Wonderful life
The bandit leader, known as Chen Mazi, was originally named Chen Shanwen, and was born in Yulin, Guangxi in 1887. Chen Shanwen's family conditions are very good, his father is a local landowner, and he is his father's only son, in that patriarchal era, his father naturally regarded him as a heart, and the family loved him very much.
Although Master Chen dotes on his son, he also understands that he will die eventually, and he also needs his son to support the lintel of the Chen family after a hundred years.
When Chen Shanwen was very young, Master Chen invited the show talent in the town to enlighten him, and he didn't care no matter how much money he spent for his son's education. However, Chen Shanwen is not interested in those old articles, he likes to dance with knives and guns.
In that turbulent era, a big landlord like Chen Shanwen's family was easily looted by bandits or something, so Boss Chen hired a group of nursing homes with martial arts, and the nursing homes often practiced in the courtyard of the Chen family in order to maintain their martial arts.
In the face of Chen Shanwen's interest, Boss Chen did not object, learning martial arts can not only strengthen the body, but also protect his family business and his own life in this troubled era, so it is also a good way out to practice martial arts, but Boss Chen did not let his son practice martial arts with the nurses, but invited a professional martial arts master.
Chen Shanwen is smart and flexible, he has a great interest in martial arts, he is very diligent in practice, even the teacher sighed that he is a gifted child, after he was a little older, Chen Shanwen began to try to practice with the nurses, at first the nurses only regarded this as the young master's hobby, thinking that it was perfunctory, so as not to let him lose face.
Gradually, the nurses discovered that something was wrong, and in the battles again and again, they obviously felt that Chen Shanwen's martial arts were constantly improving, even to the point that they could not cope alone. According to this logic, Chen Shanwen is both civil and military, and when he grows up, he can inherit the family business, become a local rich man, and then live a life of pleasure.
At that time, Chen Shanwen really didn't have too lofty goals, and lived his life according to his interests every day, until something happened that made his fate begin to change.
One day, Chen Shanwen had just finished practicing martial arts and resting at home, when suddenly a relative from the next county came to the door, it turned out that one of his elders had been kidnapped by bandits, and he asked for a ransom to release him.
The elder loves the juniors very much, and Chen Shanwen also respects him very much, thinking that his respected elders were taken captive, Chen Shanwen was furious, and rushed up the mountain with a few people.
After the bandits saw Chen Shanwen, they thought it was the family member who gave the ransom, and they didn't have much vigilance against him, but who expected that Chen Shanwen was unceremonious when he saw the bandits, and directly greeted the bandits with sticks. Chen Shanwen's kung fu is practiced with a famous teacher, he has been practicing martial arts since he was a child and has hardly stopped, his martial arts are much stronger than that group of bandits who have no rules, and there are not many bandits, and after a while, he was beaten by Chen Shanwen and others to flee, Chen Shanwen successfully rescued the elders.
The elders saw that Chen Shanwen had suffered a lot of external injuries, and immediately offered to treat him, Chen Shanwen didn't care about it, he didn't know how many injuries he had suffered since he was a child practicing martial arts, as long as he didn't hurt the vital point, he recovered after a while. But the elders insisted on treating him, saying that it was his family's secret recipe, which had a miraculous effect on external injuries.
Seeing this, Chen Shanwen became curious, and thought about giving it a try, and sure enough, he found that the method worked very well on ** trauma, if he could learn this method, then the injury would be able to recover quickly, so he asked his elders what this secret recipe was.
Seeing his expectant eyes, the elders asked him directly: "This is a family secret recipe, do you want to learn it?" Chen Shanwen said: "Since it is a family secret recipe, can you teach me?" ”
The elder smiled: "As long as you are willing to learn, I will teach." Hearing this, Chen Shanwen nodded hurriedly, and from this moment on, Chen Shanwen embarked on the road of practicing medicine.
The frustration of practicing medicine
Chen Shanwen had never thought about practicing medicine before, but when he learned the secret recipe, Chen Shanwen felt extremely satisfied when he watched those seriously injured people get better day by day with his help.
After learning the secret recipe, Chen Shanwen found that he had a new direction to work on, that is, to become a doctor to treat diseases and save people. After setting his goals, Chen Shanwen began to study medicine vigorously, and in the second year, he was admitted to a traditional Chinese medicine school in Guangdong through his own efforts.
I thought that after entering the orthodox Chinese medicine school, I would be able to make great progress, but Chen Shanwen obviously underestimated the complex environment of the society at that time, Chen Shanwen was undoubtedly the best group of students in the school, but when he graduated, he found that society was often more complicated than he imagined.
Chen Shanwen is a native of Guangxi, although his family is quite wealthy in a small place in Guangxi, but it is indeed much inferior to these big families in Guangzhou, and he does not have the background power of Guangdong, plus under the background of China being suppressed by Western forces, Chen Shanwen, who graduated from the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine, can hardly find a job.
Chen Shanwen was bent on treating diseases and saving people, and later he found a lot of connections and gave out a lot of money, so he became a doctor's assistant in Wu Peifu's army. Although he is only a small assistant, Chen Shanwen is already very satisfied, and he thinks that he can become a big doctor by slowly accumulating experience.
But Chen Shanwen's job is to be an assistant to a German, German doctors naturally use Western medicine, the world environment at that time is that Western medicine is "advanced", and there is a big difference between Chinese medicine and Western medicine, such as the same disease, different people are sick, then the prescription of Chinese medicine is different, Western medicine is to directly produce symptomatic drugs, and Chinese medicine pays attention to "curing the root cause", the effect will be relatively slow, which makes Chinese and Western medicine conflict, and Western medicine will also look down on Chinese medicine.
This German doctor is considered a doctor with good medical skills, and he was invited by Wu Peifu for a lot of money, and everyone in the army was polite to him, so he was a little arrogant, and he naturally despised Chen Shanwen, who was born in traditional Chinese medicine, and often mocked the uselessness of traditional Chinese medicine openly and secretly.
As an assistant to the German doctor, Chen Shanwen was naturally regarded as a doctor, so when a German doctor could not find a German doctor in an emergency, the soldiers found Chen Shanwen.
Chen Shanwen couldn't bear to see the soldiers suffer, so he used the secret recipe he learned to inflict trauma for them, and the effect was naturally needless to say, and the soldiers also passed on that Dr. Chen's ** trauma, even better than the German doctor, the arrogant German doctor hated Chen Shanwen more and more, and usually insulted him.
Chen Shanwen is not a vegetarian, but after learning martial arts for so many years, he took advantage of a night when no one was there to directly beat up a German doctor. With Wu Peifu's attention to this German doctor, Chen Shanwen knew that he might not be able to eat and walk around, and he was ready to retreat on the night he decided to beat him.
After beating up the German doctor, Chen Shanwen did not hesitate to leave Guangzhou by train. After leaving Guangzhou, Chen Shanwen decided to return to his hometown of Guangxi to make another plan, although he encountered setbacks on the way to practice medicine, but these did not dampen his enthusiasm for saving people.
After returning to Guangzhou, Chen Shanwen did not enter a professional institution, but practiced medicine everywhere in the local area, hoping to save more people, Chen Shanwen was born in a landlord family, and he didn't have to worry about money at all, his greatest interest was to be able to cure the disease and save people, in the face of poor patients, Chen Shanwen not only did not take a penny, but also gave them drugs to treat the disease.
Chen Shanwen, who had just graduated, thought that if he wanted to go further in art, he needed to study in the hospital and get in touch with more cases to make progress, but after returning home to practice medicine, he found that he could only see more patients by walking in the people. In the past few years, his medical skills have continued.
Chen Shanwen's superb medical skills were learned by a ** general who came to the local area, so he let Chen Shanwen serve as his military doctor, not long after, Zhang Fakui suffered a serious car accident, many doctors were helpless, Chen Shanwen wanted to try after learning about it, but he didn't expect to really cure Zhang Fakui.
Zhang Fakui thanked Chen Shanwen for saving his life, and under his introduction, Chen Shanwen entered a military medical school for further study, and after graduation, he became a major military doctor by virtue of Zhang Fakui's relationship. Of course, with Chen Shanwen's ability, there is no problem at all to be this major officer.
However, being in a high position also has to face the targeting of others, Chen Shanwen needs to be responsible for purchasing the army's medicinal materials for work reasons, and the profits are naturally self-evident, whether he has filled his pockets or not, those who covet this fat difference will naturally not let him go, Chen Shanwen was physically and mentally exhausted by intrigues, and in a war, Chen Shanwen's unit was defeated, and he took advantage of the war to flee home.
Soon after, Chen Shanwen joined the Kuomintang by chance, because Li Zongren set up a hospital in Yulin to serve the army, Chen Shanwen entered the hospital on the recommendation of a friend, but the war situation in the later period of the Kuomintang was not good, so he found an opportunity to run back to his hometown.
Give the secret recipe
The barefoot doctor became a bandit, why did the doctor who treated the sick and saved people become a bandit who did all kinds of evil?
After two experiences in the army, Chen Shanwen didn't want to have anything to do with the army at all, he just wanted to practice medicine and inherit the family business in his hometown. But the changes of the times are something that an ordinary person can stop?
In 1949, the situation of the liberation of the whole country was improving, and the people warmly welcomed the arrival of the People's Liberation Army, but Chen Shanwen's face was full of sadness, Chen Shanwen only had a general understanding of the People's Liberation Army, and heard that they would "fight local tyrants and divide the land", and those landlords who exploited the peasants would be severely punished.
Chen Shanwen recalled his experience and found that he really stepped on the "thunder point" of the People's Liberation Army countless times, first of all, he was born in a landlord family, and this is the object that the People's Liberation Army wants to bring down, and he has joined the Kuomintang twice, isn't that the enemy of the People's Liberation Army?
Thinking of this, Chen Shanwen knew that his fate might not be good, so he was ready to escape before the arrival of the People's Liberation Army, on the way to escape, Chen Shanwen met the remnants of Bai Chongxi's soldiers, of which the commander of the 206th Division, Wang Jiayan was his friend, after Chen Shanwen said his predicament, Wang Jiayan invited him to go up the mountain as a bandit, Chen Shanwen thought about it and had no other way out, so he had to choose to join.
Since he chose to oppose the PLA, Chen Shanwen also accepted his identity as a bandit, taking advantage of the PLA fighting in the southeast, Chen Shanwen took a small group of bandits down the mountain to make trouble, burning, killing and looting all kinds of evil, and the doctor who once treated the sick and saved people also became a crazy bandit.
Suppressing bandits is also the task of the People's Liberation Army, Chen Shanwen thought that the People's Liberation Army would not dare to act rashly if he behaved a little, but he did not expect that the People's Liberation Army was not afraid at all, but because Chen Shanwen often endangered the safety of the surrounding people, he decided to send troops to suppress bandits in advance.
Although Chen Shanwen's bandits were also regular Kuomintang troops, they were defeated in the end and could not become a climate, and after the arrival of the People's Liberation Army, they directly exterminated this group of bandits. After Chen Shanwen was lucky to escape, he wanted to hide incognito in the village, but he was reported by the villagers and went to the prison of the People's Liberation Army.
Judging from what Chen Shanwen did during the bandit period, it was directly enough to sentence him to death, and it was indeed a death sentence at the beginning, but just before the execution, a paper order turned him into a life sentence, and it turned out that the People's Liberation Army took a fancy to his "secret recipe", which is very important to the People's Liberation Army fighting everywhere.
At this time, Chen Shanwen still disagreed, he promised to help the pharmaceutical factory produce drugs, but he couldn't easily hand over the secret recipe, and our party had no objection to this, with the help of Chen Shanwen, China's pharmaceutical factories began to mass-produce bone water, and Chen Shanwen also taught them how to use bone water, including some bone injury techniques.
Chen Shanwen's bone water benefited the soldiers on the Korean battlefield a lot, and they also sent Chen Shanwen a letter of thanks, and it was this thank you letter that made Chen Shanwen finally decide to hand over the secret recipe.
In addition to Zhenggushui, Chen Shanwen also handed over a lot of drug formulas he developed himself, Chen Shanwen was willing to contribute to the country, and the state began to gradually reduce his sentence, and finally he was released on bail after 7 years in prison, and after he came out, he devoted himself to practicing medicine and no longer participated in politics.
The country will naturally not despise such a medical talent, Chen Shanwen served as the deputy director of Yulin Pharmaceutical Factory after he was released from prison, and also served as a senior doctor.
