20 18, in a bank in Wuhan, a pair of elderly people over 60 years old came. Their hair is gray. The staff came forward to ask the old man what business he wanted to handle. The old man said he wanted to remit money, so the staff led the old man to the front desk to handle it. Who knows that the old man wired100000 to an account as soon as he opened his mouth.

The 85-year-old lady calculated an account for the staff and said that she would remit 3 million first and then 7 million. Hearing this amount, the staff thought it was wrong. After confirmation, the staff immediately increased their vigilance.

This is not a small sum. It seems that the two old people are not young. They were afraid that the old people would be cheated, so they called the leader. After meeting the leader, the old man insisted on sending money to this account.

I feel something is wrong, and the number involved is relatively large. To be on the safe side, the bank quickly called the police, hoping that the police could investigate clearly and prevent the elderly from being deceived.

Helpless, the old man had to show his identity. Only when he understood it clearly did he know that the story behind it was so touching. The identity of the old man also alarmed the government, and the past was exposed. So who are the 85-year-old Northeast couple dressed simply? Why is there so much money, and it comes from the old woman.

The old woman named Ma Xu was born in Mulan County, Harbin. 1932 When Ma Xu was born, the three northeastern provinces had been captured by the Japanese army, and everyone was living in dire straits. What's more, Ma Xu's family conditions are not good. Since childhood, he has lived a life of not having enough to eat and not wearing warm clothes, and he is always wary of the Japanese, and he is afraid almost every day.

In order to support the family, Ma Xu's father was exhausted early and died when she was very young. The family is supported only by her mother's thin shoulders. She witnessed the atrocities of the Japanese army since she was a child. Ma Xu was full of patriotic enthusiasm and secretly vowed to drive the Japanese out of China.

Ma Xu's mother is a storyteller and often takes Ma Xu to tell stories. Ma Xu heard many heroic stories from her mother. Although Ma Xu is a girl, she also has a heart to be a hero and has been working hard in this respect.

1946, with the surrender of the Japanese army, Mulan County, where Ma Xu was located, was also liberated. At that time, the People's Liberation Army was recruiting in the local area, and Ma Xu, who was only a teenager, did not hesitate to sign up. Her mother didn't stop her from her decision. Before leaving, she made Ma Xu the only eggs at home and asked her to take them to the road.

She never dreamed that her mother died of illness the year after she left, and she didn't see her mother for the last time. This has always been a sore spot in Ma Xu's heart. After arriving at the army, Ma Xu wanted to be at the forefront with his comrades.

However, considering that she is a girl and the army just lacks medical staff, Ma Xu obeyed the arrangement of the leader and was assigned to a medical team.

After Ma Xu joined the army, he took part in the Liaoshen Campaign and the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea. At that time, due to Ma Xu's young age, the army leaders considered letting her stay in the rear to take care of the wounded, but Ma Xu firmly opposed this preferential treatment. After all, near the battlefield is the best place to help the wounded.

Ma Xu led his troops to various battlefields and rescued his comrades in the nearest place. Although he is only a military doctor, he often shuttles through bullets and misses death many times. Because of his heroic performance on the battlefield, Ma Xu was awarded the Medal of Liberation after the war.

As for the old man around him, it is his husband Yan. They met on the battlefield to resist US aggression and aid Korea, and they were both military doctors on the battlefield. They have treated many wounded people together, and they slowly like each other and encourage each other on the battlefield. Fortunately, both of them got off the battlefield safely.

Ma Xu was later sent to the First Military Medical University for further study, and he also achieved good results in this respect, ranking among the best in school. After graduation, he was assigned to the General Hospital of Wuhan Military Region and became a doctor.

When I arrived at the hospital, I found that Yan also worked in this hospital. When two people who once had a good impression on each other meet again, they naturally have a spark of love and naturally become husband and wife. They have always been a model couple admired by everyone.

196 1 year, life in Ma Xu changed again. At that time, the army was forming China's first airborne troops. For this unexplored field, it is also dangerous. There are not many people who sign up, because it is a trial stage and the treatment is not very good.

Source map

For the newly established airborne troops, medical personnel are definitely indispensable. After hearing this, Ma Xu gave up his superior and comfortable job regardless of others' dissuasion, and decided to transfer to this unit to escort the soldiers.

After coming to the army, in the process of saving people, Ma Xu found a problem, that is, after the soldiers got on the plane, the medical staff could not follow them, so they had to wait in a fixed place and go again when necessary, which would delay a lot of time and be very unfavorable to the treatment of the wounded.

Considering this situation, Ma Xu made a suggestion to the army leaders, that is, skydiving with soldiers. There was no precedent for female skydiving before, and the leader also rejected Ma Xu's suggestion. Moreover, Ma Xu, whose height is only 153cm and weight is only 80 kg, failed to reach all the indexes.

However, Ma Xu was not discouraged. During her stay in the army, she also studied properly when she saw the soldiers training. I was kicked several times for fear that she would hurt herself. Ma Xu, with a stubborn temper, came up with a way and built a simple training platform by himself.

Source map

Ma Xu found a clearing in the army and set up a simple platform. After that, he insisted on training, but the leaders turned a deaf ear to it. They know it's no use even saying it. Ma Xu will find another way to go with her.

After training for a long time, Ma Xu finally danced better than some male soldiers, so Ma Xu finally got her wish and became a female paratrooper. Ma Xu, who parachuted for the first time, also performed very well, even surpassing most male soldiers and winning everyone's respect.

Source map

During her paratroopers career in Ma Xu, she parachuted more than 140 times. A female soldier who can skydive can imagine her role in airborne troops. She can always get to her injured comrades in time.

In order not to affect her skydiving, she was sterilized with the consent of her husband Yan, or her husband Yan personally performed the operation for her, so they had no children all their lives. But it didn't affect their feelings, instead, they spent all their energy on their careers.

As they grew older, they also retired, but they were not idle. They invented many patents one after another. The airborne ankle protector was designed by them, because this invention protected the safety of many soldiers.

Ma Xu spent most of her life in Wuhan. After retirement, she chose to settle in Wuhan. The idea of donating money was because she was old and missed her hometown, so she took her husband to Mulan County, Heilongjiang Province. Later, she found that many facilities in her hometown were not perfect.

So after discussing with her husband, she decided to donate their savings of100000 to her hometown. For the old couple, this is almost all the savings, and it is not easy to save this savings.

Ma Xu and his wife have been living in an abandoned barracks in the suburbs of Wuhan since they retired from the army. The yard also looks shabby, and there are even many cracks in the wall. Seeing this environment, absolutely no one can think that the old man is worth tens of millions.

The old couple usually wear camouflage clothes the most. For them, wearing military uniforms has become a habit. Camouflage clothes are sturdy and durable, all given by the army. In Ma Xu's eyes, a pair of 15 yuan shoes is already very good. Even on special occasions, he usually wears shoes previously issued by the army.

Eating is even more frugal. Noodles and porridge are their usual staple foods. They don't like meat. They have no requirement for food for half their lives in the army, as long as they can eat their stomachs.

The usual means of transportation is also an old bicycle that has been riding for more than ten years. It looks shabby. It can be said that this 6.5438+million is the frugality of the two old people.

In the past, everyone thought that the couple were too stingy. They never changed what they didn't wear out, but were stingy with themselves. Their life savings have been dedicated to their hometown and contributed to the construction of their hometown.

On 20 19, Mr. and Mrs. Ma Xu were also named as people who moved China on 20 18, and their comments were: endure poverty, keep a noble mind, and lifelong frugality is only a luxury. Their deeds are also known to more people.

Many people were moved after reading it. Ma Xu never thought that his behavior would have such a huge impact. He thought it was just one thing he could do. Money is useless to them. He has no children. All the money he got from the country was returned to the country.

Source map

The spirits of these two old people shocked many modern people and were moved by the love of their lives. Such selfless dedication is a model for us modern people to learn and the model of the times.

Although they have no children, they have struggled for their country for half their lives and donated all their savings. The country and people will not forget them. I wish the two old people a long life and enjoy their old age.
