Zhou Zhigang, a construction worker in his forties, was riding his bicycle quickly, thinking about Zhou Bingkun's past in the hospital.

Zhou Bingkun was born in the winter of 1952. That winter was extremely cold, with the lowest temperature almost reaching minus 40 degrees Celsius. Due to heavy snow, the roads became even more difficult to walk on.

Zhou Bingkun's mother, who lived alone, finally made it to Changchun People's Hospital, but suffered a difficult delivery. After struggling for more than 30 hours, she was already dying, but there was no relative to accompany her. If she continued like this, both mother and child would die. Out of humanitarianism, the hospital performed a caesarean section at great risk. The baby was saved, but the mother suffered heavy bleeding after the operation and never woke up again. The hospital did not have the conditions to raise the young baby, and was panic-stricken and helpless for a while.

Almost at the same time, Zhou Zhigang's wife Li Suhua was waiting for delivery at home. She had already given birth to a son and a daughter. It should not have been a difficult delivery for the third child, but she did. When Zhou Zhigang saw that the situation was critical, he rushed his wife to the hospital.

After the emergency operation, the baby suffocated and could not be saved. Li Suhua also fell into a deep coma after the operation and woke up several hours later. While waiting outside the operating room, Zhou Zhigang unexpectedly learned that the baby who had lost his mother was left unattended.

When Zhou Zhigang learned that his child had not been saved, he was very worried that his wife Li Suhua could not bear the blow. After communicating with the hospital leaders, he promised to return the child if the child's family came to find him, and signed a written agreement. The hospital was also worried that the child might get hurt without relatives to take care of him, so they agreed to let Zhou Zhigang and Li Suhua raise the child temporarily.

So Zhou Zhigang's family raised the child, but no one came to claim him, so Zhou Zhigang named the child Zhou Bingkun and registered him in the household registration. However, Li Suhua was unaware of this and always treated Zhou Bingkun as her own son.

Zhou Bingkun's biological father, Ma Shouchang, who was then the commander of a regiment of the 24nd Division of the 72th Army, braved the wind and snow to cross mountains and ridges. After a 400-mile march, he finally arrived at the Shangganling and Pingkang areas in January 1953. Then he was heroically wounded in a fierce battle and lost his memory.

When Zhou Zhigang arrived at the outpatient department of Changchun People's Hospital, it was almost noon. His stomach was rumbling with hunger and he felt dizzy and dizzy. You have to know that in that era, everyone had a fixed amount of food per day.

In the 60s, when there was a great famine, every household was generally hungry. After the Soviet experts withdrew, the people of the country tightened their belts to pay off foreign debts. Although work was still as busy and messy, most people had no complaints. They lived a hard life but did not complain. They never backed down when they encountered difficulties. All this was because the people at that time had faith and belief in their hearts! People in that era were so simple. Although the situation was very poor, they lived a simple and happy life!

Zhou Zhigang's monthly income is only 27.5 yuan. His wife Li Suhua is a full-time housewife. She has no job, but has to support the living and education of their three children. She also has to squeeze out 5 yuan a month to support her parents in her hometown in the Yimeng Mountain area of ​​Shandong Province. Every day, each person has a 200-liang cornmeal steamed bun for each meal to fill their stomach. A small piece of pickled vegetables with old salt is the norm. Tofu is the most nutritious food. Green vegetables are common, and eggs are extremely rare on the table. Basically, there is no meat. Only during the New Year and the Spring Festival will there be 200-liang meat dishes.
