Chen Jian (retired cadre in Xunke County, Heilongjiang Province): You sacrificed and I survived. I can't live today without you. I, Chen Jian, keep my promise. I will accompany you all my life. I will stay with you when I die. Ah, Brother Xun Hua.
Thirty-six years later, Shanghai educated youth returned to this city, and only Chen Jian was still waiting at Jin Xunhua's grave.
For 36 years, Chen Jian worked as a farmer, construction worker, janitor and forestry inspector until his retirement. Fortunately, his wife, Chao Yazhen, always understood and accompanied him, waiting for the martyr who was buried underground.
Unfortunately, however, just as Chen Jian was preparing to enjoy his old age, he unfortunately came to visit him again. At the beginning of this year, his 49-year-old wife was diagnosed with uremia during hospital examination. Whether dialysis or kidney replacement, she needs huge medical expenses, which is undoubtedly an astronomical figure for Chen Jian and his laid-off wife. Their pensions are very small.
Chao Yazhen (Chen Jian's wife): It's all borrowed money. I cried yesterday. I went home. I said don't cry. I said how much money we have to have to cure more diseases. I said we don't have to think about money. I said we should take it step by step. I said god will grow eyes. I say we should try our best to cure more diseases.
For Chen Jian, it is his wife's obscure understanding, help and support that has enabled him to keep his promise smoothly for so many years. Chen Jian said that he must cure his wife's illness anyway. Because he and his wife will continue to guard Jin Xunhua's tomb together, there is still an unfinished wish between them, that is, to replace the weathered cement tombstone of comrade-in-arms Jin Xunhua with a marble tombstone.
Chen Jian: Jin Xunhua and I went to visit the grave, and my wife was ill. There seems to be nothing wrong. Being sick means being sick, so it doesn't matter where you go. I'll go to the grave again, and I'll never change. I will try my best to treat her. It is hard to say what will happen in the future, but I am still here with this belief.
After this program was broadcast, it caused a strong response in the society. Many viewers were deeply moved by Chen Jian's persistence and true feelings. Among them, a private entrepreneur in Beijing called our column and expressed his willingness to perform a kidney transplant for Chen Jian's wife to help Chen Jian realize his wish.
X: Because I also went to the countryside at that time, and I jumped the queue. When we went to the countryside, Jin Xunhua was studying Jin Xunhua's advanced deeds all over the country. Seeing Chen Jian's wake for Jin Xunhua for 36 years, I admire this man and am very moved. I am very touched that there are such sincere feelings and such people who attach great importance to feelings and righteousness in the present society. So after seeing this program, I had this kind of germination and wanted to help him.
After getting in touch with our column, Xie learned that in order to treat his wife, he borrowed money from relatives and friends everywhere, but the tens of thousands of dollars borrowed were far from enough for his wife to have a kidney transplant, so he had to take his wife to a hospital in Weifang, Shandong for temporary treatment.
After getting in touch with a hospital in Beijing, Xie decided to go to Shandong to bring his wife to Beijing for treatment.
X: Hello, is it? I am Xie from Beijing. We'll take you to the three cars. Get ready, get ready the clothes and things you should bring. We will contact you when we arrive today. In addition, I asked if you need to hire an ambulance from the local area to accompany your lover's health (not good). Think about this safety problem. You can touch this matter with the attending doctor again, ok?
On May 6th at 438+04, Xie and several of his colleagues set out from Beijing to meet his wife in Tanfang, Shandong. Early in the morning, Xie and his party came to the hospital where the couple were. Two educated youth comrades who had never met each other but had the same experience met.
Chen Jian: Mr. Xie. You are really my benefactor.
X: This is related to the disease. Don't be sad.
Chen Jian: Thank you.
X: No, I have been to the countryside to jump the queue. When did you go to the countryside?
Chen Jian: This is 1969, and you?
X: I'm 1973.
Chen Jian: Where to?
X: From the suburbs of Beijing.
Chen Jian: We also have Beijing and Nongken.
X: Where are you from? Hejiang area, originally?
Chen Jian: No, Heihe, Heihe area.
X: At that time, when we went to the countryside, how many divisions were there in Beijing?
Chen Jian: We also have it on our farm. I really can't express it in words.
X: After all, I have had such an experience. I'm ready. Come with us later.
Chen Jian: Thank you.
X: We also contacted the hospital in Beijing, People's Hospital. Let me emphasize one more point, that is, when you first arrived, the people had to re-examine it. After kidney transplantation, we have to wait for the kidney source and look at the blood type. There is such a process in all aspects.
Chen Jian: We all listen to you. How did you arrange it?
X: It's all arranged.
X: I was lucky then. I went to Tongxian County, Beijing to jump the queue on 1973, so compared with Chen Jian, he went from an educated youth in Shanghai to Xunke County, Heilongjiang Province. In terms of climate and conditions, he may be harder than me, because after all, we were all from the countryside at that time and knew everything at that time. The reason why I want to help Chen Jian is mainly because of this motive.
On May 16, with the help of colleague Xie, the couple were admitted to the hospital smoothly. Next, Chen Jian's wife, Chao Yazhen, will undergo a comprehensive physical examination to see if she can have a kidney transplant. If there is, she will wait for the kidney source.
On April 28th, after our program about Chen Jian was broadcast, Chen Jian's wish to replace the tombstone for his late comrade-in-arms Jin Xunhua also aroused strong repercussions from all walks of life. The boss of a stone processing enterprise in Hui 'an County, Fujian Province called us after watching the program and expressed his willingness to replace the tombstone for the martyrs for free. On the day when the couple were waiting for the operation, our reporter was entrusted to go to Hui 'an County, Fujian Province to meet the volunteers.
Reporter: This is sent by mail, and this is written at the back.
New Qin Zhen: Here's my idea. This is a picture of this. Write this down. Write this word from this place. According to this design, it is engraved on this piece, not on the back. This photo is engraved here. This is a relief, and this one is engraved here.
New Qin Zhen said that although he had no experience of educated youth going to the countryside, as a peer, he was still deeply moved by Jin Xunhua's deeds and Chen Jianyi's 36-year commitment.
New Qin Zhen: After watching the program, I was even more moved. I feel that a person is a civilian, who has been guarding a comrade-in-arms for 36 years and has been burning incense to sweep the grave every year. I feel that no one in his family can do this. He gave up the opportunity to return to Shanghai and better working conditions. He insisted on staying in that frontier and marginal place, and it should be said that the conditions were not so good. He insisted on staying in that place for more than 30 years, it should be said that it was a lifetime. So I feel very moved.
New Qin Zhen said that Chen Jian's persistence was touching, and the deeds of the martyrs were worth learning by future generations, so he decided to help Chen Jian make Jin Xunhua's tombstone better and let future generations pay tribute to the martyrs.
New Qin Zhen: I don't think about the price, and I don't think about the reward. I never thought about it. I want to do it in the past, and he wants to pretend. According to his family's financial problems, he has difficulty in installation, so I'm going to transport it to help him install it, or even install it. That's what I thought. On the other hand, in my letter, I said that I didn't bring any commercial meaning, and I didn't include such meaning. I wrote a sentence in my letter, saying that you (Chen Jian) have never done anything great, nothing earth-shattering, but few people can do this kind of thing you have done. That's what I said at the time.
At present, the new Qin Zhen has obtained the consent of the relevant departments in Xunke County, Heilongjiang Province, where the martyrs' tomb is located, and plans to personally transport the newly-made tombstones to the cemetery for installation on the occasion of the 36th anniversary of the martyrs' sacrifice on August 15 this year. At that time, Chen Jian's wish will also come true.
On July 14, Chen Jian called to tell us a good news. After two months' waiting, his wife, Chao Yazhen, finally arrived at the source of kidney and will have a kidney transplant that evening. After receiving the call, we rushed to the hospital immediately.
Wang Xiaofeng (doctor, Beijing People's Hospital): We basically started preoperative preparation two days ago. After knowing that she is coming to match this ideal kidney, the first thing is that our medical staff should communicate with patients more. I will tell the patient about it and make it clear, hoping to make her less nervous. Many patients are nervous when they hear that they are going to have an operation, no matter what it is. When they are nervous, there may be other situations, such as high blood pressure, which often affects our operation.
Reporter: That's like this super lady. Judging from the examination in our hospital, what is her current physical condition?
Wang Xiaofeng (doctor of Beijing People's Hospital): I have been in the hospital for almost two months. After conditioning, I should say it's good. Mainly after hospitalization, her dialysis was regular and sufficient, so I feel much better. For example, my blood pressure is basically stable, and overall it is ok. At present, the operation should be said to have no contraindications, which is a better opportunity.
Knowing that his wife was going to have an operation this day, Beijing volunteer Xie also rushed to the hospital and brought the operation fee.
X: Actually, I helped me through this difficulty. I was mainly inspired by his love and righteousness to help him, because you think that in this upper class, this money worship, pursuer's money is supreme. So now, in his situation, he can play for Jin Xunhua, although Jin Xunhua did stop him at that time, so he has been guarding Jin Xunhua's grave with such heavy affection and righteousness for so many years. I now feel that this kind of heavy sentiment is heavy.
We can finally operate. On this day, Chen Jian and his wife were both excited and excited.
Because the operation needs to be carried out in a strictly sterilized operating room, in order to avoid interference, we did not film the operation process. On the second day after Chao Yazhen's operation, news came from the hospital that the kidney transplant operation was very successful.
On the 1 1 day after operation, the reporter rushed to the hospital again.
Wang Xiaofeng (Doctor, Beijing People's Hospital): It should be said that the operation went smoothly. We did it for more than two hours, and the operation was finished. After the operation, urine flowed out of the ureter immediately, which proved that the function of the kidney was still very good. Then on the third day after operation, her renal function basically returned to normal, and her blood test was basically normal. It's 1 1 day.
After the success of the operation, volunteer Xie told reporters that he would continue to support the recovery treatment of Chao Yazhen in Beijing, but after Chao Yazhen returned to Heilongjiang, he still needed a long-term medical expense. Xie hopes that more volunteers will join him to fund the later treatment of Chao Yazhen.
With the help of all good people, Chen Jian's two wishes have finally come true. Chen Jian said that he never thought that his commitment touched so many people, and his 36-year commitment also made him feel so much care.
Chen Jian: After my daughter-in-law got well, I stayed at her grave with her, because these kind people, Mr. Xie and a boss in Fujian, helped to repair Mr. Xin's grave. They were also moved by my spirit of guarding Jin Xunhua's grave, so I can't live up to their wishes. I will stay in Heilongjiang to see Jin Xunhua.
