Reading guide:A country can be poor, a nation can be backward, but it must not be without heroes, because heroes are the backbone of a country and the worship complex imprinted in a nation's genes.
Throughout the history of the Chinese nation, no matter which dynasty or which historical period, there has never been a shortage of heroes. Especially since the founding of the People's Republic of China, a number of civilian heroes like Lei Feng, Jiao Yulu, Kong Fansen and others have emerged.
In their ordinary posts, they practice the purpose of "serving the people" and regard the interests of the country and the people above all else. In order to protect and protect the lives and property of the people, they can sacrifice everything they have, even their lives.
28 years ago, Xu Honggang, a young soldier of the People's Liberation Army, in order to protect the property and life safety of the people, faced the gangsters, acted bravely, and after being stabbed 14 times, he still chased the gangsters for 50 meters. He used practical actions to interpret the purpose of serving the people as a Communist Party member and a soldier of the People's Liberation Army.
Now, 28 years have passed, what is happening to Xu Honggang, who was righteous and brave back then?
In 1971, Xu Honggang was born in a small mountain village in Yiliang County, Yunnan Province. Just like Xu Sanduo in "Soldier Assault", his father's biggest hope in his life is that his three sons can become soldiers and eat "public meals".
In 1990, 19-year-old Xu Honggang lived up to expectations, passed layers of selection, enlisted in the army with honor, and became a soldier of the People's Liberation Army. Due to his outstanding performance in the recruit company, Xu Honggang was assigned to serve in a Red Regiment with a long history in the Jinan Military Region.
After becoming a soldier of the People's Liberation Army, Xu Honggang did not relax his requirements for himself, he was determined to be a person who was useful to the country and the people, and took Comrade Lei Feng as an example everywhere. On the training ground, he worked hard, actively demanded progress, in life, he united his comrades-in-arms, helpful, won the leadership and combat praise, has been rated as "excellent student", "hard soldier".
Due to his outstanding performance in all aspects, Xu Honggang soon became the squad leader of the communications company and joined the party with honor in 1993. In the face of honor and praise, Xu Honggang did not have a trace of pride and complacency, and still strictly demanded himself with the standard of a warrior. In the more than three years he has been in the army, Xu Honggang rarely takes vacations, because when it comes to holidays, he always rushes to stand guard and leaves all the rest time for his comrades.
After joining the party this time, Lian Li specially applied for annual leave for Xu Honggang, asking him to go home to tell his parents the good news, and accompany them at home. On August 17, 1993, Xu Honggang, who had finished his annual leave at home, bid farewell to his parents and set off on the road back to the army.
In the early 90s, there was no railway station in Yiliang County, Yunnan Province, so Xu Honggang could only take a long-distance bus in the county seat to Sichuan Province, which is a neighboring country, to take a train. After getting on the long-distance bus in the county seat, Xu Honggang found a corner location and began to close his eyes and recuperate for the next ten hours of the train journey.
Not long after, Xu Honggang, who was half-asleep, was woken up by a cry for help, and as a PLA soldier, Xu Honggang subconsciously stood up to see if anyone needed help. After observation, he found that it turned out that two gangsters had been mixed in the car and were robbing a young lady.
Because the gangsters were holding knives in their hands, no one in the car dared to come forward to help, which made the two gangsters even more rampant, and after snatching the property, they began to covet the woman's beauty and began to move their hands and feet, and the frightened woman could only shout for help.
As a soldier of the People's Liberation Army and a member of the Communist Party, seeing that the lives and property of the people were threatened, Xu Honggang immediately stepped forward and stopped the atrocities of the two gangsters. When the vicious gangsters saw that Xu Honggang was alone, they immediately surrounded him, slapped him twice, and warned him not to meddle in his affairs.
In order not to hurt the surrounding passengers, Xu Honggang did not fight back at the first time, and the two gangsters thought he was scared and continued to carry out ** on the woman. At this time, Xu Honggang calculated in his heart and confirmed that he could ** two gangsters, so he made a decisive move. He first stepped forward with an arrow and kicked one of the gangsters down, then stepped forward and knocked the other gangster to the ground with a heavy punch.
In just a few seconds, Xu Honggang killed two gangsters, and the situation was about to be controlled, but at this moment, an accident suddenly happened. The two passengers sitting in the back seat of the car, taking advantage of Xu Honggang's inattention, one hugged his legs, and the other strangled his neck, and Xu Honggang couldn't move in an instant.
It turned out that there were four gangsters, two of whom were responsible for the robbery and the other two were waiting behind the car. Seeing that Xu Honggang knocked down the two gangsters in front, the two people behind suddenly stood up and attacked, but they were caught off guard, and Xu Honggang suffered a big loss. But after all, Xu Honggang was a veteran who had been in the army for more than three years, and immediately fought back and started fighting with the gangsters.
During the struggle, one of the gangsters who had been knocked down earlier became angry and stabbed Xu Honggang with the dagger in his hand. In the small space of the bus, in the face of the siege of the deadly gangsters, Xu Honggang could not play his skills at all, nor could he effectively dodge, and finally suffered 14 knives in his body, and his whole body was stained red with blood.
Seeing that someone was injured, the driver immediately parked the car on the side of the road, and the four gangsters immediately seized the road and fled. At that time, Xu Honggang was seriously injured, especially after being stabbed in the abdomen, his intestines had already flowed out. But after seeing the gangsters escape, he relied on his tenacious perseverance, wrapped his intestines with a vest, followed the gangsters out of the car, and chased him 50 meters away, Xu Hong just fell in a pool of blood......
Seeing the heroic hero lying in a pool of blood, the passengers in the car immediately called the police, and everyone sent him to the hospital in Junlian County for rescue. Xu Honggang's deeds spread all over the county at once, in order to rescue the people's soldiers who bravely fought the gangsters, the local ** immediately mobilized the county's medical forces, and instructed to save this people's hero at all costs.
After examination, Xu Honggang was stabbed 14 times, his chest and lungs were completely pierced, and the stab wound to his chest was 8 centimeters deep, less than 1 centimeter from his heart. The wound in the abdomen was up to 4 cm long, causing internal organs to flow out of the body. The whole person is in a severe coma, and the situation is not optimistic. In order to save the hero, the president, vice president, and experts of the county hospital personally went into battle and performed a 4-hour operation before snatching him back from the hands of death.
After the first report, Xu Honggang's righteous and courageous deeds quickly spread throughout the country and caused a sensation. Every day, there are people who come to visit him and condolences. And Xu Honggang was concerned about the safety of the masses, and after he woke up, the first thing he said was to ask:"Did the gangsters catch it? Is the crowd safe? ”
In 1994, as a "Young Hero of Righteousness and Courage" and "National New Long March Assaulter", Xu Honggang was also received by the first leader. In front of many honors, Xu Honggang felt pressure, in his opinion, he just did what a PLA soldier should do, but he got so many honors, which made him feel a little guilty in his heart. In order to repay the country and the people, since then, it has been Xu Honggang's goal to contribute to society and serve the people.
After recovering from his injuries, Xu Honggang returned to the army. After regaining his life, he studied hard and was admitted to the military academy with excellent results, and after further study, he improved his cultural level and military quality, and had a better foundation for serving the country and the people.
In 1998, when the Yangtze River suffered a catastrophic flood, Xu Honggang took the initiative to ask Ying to go to the front line of flood fighting; In 2008, Xu Honggang reported to his superiors in Wenchuan University, saying: "It was the people of Sichuan who gave me a second life, and now they are in trouble, please organize and arrange me as the first echelon to go to the rescue." ”
In the face of the flood, Xu Honggang never flinched, just like when he stopped the gangsters, because in his mind, the interests of the people are above everything else. He once said: "The society has given me great care, the people have given me a second life, and I must repay the society and serve the people with a grateful heart and a pure heart." ”
In the 28 years after fighting the gangsters, Xu Honggang relied on his own efforts to successively serve as a platoon commander, a company instructor, deputy political commissar of a regiment of the Jinan Military Region, and deputy director of the division's political department.
Closing Remarks:
Heroes need to remember that gangsters deserve to be punished. The four gangsters who committed the robbery that year were quickly arrested by the local public security organs, namely: Ren Yonglin, Zhong Zhihe, Hao Conghu and Liu Shiyun.
After the trial, Ren Yonglin, the main culprit who stabbed Xu Honggang with a knife, was sentenced to death, and the other three were all sentenced to heavy sentences.
