Chapter 68 Facing blood and fire, what does a Tomb Christian think?

The Gospel Hospital in Changting (Tingzhou) was originally run by the Church of England. It was not large in scale and not fully equipped, but at that time, it was one of the largest hospitals within a few hundred miles. In 1925, the wave of the "May 30th" patriotic movement stirred up this small mountainous town, and the masses participated in demonstrations one after another. Fu Lianjun, a doctor, was aroused by the national indignation, and signed a telegram to the whole country to oppose the British and Japanese imperialist aggression.The British doctors were scared away by the roar of the mountain city, and the masses elected Fu Lianjun as the president.When he first worked as a doctor, he served the Kuomintang army as well as the Red Army later.But because he was born in poverty, he has more affinity with the Communist Party, so he sympathizes more with the Communist Party.One of his nieces is a member of the Communist Party and also participated in the Nanchang Uprising.Later, she returned to her hometown and secretly worked in Tingzhou.Soon, the younger brother of Fujian Provincial Chairman Zhang Dingcheng was arrested, and a list of Tingzhou Communist Party members was found in his home.At that time, a division commander of the Kuomintang army was sick in the Gospel Hospital. The division commander was very grateful for Fu Lianjun's treatment. He revealed that there was a communist in Fu's family, and showed Fu Lianjun the telegram ordering the arrest and execution of the list of gays and lesbians.Fu immediately notified his niece and all comrades on the list to leave quickly, allowing the entire party members to escape.

In mid-August, Fu Lianyun heard that the uprising troops were going south and were being pursued by the KMT Qian Dajun's troops. It was estimated that there would be a war soon, so he immediately made an appointment with the doctors in the whole city of Tingzhou. Center, the establishment of cooperative hospitals.Fu Lianjun was still working as a school doctor in several schools, so he made appointments with many teachers and students to take up nursing work. After more than ten days, an officer with an armed belt came to Fu Lianyun, saying that he was an adjutant of the rebel army. As soon as he explained his purpose, Fu Lianyun said, "It's already ready!" He took him inside and outside the hospital and told him where the operating room was and where the wounded were placed.The officer was naturally very happy when he heard this.

Soon, more than 300 wounded of the rebel army were sent to Tingzhou. Huichang was 180 miles away from Tingzhou on a mountain road, and the weather was extremely hot. Many wounded wounds were festered, and surgery had to be done quickly.However, there were only two surgeons who could afford a scalpel. Fu Lianyun studied internal medicine and knew a little bit about surgery, so there were only three of them. Three people have to operate on 300 people and perform other treatments. I am so nervous that I can't breathe.However, the doctors were immersed in their work, and no one complained that they were tired.

There is only one small contradiction: Even after the rebel army arrived in Tingzhou, the sound of footsteps and slogans on the street could be heard from the ward.This is something new in Tingzhou.Most of the doctors and nurses are young people. When they heard this voice, their hearts beat like drums. They all wanted to go outside, even if they had a look, but how could they leave the wounded? Later, Fu Lianyun suddenly received a notice asking him to listen to the report.He suddenly became one of the luckiest people.Everyone looked at him enviously and told him to tell him what he saw and heard when he came back!

It was still hot, and the streets were full of dazzling sunshine.Fu Lianjun walked slowly in the heat, watching the sudden changes on the street with novelty: newly written slogans were everywhere on the walls, leaflets and notices were pasted on the telephone poles. At the corner of the alley, people clustered here and there, listening to the speeches of political workers.The report meeting was held in the auditorium of the normal school.There were about three or four hundred people sitting in the auditorium.Today, Guo Moruo and Yun Daiying will give reports.Guo Moruo's first sentence was: "I was also from Tingzhou 300 years ago!" This sentence changed the atmosphere of the venue.Then Yun Daiying, who is thin but energetic, spoke.He still had a red collar tied around his neck.With his gestures and words, the emotions of the audience are firmly grasped by him. With his words, sometimes they are sad and angry, and sometimes they are passionate...

When Fu Lianjun returned to the hospital, his heart was still pounding.He told what he heard and saw, and the doctors and nurses were also excited with him.At that time, the Nanchang Uprising was what everyone was most concerned about. Some wounded with minor injuries often told everyone the stories of the uprising. Sometimes the stories were so engrossing that the wounded forgot that they were wounded, and the nurses also forgot that they were nurses. , the room was as quiet as a valley for a while, all immersed in the memory of this great event. Chen Geng, whose leg was broken, lives in Xin'an Building near the hospital.Fu Lianjun took the nurse to treat him.Due to excessive bleeding, Chen Geng's face was yellow and his body was very weak.Fu Lianjun gently lifted his quilt, ho, the injured leg was very swollen, red and shiny.

After the inspection, Fu Lianyun thought for a while, and finally made up his mind: "Get ready, amputate." Fu Lianyun's tone was steady, but Chen Geng's face turned pale with shock: "Ah? Amputation?" He beat the bed board and shouted: "I escaped from death, did I come here to saw my legs? I don't have legs, what can I walk with? I still How do you lead troops to fight?" "The most important thing now is to save your life!" Fu Lianjun couldn't just listen to the patient. "Can't you think of another way?" "Of course there is conservative treatment. Gouging out the rotten flesh and new polyps is no better than amputation."

"I survived death, and still afraid of pain? Doctor, I beg you, as long as I can keep this leg, I, I, Chen Geng, will celebrate your birthday every year!" Fu Lianjun was finally persuaded.He ordered the nurse to bring the splint and antiseptic.He looked at Chen Geng's sallow face due to excessive bleeding, and hesitated again. "Do it, doctor." Chen Geng comforted Fu Lianyun. "When I was beating Huizhou, I even picked out bullets from my legs. Do it boldly. If I scream, I will be inhuman." Chen Geng did not shout.Just a few holes in the towel biting in the mouth.

Fu Lianjun took off his mask, exhaled a big breath, and said with admiration: "You are the hero Samson in Christianity. Unfortunately, I am not Peter or John. In that heroic story, as long as they pull your right hand, you can Make your feet and ankles strong..." "You are the first good doctor I met." Chen Geng smiled weakly, breathed hard, and said sincerely: "Come to our team, we all need you, you must be better than that and that. Come on, oh, John and Peter Strong!" For several days in a row, Fu Lianjun came to check his condition, disinfected Chen Geng with "Yousu" every day, and fixed it with a splint.Sometimes I give Chen Geng the fresh milk I ordered to drink to strengthen his resistance.Chen Geng's seriously injured leg was miraculously preserved in this way.Until after liberation, Chen Geng did not forget his promise to celebrate Fu Lianjun's birthday every year.He remembered that Fu Lianyun's birthday happened to be the Mid-Autumn Festival, and every day on this day, he would visit his house to celebrate his birthday, and if he was not in the same place, he would write a letter to congratulate him.It is a pity that both of these two generals passed away prematurely because of the behind-the-scenes activities of their "comrade in arms" Lin Biao.In March 1961, when Chen Geng was dying, he still remembered this incident: "If I am not here in the future, when the Mid-Autumn Festival comes, don't forget to wish Comrade Fu Lianjun his birthday."

In fact, Fu Lianyun also thanked Chen Geng from the bottom of his heart.It was him who opened up another side of life for him.He wanted to go with the rebels, but thinking of his age, he was a little undecided. Coincidentally, Xu Teli, a representative of the Third Division Party, also lived in an upstairs building next to the old ancient well near the hospital due to illness.When Fu Lianyun came to see the doctor, Xu Teli had a severe fever, and his body was very weak due to his age.But his firm and optimistic mood made it difficult for people to see that he was a seriously ill old man.When he got better, he found something to talk to Fu Lianjun.Only then did Fu Lianjun know that Xu Teli was already 50 years old and had just joined the Communist Party that year.

Fu Lianjun was a little surprised.Xu Teli didn't think so, and said to him: "50 years old is the time to start a career. At the beginning of my life, I can at least have 30 to 40 years to work for the party." Fu Lianjun is only 33 years old.Soon, Chen Geng left with his unhealed injured leg, and Xu Teli with his fever-relieved body.Standing at the entrance of the hospital, Fu Lianjun watched their backs melt into the avenue, feeling empty and uncomfortable.Fu Lianjun's home is about 50 miles away from Tingzhou.The situation is very poor.Both parents were devout Christians, so he also became a Christian when he was a child.Later, a doctor of the Church of England helped him and became a doctor.Qu Qiubai's "New Social Outlook" had a profound influence on him.It was this contact with the wounded of the rebel army that made him make up his mind. In 1937, when a reporter from the French "Salvation Times" interviewed him, Fu Lianjun expressed his state of mind at that time. Although he joined the Red Army at that time, he was not yet a member of the Communist Party: Since I joined the Red Army after the Nanchang Uprising in 1927, That is to say, he made up his determination to revolutionize to the end under the leadership of the Communist Party.I stayed in the Red Army for so many years (10 years) because of the following reasons: first, I felt that I belonged to an oppressed nation and an oppressed class; second, I was inspired by the Communist Party educator Qu Qiubai; Thirdly, the responsibility is unshirkable, because although the Red Army had many wounded and sick at the beginning, there were no doctors, so I felt that I should do this job.The Red Army is a real people's army fighting for the people's interests - a fact I have learned from many years of experience.She is the most disciplined army to protect the motherland and the people.The attitude of Red Army soldiers to doctors is not arrogant, but respectful and trustworthy, which is completely different from the mercenary army in this respect.Also, the reason why I stayed in the Red Army was because I firmly believed that it showed the way to the liberation of the Chinese nation and the masses of the Chinese people. Originally, practicing medicine received 200 yuan a month, plus the salary of the church hospital, so that Fu Lianjun and his family had no worries about food and clothing.But he dedicated his hospital and all his property to the revolution, and left his 80-year-old mother, wife, and four children in Jiangxi, and embarked on the 25,000-mile Long March by himself.His cousin Fu Lianbiao and nephew Fu Beide were arrested by the Kuomintang from Fu's house, saying they were Communists and killed them; the other three people who were close to him were also killed; and he himself almost died twice.Once, he fell from a horse and fell into a deep river in western Hunan; once again, he passed out due to thin air in Jiajin Mountain, Xikang. For 40 days and 40 nights, I tasted the hardships of the grassland and suffered from diarrhea.However, he has no regrets.He thanked Chen Geng for his always smiling face and Xu Teli for his vigorous voice.It was also because of his choice that so many people remembered him, as if he was a doctor, but a general.He has no regrets in his life.
