Meng Yan's Transformation

Zhan Zifeng's home visit leave is over, and Zhan Yu and little Zhan Zixun are also preparing to go home after visiting their relatives.

One day, someone in a nearby village fell ill in the border defense unit where Zhan Zifeng was stationed. The villagers came to the unit for help, but the attending doctor of the unit had just left for the training camp. Zhan Yu put down his bag ready to go home without saying anything, explained to the unit leader that he was a former military doctor, and hurriedly went to the village with the villagers to see the patient.

The patient's name is Wang Fuquan. He has acute appendicitis and needs surgery immediately. If the surgery is not timely, the irritation of the appendix will cause congestion of the abdominal mucosa, causing obvious pain and severe pain in the right lower abdomen, etc., which may lead to appendicitis abscess, causing the risk of perforation and endangering the patient's life!

Because Zhan Yu came to the border defense force to visit relatives, he did not bring any medical equipment for surgery and was unable to perform surgery on the patient. So he hurried back to the border defense force from Wang Fuji's house and reported the patient's condition to the troop leaders.

The military leaders convened an emergency rescue meeting. Zhan Yu was approved to attend the meeting as an exception. At the meeting, the military leaders asked Zhan Yu to express his opinions. Zhan Yu spoke passionately: "'Respect life, save the dying and the wounded, be willing to make sacrifices, and love without boundaries' is the greatest affirmation of every medical worker. So I unconditionally advocate saving lives! 'Save the dying and the wounded, and practice revolutionary humanity' is also Chairman Mao's inscription for China Medical University in 1941. Chairman Mao's inscription has become the action compass of generations of Chinese medical workers and the motto of medical workers across the country... Treating diseases and saving lives is like going to the battlefield. Although I have retired, I have never forgotten the honor and duty of a soldier. Soldiers take obedience as their first duty, and I obey the arrangements of the military leaders!"

There was no time to lose, saving lives was the most important thing, so the army leaders temporarily appointed Zhan Yu as the chief surgeon and borrowed the army's operating room to perform surgery on the patient Wang Fuquan.

The operation went smoothly and successfully, but it was performed a little too late. An abscess had formed in the appendix and it had perforated, leading to diffuse peritonitis. If the operation had not been performed, it would have led to complications such as phlebitis abscess and septic shock, leading to the patient's death.

To express their gratitude, the villagers presented two silk banners to the border defense force with drums and gongs, just like the New Year. One banner read: "The army and the people are as close as fish and water, and the people's soldiers are the children of the people!" The other banner read: "The people's good doctors, saving lives and healing the wounded."

Zhan Yu and little Zhan Zixun were also invited to the village by the villagers. Wang Fuquan's brother Wang Fusheng killed a pig for the New Year and invited all the villagers to eat "pig-killing dishes" to congratulate Wang Fuquan on his resurrection, and of course mainly to thank Zhan Yu for saving his life.

Wang Fusheng also tied big red flowers on pig heads and pig thighs and sent them to the border defense troops where Zhan Zifeng was, so that the troops could also improve their food.

Not long ago, Wang Fuquan's brother Wang Fusheng asked Zhan Yu to go to Dayangshutun to see his cousin Wang Fulu for medical treatment.

As soon as Zhan Yu and little Zhan Zixun arrived at Dayangshutun, he was infected by the enthusiasm and wealthy life of the folks here.

Dayangshu Village is located at the junction of Daxing'anling and Songnen Plain. The land is fertile, the sandstorm is small, the forest is dense, and the wood resources are rich. Every household uses pine wood or small logs for cooking. The wood logs are stacked high and neatly, unlike Aobao Village, which is bare all around. Most of the wood is used for cooking. A large bundle of grass is gone after burning a few handfuls. Many families raise sika deer and produce antlers for sale, which are very popular. Some families brew purple plum wine, fragrant plum wine, and mountain wine, which are delicious and popular! In addition, the children and women in Dayangshu Village go up the mountain to collect black fungus, hazelnuts, acorns, pine nuts, basswood wild honey, white melon seeds... The mountains are full of treasures!

Wang Fulu was suffering from stomach problems and arthritis. Zhan Yu did massage for Wang Fulu because he did not bring any medicine or medical equipment. Wang Fulu's condition improved and he was very respectful to Zhan Yu. Wang Fulu saw that Zhan Yu liked Dayangshu very much, so he persuaded Zhan Yu to settle down with his family in Dayangshu.

Zhan Yu was moved by what he said, and he said to Wang Fulu: "Brother Wang, don't lie to the truth. I really like Dayangshu, but I have to discuss it with your sister-in-law Yunqing before making a decision!"

"Okay, brother Zhan, you go home first and discuss it with your sister-in-law Yunqing. I will apply for a relocation permit from the Dayangshu production team leader. Our Dayangshu village is a prosperous place, and many people want to come. The production team leader strictly controls the population moving into Dayangshu village. You are a rare talent, so I can ask someone to help you get the relocation permit!" Wang Fulu said to Zhan Yu.
