19 14 was born in a poor peasant family. My grandfather was a tribute student, but my father couldn't read. Tu Tong studied in private schools and high schools for several years. 1929 The Red Army occupied Changting, Tu's father joined the Peasant Association and the Red Guards, Tu joined the Young Pioneers, and 1930 joined the county Soviet propaganda team.

Chronology of activities

19 14 was born in a poor peasant family. Tu Tong studied in private schools and high schools for several years.

1929, the Red Army occupied Changting, Tu's father joined the peasant association and the Red Guards, and Tu joined the Young Pioneers.

/kloc-joined the county Soviet propaganda team in 0/930.

1932, with the support of the Soviet representative father in the Soviet area, Tu resolutely joined the Chinese Red Army of Workers and Peasants. At that time, the Soviet area was in the period of anti-encirclement and suppression struggle, and the casualties of the battle made the Red Army's urgent need for medical staff stand out. It is in this case that Tu Jintong was immediately assigned to the General Hospital of Fujian Military Region after he joined the Red Army. On the second day of school, there was an exam entitled "Why do you want to study nursing". At first glance, Tu Jintong, a high school graduate, was shocked. Suddenly, he remembered a couplet on the gate of the hospital: "To save the heroic soldiers returning from the front and cultivate proletarian medical talents." By memory, he wrote this sentence word for word on the answer sheet. When the list was published, Tu Jintong ranked first!

After eight months of nursing work, Tu was selected to study in the Chinese Workers and Peasants Red Army Health School in Chaling, Xingguo County, Jiangxi Province. This is the starting point of his formal medical education. That is, during the intense study in the Red Army Health School, Tu Youyou joined the Communist Youth League of China today, and in the same year, he was transferred to party member, China.

1932 10 was admitted to nearly 30 students in the second phase of the Red Army Health School. Li Zhi was a full-time teacher at that time. The Red Army Health School was founded in 193 1 and began to be called the Red Army Military Medical School. He became the first principal, with 25 students in the first phase, including Zhang Ruguang, Liu Fang and You Shenghua. 1932 The Red Army Military Medical School was renamed the Red Army Health School.

1933, the Red Army Health School merged with the Red Medical College in Fu Lianzhang. Li Zhi is responsible for teaching anatomy, physiology and bacteria, while Sun Yizhi teaches pathology, internal medicine and diagnostics.

1933, Tu Youyou graduated today, and he is a military doctor of the 8th Regiment of the Red Third Division. Soon the Red 3 Division merged with the Red 12 Army to form the Red 9 Army Corps, and he still served as a military doctor in the Eighth Regiment. At the beginning of the Long March, he served as the resident hospital of Red 9 Army 1 attending doctor. After arriving in Zunyi, the resident hospital of the Red 9 Army was cancelled, and he was appointed as the director of the Health Center of the Red 9 Army Command. The Red 9 Corps was reorganized into the Red 32 Corps, and he served as the medical director of the Ministry of Health of the 96th Division. After the Long March, the division headquarters of the 96th division was placed under the command of the Central Education Department, and served as the president of the 1 division hospital and the medical director of the division health center. After the outbreak of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, Tu Youyou successively served as the chief of the medical department of the Fourth Rear Hospital of the Eighth Route Army, the deputy director of the cadre tuberculosis sanatorium and the chief of the medical department of the Second Rear Hospital of the Eighth Route Army.

1938 In early February, Tu was sent to the "special training class" of China Medical University in Yan 'an for further study. He met Wang Li here.

1940, the school was renamed China Medical University, where Tu studied for four years.

1942 graduated as the chief surgeon of Yan 'an International Peace Hospital. He once put out scabies for two regiments. During the War of Liberation, Tu Youyou was appointed as the Minister of Health of Songjiang Military Region, took over the Puppet Manchukuo Military Medical University in Harbin, and was later reorganized into Northeast Military Medical University, and concurrently served as the president.

On August 28th 1945, Tu Tong went to the Central Organization Department for instructions. Peng Zhen told him that the CPC Central Committee has made the decision of "expanding north and defending south", and most cadres of the Party School and Yan 'an will go to the northeast. Cadres who were scheduled to go to Shandong, Central South and East China will also change their direction and turn to the Northeast, and Tu Youyou is one of them. After bidding farewell to Wang Li in a hurry, Tu Youyou went to Shenyang first, and then followed Chen Yun to Harbin, where he became the health minister of Songjiang Military Region.

From 65438 to 0947, he served as the health minister of the East Line of the Logistics Department of the Northeast Democratic Allied Forces.

65438-0949 Deputy Minister of Health of Ye Si Logistics Department. After entering the customs, Ye Si served as the Deputy Minister of Health of the Logistics Department of the Central South Military Region, founded Huazhong Medical College, and concurrently served as Dean and Party Secretary.

195 1 year, Tu, Qian Xinzhong and Pan became the first people in New China to stay in Su Sheng. Tu Jintong was admitted to the Institute of Neurosurgery of the Soviet Academy of Medical Sciences with excellent results. During his study in the Soviet Union, Tu Jintong was proficient in Russian and achieved fruitful results in neurosurgery. He received an associate doctorate in 1955. After that, he studied in the special department of the Soviet Academy of Medical Sciences.

1956, Tu Youyou returned to China today, serving as vice president and president of the Fourth Military Medical University, vice minister of health of the General Logistics Department and president of the Academy of Military Medical Sciences. After the "September 13th Incident", Tu Youyou went to the General Hospital of the People's Liberation Army in Beijing to serve as acting dean and secretary, and presided over the work of the whole hospital. The Department of Neurosurgery of the Fourth Military Medical University was established in 65438-0956. The clinical practice of removing acoustic neuroma through supratentorial approach, cutting off trigeminal nerve and spinal cord bundle in medulla oblongata to treat trigeminal neuralgia, and removing brain tumor in the posterior part of the third ventricle has filled the gap in China and created a new situation in neurosurgery in China.

A doctor of medicine coming out of the Long March

There are doctors in the old Red Army. There are three people altogether. They are Qian Xinzhong, Tu and Pan.

Tu Jintong, a doctor in the 25,000-mile Long March, a general of China People's Liberation Army, a doctor studying abroad in the former Soviet Union, and the founder of neurosurgery in China.

Love had to happen

Two people destined to get married

1938 In early February, Tu was sent to the "special training class" of China Medical University in Yan 'an for further study. He met Wang Li here.

Wang Li, a native of Henan, was born in 1920. 1937 In August and September, the Japanese invasion of China reached its climax. Under the influence of progressive teachers and students, Wang Li, a junior one student in a middle school in her hometown, decided to put down her books and join the national salvation movement. After many twists and turns, the enlightened father took her 17 years old to the Eighth Route Army office in Xi 'an. People in the office told her that life in Yan 'an was very hard. She said that she was not afraid of hardship. People in the office asked her what she wanted to learn. She once saw the recruitment advertisement outside the door and blurted out: "study medicine." In this way, together with more than 60 progressive young people, she went from Xi to Yan 'an, first studied in the Fifth Brigade of Kangda University, then was mobilized to study medicine at Medical University, and was assigned to the ninth pharmaceutical adjustment class that had been incorporated into the Second Brigade of students. 1939, in order to strengthen the construction of base areas behind enemy lines, the CPC Central Committee decided to transfer all the staff of the Second Brigade and some schools to work in the base areas of Jicha and Shanxi. However, when we set out to cross the Yellow River, the second brigade was ordered to return to school in the ninth phase and was incorporated into a brigade including a "special training class" to continue studying.

The "special training class" and the ninth adjustment live in a yard and get along with each other day and night. Tu is the organizing Committee member of the brigade branch, and Wang Li is the leader of the ninth party group. They often get together to discuss problems, participate in production and organize cultural and sports activities. Gradually, Wang Li's enthusiasm, ability, perseverance and hard-working spirit left a deep impression in Tu's heart, which could not be erased. What shall we do? He often talks to Wang Li about his work as an organizing committee member, and the conversation lasts for half a day.

In fact, Tu Youyou is one of the countless Red Army cadres and students, who have made a long March of 25,000 Li in the Medical University. He has excellent academic performance and is also a model worker in the mass production movement. He is serious, steady and upright. Wang Li has a crush on him.

At that time, most lesbians in medical university went out to dance every weekend and festival, while Wang Li always stayed at home. She is very concerned about Tu Jintong, and often helps him wash clothes and mend clothes, or takes this opportunity to ask him questions.

Once, the students discussed together. Tu Tong came up to Wang Li today and whispered, "What are your plans after graduation?" Wang Li said cheerfully, "Go to the front to fight the Japanese devils." Tu Jintong asked again: "How to solve personal problems?" Wang Li was shocked, blushed to her ears, opened her mouth and didn't make any noise. She turned and ran away.

194 1 In the spring of, Wang Li graduated from the ninth adjustment and was assigned to the pharmacy of the field hospital of Liuwanjiagou left-behind corps in Yan 'an. Tu Tong was afraid that once she left, she would never hear from her again. After some ideological struggle, he specially rushed to Xihekou Pharmaceutical Factory where Wang Li practiced medicine to see her. However, I feel the harmonious heartbeat of the sacred unicorn, and the two loving hearts finally belong to each other. 194 1 May 1 On the beautiful Yanhe River, under the sacred Baota shan, Tu and Wang Li built a love nest together. The following spring, Tu Tong graduated from Medical University and was assigned to work in Yan 'an International Peace Hospital. Wang Lisheng gave birth to a boy named Tu Liuguo.

After liberation, Tu was ordered to run a medical school in Nanchang. Wang Li gave up her career in Wuhan with three children. After arriving in Nanchang, the local health department was in urgent need of talents and had to ask Wang Li for help. Therefore, Wang Li became a demobilized soldier without any formalities until he retired. Whenever this matter is mentioned, there are many regrets in Wang Li's words, but she doesn't complain.

Find the health information of the Red Army from Harvard Yanjing Library.

Most of the information about the Red Army's health work was lost during the war years, but some of it was found in the Yanjing Library of Harvard University in the 1990s. To this end, I specially visited General Gao Enxian, the former director of the Political Department of the Academy of Military Medical Sciences and now retired.

"This should be attributed to Chen Cheng, commander-in-chief of the Kuomintang encirclement and suppression Soviet area. At that time, he gave an order: all written materials obtained from the Soviet area, even a word, should be handed in. Unexpectedly, the reference room (Chen Sou) he set up to collect information about the Red Army saved a lot of valuable information for us. Chen Cheng settled in the United States in his later years and gave these materials to Harvard University before his death. After the founding of New China, we searched in China for decades, but we couldn't find these materials. But in the 1950s, we learned the whereabouts of these things, but we didn't know their contents. It was not until my granddaughter was in high school in the United States in the 1990 s that she got in touch with the Harvard Yanjing Library, and got a catalogue of materials from an American Chinese, Ms. Wu, and finally got a piece of information about the health of the Red Army. "

This batch of data returned from the United States has been recorded in the history of medical education of China People's Liberation Army. I found the name "Tu" among 28 students on the second list of the Red Army Health School. It can be seen from the "Introduction to Enrollment of the Fourth Red Army Health School" that the medical education of the Red Army at that time was mainly practical and quite comprehensive. The courses listed are as follows: anatomy, physiology, histology, pharmacology, diagnostics, bacteriology, foreign languages (Japanese and German), pathology, internal medicine, surgery, health service, skin and willow, otolaryngology, military health, etc.

"The treatment conditions in the Long March are unimaginable now."

Mao Zedong said, "Ever since Pangu created the world, three emperors and five emperors, has there been a long March like ours in history? In the middle of twelve months, there were dozens of planes reconnaissance and bombing in the sky every day, and hundreds of thousands of troops pursued and intercepted underground. On the way, we encountered untold difficulties and obstacles, but we still started everyone's feet and traveled more than 20 thousand miles, covering 12 provinces. Excuse me, has there been a long March like ours in history? No, never. " Reviewing this passage, we are still shocked-nothing is more accurate than its summary of the greatness and hardship of the Long March.

At the beginning of the Long March, Tu Jintong was transferred from the doctor of the Eighth Regiment of the Ninth Army to the attending doctor of the Military Station Hospital. He was 20 years old that year.

General Tu recalled: "Our regiment was in the position of right-back during the Long March, and one of its important tasks was to accommodate the wounded and sick left by the main force. In case of enemy situation, the Red Army often has to March in a hurry or by force, sometimes traveling hundreds of miles around the clock, and many troops are weak and left behind. If there is a battle, there will be a large number of wounded people coming down, and our medical staff will be desperate to save the wounded. " "The treatment conditions at that time were unimaginable now: it would be very good to find a door panel and set up an operating table. The scalpel was replaced by civilian scissors, and the quilt was torn into strips without bandages. Someone has to light it with an oil lamp. Drugs and medical devices are priceless. In the 1930s, there were very few drugs for disinfection and anti-infection, especially during the Long March. Limited by technical and material conditions, at that time, we could only do some disinfection, dressing, fixation, hemostasis, suture, bullet removal, bone chips removal and other disposal and minor operations. As for amputation and visceral surgery, we can't do it at all. I have saved countless wounded people. Now it seems that many comrades lost their lives because they didn't get the chance of surgery and blood transfusion. "

"My assistant, a young man in his early 20 s, surnamed Yang, is very willing, lovely and obedient. At first he had a stomachache, so he endured marching and fighting. Later, my stomach became bigger and bigger, and I knew it might be appendicitis, but there were no antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs. Finally, his intestine was perforated and he watched it die. When I arrived near Maotai Town on the Chishui River, everyone was buried in tears and mourned for him. "

What is the most common disease in the Long March?

"When I was in the Soviet area, Minister of General Health He Cheng summarized four common diseases: malaria, dysentery, scabies, and leg ulcers. During the Long March, war wounds, pneumonia and typhoid fever were added, and gastrointestinal diseases were the first. More importantly, marching long distances, starving and freezing, and ensuring the health of the troops are the direct guarantee of combat effectiveness. In order to prevent and reduce diseases, health personnel also shoulder the task of imparting health and disease prevention knowledge to the troops. For example, tell the troops to drink boiled water, not water from rivers and ponds, and try to drink well water when there is no condition to boil water. In addition, marching and fighting all rely on one leg and one foot, and the troops play leggings to avoid bites, scratches and lower limb ulceration. According to our experience, when troops arrive at the campsite, they should try to soak their feet with hot water and do "foot-inversion exercises" when sleeping, which can improve the blood circulation of their feet and prevent foot pain and blisters. Therefore, no matter how difficult the conditions are, each class has to carry two pots, one for washing feet and the other for boiling water. "

"I will never forget the pain of crossing the snowy mountains and grasslands."

Snow Mountain Grassland is the place where I don't know how many Red Army soldiers are buried.

Crossing the snowy mountains and grasslands is a difficult choice made by the CPC Central Committee to avoid the powerful forces of the enemy. But here, although the Red Army avoided the attack of the Kuomintang troops, the extremely harsh natural environment brought no less pain and sacrifice than the casualties in the battle. In this regard, General Tu had a bitter experience.

"The Snow Mountain is 5000 meters above sea level, with snow all year round. There are often seven, eight or even ten winds. There is no other way to find the mountain except the narrow path taken by ethnic minorities. In fact, the troops asked the locals before going up the mountain, chose the best time and had a guide to lead the way. They also educate all commanders and soldiers and ask them to prepare for protection, such as protecting their eyes with colored cotton yarn to prevent snow blindness; On the day of going up the mountain, eat and wear warm clothes and bring boiling water; Each person prepares a stick or crutch for exploring the road; Walk slowly up the hill, one footprint after another, so as not to get stuck in the snow pit. But even so, everyone felt unexpected difficulties when climbing the snow-capped mountains. Every step is hard, everyone is panting, his face is blue, and he is obviously short of oxygen. This is actually a lack of mountain response, but I didn't know the disease at the time. "

Salisbury wrote in the book Long March-An Unprecedented Story: "Although everyone was very tired after months of marching and lack of food, climbing the snow-capped mountains seemed to be smooth, it didn't take long for them to enter a world of ice and snow. My eyes suddenly disappeared. There is no road on the mountain. I slipped on the ice and struggled to climb forward, but I didn't have the strength, but no one thought of death. I didn't know that oxygen was so thin on mountains at an altitude of 14 thousand or 15 thousand feet. Some people struggle to stand up, but they fall down forever. "

When crossing the grass, Tu was the director of the 8 th Regiment Health Center of the 32 nd Army of the Left Army. "Our troops set out from Ganzi, passed through Aba and walked to Lazikou for more than 40 days. The grassland is endless, with an altitude of more than 4000 meters. The air is thin and the climate is changeable. When it rains, it rains and hails. There is grass everywhere and no wood. Most of them are aquatic plants except the slightly dry hillside. You can only walk on the chopping block when you walk. If you are not careful, you are in danger of falling into the mud pit. Because of the thin air and lack of oxygen, the soldiers all looked pale, so the marching speed slowed down. Even if they walk slowly, they will feel tired, panting and even fall down. In this case, we treat some patients by injecting cardiotonic needle or smelling camphor alcohol. For more than 40 days, we have already eaten all the food we brought, and we are hungry and cold, and many people can't get up when they fall. We collect wild vegetables to satisfy our hunger and even cook our belts and shoes. More than 65,438+00 people got a yak to carry food. When the food is finished, we have to kill it and eat it. "

"No matter how hard and tired we are, our health workers can't be a little sloppy. After arriving at the campsite every day, we first choose a relatively dry hillside, set up a tent and a stove, pick up dry cow dung to make a fire, disinfect medical equipment, treat patients, change medicine, including scalding feet and eating. Our medical staff also try their best to help them. Once, we were about to set up a tent to pick up cow dung. Suddenly, the weather changed suddenly, rain and hail came together, and more than a dozen people were soaked. Cow dung is wet and the fire won't light. We are really hard and anxious. As soon as the storm was over, stars were everywhere, and we began to work again. Rest is sometimes more important to us than eating. "

"It's unforgettable to suffer from the snow-capped mountains and grasslands. 1949 10 June 10 When Chairman Mao announced at the gate that the people of China had stood up from now on, "General Tu didn't say more, and his lips trembled. In my two interviews, he shed tears for the first time. I know, he remembered the sacrifice of his comrades who failed to see New China on the way to the Long March.

The Golden Boy in Salisbury's Eyes

1984, 76-year-old Harrison Salisbury, deputy editor-in-chief of The New York Times and chairman of the All-American Writers' Association, came to China for the fifth time, hoping to realize a dream for many years-to understand the Long March and take the Long March road. This veteran journalist has a special interest in the major events that influenced the development of the human world in the 20th century. He once served as a Soviet war correspondent in World War II with edgar snow. He learned many legendary stories about the Long March of the Chinese Red Army of Workers and Peasants from Si Nuo, which he has been obsessed with for many years. That year, he spent more than two months, with a pacemaker and typewriter, along the Red Army's Long March route with his wife. "Mainly by jeep, bus and command car, marching where the Red Army men and women have completely passed." At that time, he also interviewed many survivors of the Long March and senior cadres of our party and army. Tu Jintong, then president of the Academy of Military Medical Sciences, and Sun Yizhi, former Minister of Health of the General Logistics Department, also accepted an interview with Salisbury.

It was a spring morning. At the Beijing International Club Hotel, Salisbury, with a young assistant, sat opposite two generals of China. During the two-hour conversation, Tu Jintong systematically introduced to him the health work in the Long March of the Red Army. Later, Salisbury described Tu Jintong in the book Long March-An Unprecedented Story published in 1986: "Dr. Tu Jintong was the director of the PLA Medical Research Institute in 1984. He is tall, silver-gray hair, handsome, wearing horny glasses, and his words are rigorous and authoritative. He said that thin air makes people weak. Everyone fell into the mire, just like the clay figurine unearthed in Xi 'an. Doctors use camphor and smelling salts to save comatose people, but some people will never wake up. "

Become an independent pillar

After the test of the Long March, after arriving in the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region, Tu Youyou was transferred to the Health Department of the Central Instructor, and successively served as the president and medical director of the directly affiliated hospital. During his tenure in many hospitals, Tu Jintong felt that his medical skills and medical theories were far from meeting the needs of the revolution. After the outbreak of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, many Long March cadres took up leadership positions, but Tu Youyou did not think that technical work was inadequate and was determined to take the road of knowledge-based workers and peasants cadres. 1938, he entered the Eighth Route Army Health School, the highest medical institution in the revolution, which was later China Medical University, and stepped onto a broader stage of life.

From 65438 to 0942, Tu was assigned to Yan 'an Bethune International Peace Hospital as an attending doctor. During his three years here, Tu Jintong completed the transformation from a general doctor in the army to a surgeon. It is also from here that Tu Jintong has gradually become the pillar of our military medical work. 1943, he creatively wiped out 1500 soldiers in Yan' an in three weeks; During the War of Liberation, he served as the Minister of Health of the Northeast Songjiang Military Region, the Minister of Health of the East Line of the Northeast Democratic Allied Forces, and the Deputy Minister of Health of the Northeast Field Army and the Fourth Field Army. During this period, he took over the Puppet Manchuria Hospital, trained medical cadres, established a military medical school, and trained many medical workers for the soldiers. During the Liaoshen Campaign, he directed and deployed more than 60,000 wounded people for treatment, which ensured a treatment rate of 70%. Because of his excellent work, he was sent to Xibaipo at the beginning of 1949 to report to Vice President Zhou Enlai.

Studying in the Soviet Union and becoming a doctor of the Red Army.

195 1 year, the state sent 200 students to study in the Soviet union, including 30 Chinese medicine students, all of whom were graduate students, each studying a major. Tu's task is to study neurosurgery and prepare for the establishment of neurosurgery in China after returning home. Qian Xinzhong (94 years old, former Minister of Health) and Pan (former Vice President of Academy of Military Medical Sciences, 196 1 Sacrifice), two Red Army cadres, studied health care histology and general surgery respectively.

At the Boldenko Institute of Neurosurgery in Moscow, the Soviet Union, when Tu Jintong was introduced as an old Red Army who had participated in the 25,000-mile Long March, the audience applauded warmly, and some even called out the name of Mao Zedong. Tu Jintong is very proud.

However, neurosurgery is a brand-new field for him. The golden boy didn't flinch. With hard work, experience and the spirit of the Long March, he completed his studies in neurophysiology, neurosurgery and neuroanatomy and mastered fluent Russian. 1In July, 955, the defense of Tu's doctoral thesis "Diagnosis and treatment of trigeminal ganglion and its posterior root tumors" was unanimously approved by the Academic Degrees Committee of the Soviet Academy of Medical Sciences, thus obtaining the associate doctor's degree in Soviet medicine. He is 4 1 year old.

After returning to China, Tu founded the neurosurgery training center of the whole army in the Fourth Military Medical University. Since then, Tu, as a neurosurgeon and educator, has made outstanding contributions to the medical cause of our army. He has served as vice president and president of the Fourth Medical University, deputy minister of health of the General Logistics Department of the People's Liberation Army, and president of the Academy of Military Medical Sciences. 1964, he was awarded the rank of major general.

From general military doctors, to frequently-occurring and common diseases doctors, to surgeons, to neurosurgeons, Tu Jintong made his career. From country dolls to Red Army soldiers, to cadres of our army, to generals of China People's Liberation Army, Tu Jintong completed his belief track. As a couplet celebrating his ninetieth birthday said, "Dr. Tu Youyou's great cause saved lives and won the world reputation. The commander of the Golden Boy Bo Gu Military Academy worked hard and was full of peaches and plums."

Merit and honor

1964 was awarded the rank of Major General of the Chinese People's Liberation Army. He was awarded the third-class August 1st Medal, the third-class Independent Freedom Medal, the second-class August 1st Medal, the second-class Independent Freedom Medal, the second-class Liberation Medal and the first-class Red Star Meritorious Medal.

In 20 1 1 year, he was awarded the honor of outstanding Chinese in the field of medical education in the "Cambridge World Outstanding Chinese List (1st Session)".

1996, Tutong's hometown was flooded. Wang Li took out the money originally used to buy massagers, took out part of her living expenses and sent it to the disaster area 1000 yuan.

Soon, they heard that the students in a primary school in Changting County were poor and donated another 3,000 yuan.

A "Hope Bookstore" was built for a primary school in Changting County, and it was sent to 600 yuan for the Association for the Promotion of Old Areas.

1999 Back in western Fujian, the old couple saw the poor facilities of a primary school in Changting and donated their only 1000 yuan to the school. Although there is not much money, it is the love of two old people.
