main body

1992, a photo of a "hero looking for a wife" won the "gold medal photography" in news photography. In the photo, a soldier's chest is covered with military medals and he is in a daze in a cemetery with many graves. It is not difficult to see from the subtle expression that the hero is restrained, but his expression is sad. The moment of tear drops touched the heartstrings of countless people.

The soldier in this photo is Zhang Liangshan, a native of Shaanxi, born in 1965. He is a transport soldier in Tibet and an unsung hero of the New Tibet Line. Since 1986, Zhang Liangshan has been groping for more than 20 years in Xinzang, which is known as the "road to death", with a journey of more than 600,000 kilometers and more than 100 trips. It has delivered more than 750 tons of materials and more than 500 people to the frontier inspection station, which is a veritable "red blood cell on the Xinzang line". At the same time, he also won the second class twice and the third class six times, and was awarded the title of "Kunlun Guardian" twice in a row.

Then there is such a hero on the new Tibet line, but in 1992, he is greeted with the most ruthless teasing of fate. This year, Zhang Liangshan was introduced to marry his wife. Less than 10 days after the marriage, a telegram "Be right back" was sent back to the army. Later, his wife said that she was pregnant with a child, so he happily took his wife to the army so that she could take time off to accompany her during childbirth.

Unexpectedly, my wife was hospitalized with a cold when she was about to give birth. At this time, the troops also requested to carry out transportation tasks, and their comrades also advised him to take time off from the task. However, as a veteran of the New Tibet Line and a transport platoon leader, Zhang Liangshan clearly knows what this task means to the officers and men who stick to it in winter.

Winter is coming. If they can't deliver these materials to the border post as soon as possible before the heavy snow comes, the soldiers on the mountain are likely to starve, freeze or even die. At such a critical moment, Zhang Liangshan couldn't ask for leave, so he had to persuade his wife to set off with a heavy responsibility. Then Zhang Liangshan's trip was not peaceful. Just arrived at Hongliutan Station, the team called and said that something might have happened to his wife, and asked him to hurry back. Seeing that the task can be completed within three to five days, Zhang Liangshan gritted his teeth and moved on. Then the motorcade arrived at Shiquan River. The motorcade called and said that his wife's dystocia was dangerous and she would come back soon. At this time, Zhang Liangshan could no longer hold back his worries and drove down the mountain overnight. When the car drove to Sodom station, the phone in the team caught up and asked him if he was protecting adults or babies. He can only sob to say that he wants to protect two, but it is too late to protect adults!

Zhang Liangshan walked for a day and a night before coming back, and walked the mountain road in five days. By this time, the child had died, leaving only a bleeding dying wife. Zhang Liangshan stayed in the hospital for 15 days, but he still couldn't get his wife back from death, leaving only his tearful words before she died: "Run slowly in the mountains in the future." .

In front of his wife's grave, Zhang Liangshan wore a neat military uniform with a military medal hanging on it. He gave a military salute to his wife and children first, and then knelt in front of the grave as a husband. He also personally made a tombstone for his wife, but before he could write the inscription, he offered to start again, this time to send combat readiness materials to Ali. At this time, Ali has closed the road in heavy snow, and only skilled drivers dare to take a trip. Zhang Liangshan wanted to mourn his wife and children in this special way.

After he came back, he personally engraved the tombstone and formed the habit of sitting in front of his wife's grave every time he came back from a mission. A few years ago, before he went down to the grave, he had already made a path. Then unfortunately, I didn't let him go. Soon after, my relatives wrote that my sister died in her hometown. My old father cried his eyes blind because he couldn't bear the blow of losing his loved ones one after another. He also fell down stairs and broke his leg. In this way, the successive misfortunes made the iron man want to cry, but he knew that he had no choice but to overcome the misfortune.

Today's Zhang Liangshan, with the help of troops and comrades-in-arms, has slowly got over the pain, established his own family and married a beautiful nurse. And her daughter also continued his ambition, not only to join the army, but also to contribute to the construction of the western region with her. At the same time, Zhang Liangshan himself was accepted by the state * * *, holding many honorary titles and becoming the deputy political commissar of a military division of Lanzhou Military Region. At this moment, I can only sincerely wish good people a safe life.

label

Zhang Liangshan's experience is sad and unfortunate. Of course, for a soldier, he carries his own mission and responsibility. Who says there are no heroes in peacetime? The hero of this era lies in sticking to his mission in the ordinary.
