The 91-year-old doctor grandmother has been practicing free clinics for more than 30 years. When she got married, she made a family motto to keep the difficulties to herself.

Da Shihua, this name is a bit difficult to pronounce at first glance, but for the residents of Cuiyuan District 1, Xihu District, Hangzhou City, it is a familiar name. This man was born in November 1926 and has long since passed away. The elderly man still leads the community medical volunteers with full enthusiasm to provide primary medical services conscientiously: injections, blood pressure measurements, and health consultations. He has been doing this for more than 30 years.

For more than 30 years, Grandma Da has treated more than 600 residents in the community, and the residents treat her as a family member; the more than 30 patient diagnosis books she recorded are placed in the cabinet The stack is nearly half a meter high; the "Da Shihua Studio" spearheaded by her has become a "medical station" for community residents. The service content has also extended from the initial high blood pressure monitoring to health lectures, consultation, and medical guidance. , psychological counseling for the elderly, emergency response to medical emergencies, etc.

What inspires Grandma Da to persevere for thirty years is the family motto she set when she and her husband got married - keep difficulties to yourself, give convenience to others, and have the heart to serve the people. heart. In the wedding year, the family motto was set for her daughter, who was 1 year old. She left her hometown to practice the family motto

The grandma in front of her was smiling and dressed very fashionably: her hair was short and short, slightly permed and combed to the ears. Meticulous; the top is a black printed short-sleeved shirt with a party emblem on the left chest; the lower body is a black and gray plaid skirt. Taking a closer look, she also had her eyebrows tattooed and was wearing a pair of white earrings. Over ninety years old, she speaks with a loud voice and walks with a light step.

Grandma Da’s house is not big and the decoration is simple, but it is filled with a strong scholarly atmosphere. Calligraphy, paintings and books can be seen everywhere in the house, which is the family motto of “leave difficulties to yourself and give convenience to others”. , hanging in a conspicuous place at the entrance. "Do you want some coffee? I'll make you a cup of coffee." It turns out that Grandma Da's wife is an overseas Chinese. After the founding of New China, he came back from the United States and devoted himself to the construction of the motherland. During the decades of getting along with his wife, She also developed a habit of drinking coffee and eating toast.

"My wife is a mechanical engineer. He likes to read books and newspapers, especially ancient literature. This family motto is what he thought." Grandma Da said, "That year (1952), we just got married. How long. At that time, he was very busy at work and often traveled around in order to complete various tasks as quickly and efficiently as possible. I was born in the 1920s and grew up before the founding of New China. I experienced the war and understood his enthusiasm for serving the motherland very well. So, I never complained. One day, he suddenly told me that we should establish a family motto. I thought it was something like 'three chapters', but I didn't expect it to be this sentence." At this point, Grandma Da laughed.

For decades, Grandma Da and her husband have always adhered to this family motto. During the Great Leap Forward in 1958, Grandma Da left her 1-year-old daughter behind and went to the countryside to work as a "barefoot doctor" because of Chairman Mao's words: "Put the focus of medical and health work in the countryside." "At that time, I was We are the head nurse in the operating room of our hospital (Dalian Medical College). There are 5 nurses in the operating room. But except me, everyone else has two children, and there are no elderly people at home who can help, so I signed up first. "Grandma Da said that according to the plan, the members of the medical team were changed every three years, but the other children were too young, the oldest was only 9 years old, and she didn't even think about letting her mother help her daughter. Without hesitation, he chose to stay in the countryside for eight full years.

Recalling those days when she went to the countryside, Grandma Da felt quite emotional. She said that when she came home for the first time three years later, her daughter just looked at her and smiled, but did not let her hold her. That time, she cried because she found that her daughter no longer recognized her. However, she has also learned a lot in these eight years, and has also developed her hard-working and responsible spirit, which is also a reflection of her fulfilling her family motto.

"In the past eight years, I have delivered hundreds of children. I feel happy watching the new lives one by one." Grandma Da said that although the conditions in the countryside were difficult at that time, the people were simple and honest. , she is also deeply loved by the local people, and they like to come to her whenever they have a headache or fever.

In 1986, she moved to Cuiyuan District 1 with the intention of retiring to her old age, but did not want to "return to her old career"

In 1986, Grandma Da followed her daughter and son-in-law to live in Cuiyuan District 1. District, she had retired at that time and originally planned to spend her remaining years in the beautiful Hangzhou. However, before she was familiar with the environment, she started working in primary care services again.

“At that time, the conditions here were not very good. It could be said that there were only houses but no roads, let alone buses. Therefore, it was very inconvenient for residents to see a doctor. It was okay during the day, but not at night. Especially when there is an emergency or when a pregnant woman is about to give birth." Grandma Da said that for this reason, she discussed with the neighborhood committee and made two decisions: First, buy a tricycle specifically to deal with medical emergencies. Second, for those who need injections and dressing changes every day but have limited mobility, she will be responsible for free door-to-door services every day. Gradually, Grandma Da became more and more popular in the community. Even the children would call her "Hello Grandma Da" when walking on the street.

In 1988, the country began to conduct a general survey on hypertension, caring about the residents. The healthy Grandma Da took the initiative to volunteer and became a census taker.

Since each resident spends different time at home, she often needs to run up and down constantly, sometimes more than ten times a night. At that time, she was 62 years old.

The hard work paid off. After more than 10 days of investigation, the results came out. At that time, there were more than 500 patients with hypertension in Cuiyuan District 1, and most of the patients had very low awareness of hypertension. , let alone formal treatment.

After seeing this situation, Grandma Da immediately reported to the community leaders and immediately set up a "blood pressure monitoring point" to control everyone's blood pressure. This is also the "Da Shihua Studio" "The prototype.

With the joint efforts of Grandma Da and three other retired doctors in the community, the blood pressure of hypertensive patients in Cuiyuan District 1 has been effectively controlled, and almost no one has suffered from hypertension-related complications. Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular accidents.

Grandma Da’s home phone number is even called the “health hotline” in the community by residents. Every day, there are always five or six people calling to ask for advice. Sometimes, when she was not sure about her meal, Grandma Da would write it down and ask her daughter and son-in-law, who were also doctors, at night.

Over the years, there is such an experience that Grandma Da still remembers: One night, a young man called and said that his pregnant wife was dizzy and hoped that Grandma Da would help. After hanging up the phone, Grandma Da took the blood pressure monitor and stethoscope at home and went out. When she rushed to the young man's house, she found that the pregnant woman looked a little bad. When she measured her blood pressure, the systolic blood pressure was over 200 mm of mercury. What caught her even more off guard was that before she could ask the boy to call an ambulance, the boy's wife began to have convulsions (pregnancy eclampsia). In the desperate situation, Grandma Da was quick to take action and sent the young man's wife to the hospital immediately, thus saving the safety of the mother and son. Afterwards, even the doctor repeatedly lamented that it would have been troublesome if it had been a step later. Although it was only a "transit", Grandma Da's late night visit still moved the doctors and the boy's family present.

She applied to join the Party at the age of 8, and she is the "youngest" Party member in her family

Every Friday morning from 8:30 to 11:00, she is a regular member of the "Da Shihua Studio" On free clinic days, at this time, this place will become the liveliest and warmest place in the community. The service work of the studio is mainly undertaken by Grandma Da and three other retired doctors in the community. Each person takes turns once a week, including holidays. intermittent.

As the leader of the studio, in addition to conducting consultations, Grandma Da is also responsible for the logistics work of the studio. She works meticulously and divides the residents who come for consultation into four areas: "southeast, northwest" , each resident has his own unique "file", and the elderly's blood pressure, blood sugar index, medication usage, complications, etc. are carefully recorded. "If the blood pressure is high, we will use a red pen to record it and pay close attention to it. We also record what medicine everyone takes to see which medicine is more effective." Grandma Da said.

In the past two years, Grandma Da also spent money to buy more than 360 small notebooks that are only as big as the palm of your hand and can be put in your pocket. She wrote the names of each patient and asked them to carry them with them. It is jokingly called this the medical record book in the community.

December 18, 2016, is a very meaningful day for Grandma Da. On this day, her dream finally came true - she officially became a member of the Communist Party. "For decades, I have always wanted to join the Party, even in my dreams. My daughter and son-in-law joined the Communist Party of China as early as the 1980s, and even my granddaughter joined the Party before me, but due to For various reasons, I didn’t submit my application to join the party until 2013,” said Grandma Da.

To encourage her husband who is sick and hospitalized, Grandma Da wrote a love letter

In life, Grandma Da is a considerate and romantic person. Grandma Da’s daughter and son-in-law are very busy at work. It would be nice to be home at 7 o’clock every night. Therefore, in these years, she has taken care of their daughter and son-in-law’s dinner. After breakfast every day, she goes to the market to buy vegetables and picks the freshest ones. Buy; get up after a nap to wash and pick vegetables, pickle the ones that need to be pickled first, and start stir-frying and cooking around 5 o'clock in the evening. Yesterday, she went to the market and bought winter melon, pork, green beans, amaranth, and fish. "I am idle at home. I can do whatever I can." Grandma Da said.

When talking about her wife, Grandma Da smiled again. In the middle of the wall of her living room, there was a photo of the two old people when they were married for 60 years. The paintings on both sides were a tiger and a tiger. Horse. "I am a Tiger and he is a Horse. We have never blushed once in the decades we have been together, and he is very good to me. Since we did not take wedding photos when we got married, he took our photos to a photo shop. I went to photoshop one." After saying that, Grandma Da immediately took us into the bedroom, pointed to the two "wedding photos" on the wall and said, it was just the two of them in the photo, and the clothes and background were not theirs.

"Grandma, you must have been very beautiful when you were young, right?" Faced with this question, Grandma Da confidently replied: "Of course, otherwise how could he (his wife) like me!"

Of course, Grandma Da also loves her wife deeply. That year, his wife fell ill and was hospitalized. The torture made the old man feel bad, so Grandma Da wrote an emotional love letter to him. "I have to let him know that our whole family loves him." Grandma Da said. After reading the love letter, my wife was very excited and wrote a reply in English, telling Grandma Da that she would love her forever. Now, her wife has passed away, but when she thinks of the days she spent with him, Grandma Da's heart is still full of happiness.

With good hands and kind hearts, good people are rewarded. I hope this positive energy will increase and make life better.
