototype character is not known.
However, the story of this archetypal character is no less admirable. Wang Fang's prototype is Xie Xiumei, who is the only female soldier who won the first-class merit in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea.
Born in 1932, Xie Xiumei grew up in a poor peasant family and was brutalized by landlords. However, after the Communist Party launched the peasant ** movement, Xie Xiumei's parents and other farmers in the village followed the Red Army to fight local tyrants and divide the land, and the family situation began to improve.
Xie Xiumei's parents taught her from an early age that she must support the Communist Party, and only by fully supporting them can she drive the enemy out of China. Therefore, Xie Xiumei began to work for the guerrillas at the age of 9 and became a small correspondent.
Her story, though little-known, is equally full of courage and determination.
Xie Xiumei, a 9-year-old girl, joined the local children's group and bravely took on heavy responsibilities, taking the children to stand guard, sentry, and deliver letters, and each task was completed flawlessly.
She was keen to listen to the praise of the Communist Party members and her parents for her completion of her mission, and this desire for praise drove her to constantly exercise her eloquence in the course of dealing with the enemy, and to develop the skills of seeing people and telling ghosts.
Despite her young age, Xie Xiumei's mentality and will have surpassed her peers. She once talked to the traitor and skillfully lured the other party to the trap set by the guerrillas, so that the ambushed fighters could successfully capture him.
This wit and calmness won high praise from the people, making her a famous little warrior in the local area. Xie Xiumei eagerly aspired to become a member of the Communist Party and worked hard to achieve this.
In her hometown, she has been helping the guerrilla fighters, transporting crops to them with their parents' permission. The Chinese people are united in their hearts, and the soldiers have charged again and again on the battlefield to protect the country and the people, showing a heroic and tenacious spirit and making great contributions to the victory of the war.
On August 15, 1945, Japan announced its unconditional surrender, and the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression was officially declared victorious. This is not only a victory for Xie Xiumei and the Chinese people, but also a victory for world peace.
Xie Xiumei, a heroine who dedicated herself to the liberation of the Communist Party. She actively participated in women's support for the army, organizing and sending help to the Communist Party. After the liberation of her hometown, she responded to the call of the country and actively participated in various activities in the village.
During the performance, she learned about many heroes, and the one she admired the most was the heroine Liu Hulan. Xie Xiumei secretly vowed in her heart that she must be like Liu Hulan, have a firm belief and serve the motherland.
In 1948, Xie Xiumei was favored by the organization and became a member of the art team of the Political Department of the 68th Army of the People's Liberation Army, realizing her dream for many years. However, in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Chiang Kai-shek absconded to Taiwan with his cronies after the defeat of the war, and arranged for many spies to hide in various parts of the mainland.
The existence of these spies has caused great harm to our country, and in order to eliminate the reactionary forces with which they have colluded, the state has sent quite a number of troops to encircle and suppress them. Xie Xiumei, as a heroic soldier of the People's Liberation Army, has a wolf in front and a tiger in the back, she ignored the warnings of the United States, crossed the border of the Yalu River several times, and for the peace and tranquility of the motherland, she forged ahead bravely, showing the courage of a woman who does not let her eyebrows go.
FigIn the face of the US attack on the DPRK and the threat to Chinese territory, the country's leaders made a final decision after careful consideration: to resist US aggression and aid Korea. Countless patriotic young people responded to the call, filled with enthusiasm, joined the volunteer army, and embarked on the journey to the Korean battlefield.
Xie Xiumei has always implemented the country's decision-making without regrets. Although she was still a child during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the War of Liberation, she was unable to directly participate in the war, but now the country needs her, and she joined the volunteer army without hesitation and became one of the female soldiers.
Xie Xiumei's 68th Army was ordered to fight in North Korea, after a long journey and a long march of more than ten days. Xie Xiumei, like her male comrades, not only did she not fall behind, but she could also help support her comrades who were unwell and lose weight for her physically exhausted comrades, while carrying their luggage on her back.
Despite the tedious and arduous march, Xie Xiumei never felt hopeless or wanted to give up. She infected the tired soldiers with her enthusiasm and liveliness, and took out everything she learned in the art troupe to boost morale and sweep away the atmosphere of the team.
Although Xie Xiumei is only an adult warrior, she has superhuman will and helpful qualities, and is always on the road of helping others. This behavior shows the best character and tenacious perseverance of a warrior.
FigThe volunteer army has been through many battles, but the fighters are still holding their ground. As a member of the art troupe, Xie Xiumei knew the importance of boosting the morale of the army, and at the same time tried her best to solve the logistics problem in the rear.
However, the enemy's forces and ** far surpassed our army, and even blocked the supply lines of our army. Seeing that the soldiers were hungry, Xie Xiumei was anxious, so she went up the mountain alone to pick wild vegetables.
She used the shelter of trees to successfully get rid of the reconnaissance of enemy planes, dug up nearly 300 catties of wild vegetables in a short time, solved the problem of feeding the team, and Xie Xiumei was also awarded the third-class merit.
In addition, Xie Xiumei also took advantage of every favorable opportunity to do a good job in propaganda work to boost the morale of the soldiers. They also went to the forward positions with the chiefs to give condolence performances, and although dangers occurred from time to time, the soldiers reacted quickly and escaped the enemy's attack in time.
Although the musical instruments were blown up, the soldiers still picked up the dishes, chopsticks, and basins while knocking and singing, singing the experience of winning the battle and the deeds of heroes, inspiring many fighters.
Xie Xiumei's performance on the frontline battlefield was like a long drought and rain, bringing morale and positive energy to the tired soldiers. At the same time, she also took on logistics work, boiling water for cooking, sewing clothes, chopping wood and other work, passing on love to every soldier who returned from the battlefield.
Later, Xie Xiumei was transferred to the field surgery station, where she began to learn medical knowledge and devote all her energy to the wounded. Although she was unable to go into battle to kill the enemy herself, her work was just as important, and she devoted countless efforts and hours to the treatment of the wounded.
Xie Xiumei's spirit is worth learning from, and her dedication makes us understand that everyone can contribute to their own positions.
In the freezing winter, soldiers often had to endure wind and snow for guns, and it was not uncommon for cotton clothes to be blown up by shells and bullets. Xie Xiumei is a brave warrior who disregarded her own safety and took off her cotton clothes to warm her wounded comrades.
Her selfless love touched the soldiers present, and they vowed to do their best to kill the enemy in front and repay Xie Xiumei's efforts. Xie Xiumei looked at the injured soldiers, and her heart was full of anxiety and distress.
She can only take care of them as best she can, and make them forget the pain in the way of a show. Her heroic deeds were recognized by the Political Department, and she was hailed as a "model marcher".
However, Xie Xiumei's life was also threatened in a battle, and she bravely dodged the bombing of enemy planes, but the surrounding houses were blown up in an instant. Although Xie Xiumei did not leave her name, her bravery and great love will remain in people's hearts forever.
In the smoke of gunpowder on the battlefield, enemy planes frantically dived and strafed, shells were fired one after another, and the fire was fierce, instantly surrounding the operating room. Under the enemy's gasoline bombs, the surrounding buildings were quickly set on fire, and the team had no power to fight back and could only urgently evacuate the wounded.
Xie Xiumei quickly came to the operating room, and the soldiers were busy quickly transferring the wounded one by one. However, after counting the number of people, it was found that there was one person missing! After investigation, it was found that Comrade Li Yonghua, the platoon commander of the 605th Regiment, was seriously injured and could not get up alone.
The situation was urgent, and no one in the team noticed him while he was still in the hospital bed. Xie Xiumei rushed into the burning room without hesitation, her lungs were stung by the smoke, but she still gritted her teeth and persevered, and came to Li Yonghua's hospital bed according to her memory and carried him on her back.
Although Li Yonghua was much heavier than her, Xie Xiumei still rushed forward as fast as she could. Just as she walked out the door, there was a loud ** sound behind her, and the enemy plane spotted their tracks and dropped shells, blowing up the operating room.
Xie Xiumei carried Li Yonghua on her back and ran wildly in the flames of war, with a roar in her ears and craters all over her. Li Yonghua was worried that he would kill Xie Xiumei, so she asked her to hide quickly. Xie Xiumei firmly told him that her task was to protect him, no matter what the cost.
Tired, she stumbled with Li Yonghua on her back, and her legs were like lead. Suddenly tripping, she couldn't get up, but she knew she couldn't stay any longer because enemy planes were still bombing. She struggled to stand up and continued to carry Li Yonghua forward.
At the critical moment, she immediately put down Li Yonghua and used her body to shield him from shells. The two were buried in the soil, and Xie Xiumei was injured in many places, but she used her life to protect Li Yonghua's safety.
Xie Xiumei's heroic deeds of saving people in the war are like a clear stream circulating among the troops. In a foreign country, her father reunited with her as a representative of the Chinese people's condolence group to North Korea.
Joy instantly made Xie Xiumei forget her tiredness, but the father saw that his daughter had lost weight, and his eyes were more determined, and he felt very relieved in his heart, his daughter was full of heroism.
After hearing about his daughter's deeds, the old father had tears in his eyes and was full of distress, but he still gave his daughter praise and praise. Soon after, Xie Xiumei was recorded as a first-class meritorious service by the Volunteer Army Headquarters and officially joined the Communist Party.
This is an affirmation of Xie Xiumei's heroic performance, and it is also her highest honor. In the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, only 154 volunteers won the first-class merit, and Xie Xiumei was the only female soldier among the 154 soldiers.
FigOn the lawn behind Huairen Hall in Zhongnanhai, Xie Xiumei met with representatives of the returned volunteers. Xie Xiumei held flowers in her hand, her heart full of excitement. When she saw the tall figure, she couldn't suppress her mood and said excitedly: "On behalf of all the soldiers of the Volunteer Army, I greet you!"
I hope the chairman is in good health and all is well! * immediately replied: "Thank you, greet the soldiers on the front line for me, and hope they all return safely." ”
After speaking, he took the flowers and shook hands with Xiumei. This moment is unforgettable for Xie Xiumei's life, and her excitement continues. Xie Xiumei told the people of the whole country that she was moved by the spirit of the frontline fighters in facing difficulties, and the people of the whole country were impressed by this spirit.
Numerous movements have been set off in the country, and they have learned from the heroes of the past and used their own methods to defend their homeland and country.
Xie Xiumei observed the grief hidden in the smile, and instantly understood the chairman's thoughts about the sacrificial son Mao Anying, but he was not depressed, but went to comfort the volunteers.
This deeply touched Xie Xiumei, and she threw herself into the chairman's arms with tears streaming down her face, a scene recorded by reporters behind her. Subsequently, Xie Xiumei returned to the Korean battlefield and fought with her comrades.
On October 25, North Korean President Kim Il became the second anniversary of the Volunteer Army's war abroad and awarded Xie Xiumei the highest medal of honor. After the end of the war, the soldiers who had been stationed in a foreign land for a long time finally embarked on the road back home.
When Xie returned to China, her heroic deeds were already a household name. In the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, countless heroes emerged, and their deeds deeply affected the broad masses of the people.
They sang the praises of all the warriors in their own way, and Xie Xiumei's deeds were also adapted into an opera. The famous writer Ba Jin created ** "Reunion" based on the experience of Xie Xiumei and other heroes.
With his unique writing, Ba Jin depicts the heroic deeds of these heroes more vividly and delicately, making readers feel as if they have experienced the hardships and dangers of the battlefield.
FigWriter Ba Jin's ** left a deep impression in the hearts of readers, and the story was adapted into an excellent film "Heroic Children", which satisfies people's imagination of heroes through the vivid characters in the film.
In this way, these actors let the audience understand the cruelty of war and feel the hard-won good life of the moment, which has had a profound impact on generations. Back then, almost everyone knew about Xie Xiumei's deeds, but now few people mention it.
This is mainly due to the fact that she has always maintained a humble attitude and never hyped up her experience. Even when working in the army, she was always diligent. After being discharged from the army, Xie Xiumei never mentioned the glory of the past again, and did not let the children do anything in her name.
Decades have passed, and the neighbors around her have left one after another, and the people around her do not know that she was once a heroine who won first-class merits. In 1994, Xie Xiumei fell ill and was hospitalized, she was poor all her life, and the huge medical expenses made her family live a hard life.
It wasn't until a magazine wanted to interview the old hero that everyone learned about Xie Xiumei's deeds. After the incident, countless leaders came to visit Xie Xiumei, and well-wishers from all over the country donated money and sent letters.
However, on January 30, 1996, Xie Xiumei still passed away and bid farewell to her beloved motherland.
