? Shi Guangzhu, a Vietnam War hero: I lost my eyes, but I got love.
"War hero" Shi Guangzhu is almost a household name. He is also a "blind poet" with a bachelor's degree. When it comes to his wife Zhang Xiaojun, I'm afraid few people know. & gt Zhang Xiaojun is a beautiful intellectual woman. Since 1980s, she has walked 14 "365 Li" hand in hand with the people she respects and loves, and composed an earth-shattering love song with her blind husband. & gt "I am willing to be your eyes and accompany you through life. & gt 1984, Shi Guangzhu, a border guard, was seriously injured and became blind in the battle to defend the frontier. After the war, he was awarded the title of "combat hero" by the Central Military Commission. & gt Good women love heroes. After Shi Guangzhu's heroic deeds were publicized by the media, with the "hero craze", courtship letters from girls from all over the country rained down on Shi Guangzhu. A letter written by a Beijing girl named Zhang Xiaojun touched him most. The letter said: "I would like to be your eyes and accompany you through your life." & gt Graduated from Zhang Xiaojun University and now lives in Beijing. He has excellent family conditions and an enviable job. Influenced by the environment, she worshipped soldiers since she was a child. Shi Guangzhu's heroic deeds and reports, I don't know how many times she has seen them on TV and newspapers, tearing up her skirt every time. She deeply felt that the flowers and applause like spring are always temporary, and after the warm summer, the winter of life will come. By his side, there must be a woman who really loves him and can drive away the cold current and shelter him from the wind and rain. & gt Soon, Shi Guangzhu went to Beijing to give a report. She immediately inquired about the headquarters of the report team and got up the courage to go into Shi Guangzhu's room. She changed her old shyness and kept asking about the changes in temperature in Shi Guangzhu, offering tea and water. Her manners reveal the unique enthusiasm and simplicity of Beijing girls. When she was talking to Shi Guangzhu, a report director kept staring at her. She suddenly lost her temper: "You always stare at * * *? & gt > You are in love with him, so I have to check it out! The explanation of the leader made Xiaojun suddenly feel heavy. It seems that this is the entrustment of all soldiers and even the people of the whole country. & gt After the news came out that Zhang Xiaojun was going to marry a blind man, relatives and friends flocked to him. Some said, with the conditions of Zhang Xiaojun, you can't find any objects. Why do you have to find a blind man and jump into the fire resistance? Some advised her: "Don't be emotional, there will be endless tears left for you!" " ! & gt In the face of all kinds of persuasion, even Shi Guangzhu, who likes Zhang Xiaojun very much, is embarrassed, but Zhang Xiaojun firmly tells Shi Guangzhu, "I am willing to be your eyes and accompany you through life! & gt 1987 At the beginning of this year, Zhang Xiaojun and Shi Guangzhu embarked on a boat of life hand in hand, helping each other in the same boat. > I am your crutch to accompany you to climb the ideal peak. & gt Shi Guangzhu has always liked literature. After he lost his sight, writing poetry and writing became his pursuit and "enjoyment". Deeply moved, the leader of Shenzhen University decided to admit him as a Chinese Department student. With the letter of acceptance, Shi Guangzhu was both happy and worried. I'm glad he realized his dream of college, but I'm afraid he is blind and has only a junior high school education. Four years of undergraduate examination is undoubtedly climbing a peak. & gt Shi Guangzhu is a hero after all, facing difficulties. He can't see with his eyes, and hearing loss caused by war injuries makes it difficult for him to study. Many times, he will ask his classmates to help him make up lessons after class, or borrow his classmates' notes to "listen". When Zhang Xiaojun learned about this, he gave up his good job in Beijing and rushed to Shenzhen to be a "chaperone" for her husband. The arrival of>'s wife made Shi Guangzhu feel like a ray of sunshine in the dark. Every day when the bell rings, Zhang Xiaojun will help her husband walk into the classroom, explain in a low voice and take notes. In the evening, she is busy doing housework and rushing to help her husband with his homework. When her husband snores, she is still previewing under the lamp, or taking notes for her husband. & gt Literary creation is inseparable from life. Zhang Xiaojun often spends weekends and holidays with her husband to experience life outside campus. Shi Guangzhu grew up in remote mountainous areas of Yunnan, and grew up on the backs of cattle in rural areas when he was a child. He has never seen an airplane or a ship. Zhang Xiaojun tried to describe it for him. Shi Guangzhu wanted to "see" the sea, so she took him to the seaside to listen to the sound of the waves, touch and taste the seawater, and let him expand his imagination. & gt& gt What is the olive tree like? Shi Guangzhu's brain went blank. Zhang Xiaojun specially took him to see it, first described the shape of the olive tree to him, and then helped him touch the tree body and leaves. & gt Little Leaves > Send out small pieces of sadness > Little Fruit > Swing out a little melancholy > Little Birds > Call out a little sunshine > Later, this poem entitled "Olive Tree in My Heart" won the Dapeng Literature Award and became one of Shi Guangzhu's representative works. During his four years with Zhang Xiaojun, Shi Guangzhu achieved a leap from junior high school students to college students, and from soldiers to poets. Zhang Xiaojun paid unimaginable hardships for this. In the meantime, Zhang Xiaojun was pregnant with a child. From pregnancy to a month before labor, Zhang Xiaojun is always with a bulging belly and accompanies her every day, which has become a landscape of the school. As soon as the child was weaned, she threw it to her parents in Beijing and returned to her husband. With the help of Zhang Xiaojun, Shi Guangzhu not only completed all the courses in the university and obtained a bachelor's degree, but also published two books of poetry. & gt "I am an umbrella, always sheltering you from the wind and rain. & gt In the late 1980s, the wife of a "war hero" left her blind husband because she couldn't bear the hardships of life. At this time, people turned their attention to Shi Guangzhu and his wife. They are worried about whether Zhang Xiaojun can accompany the hero forever. Zhang Xiaojun accompanied her husband to finish college in the south, and the family returned to Beijing. In order to support her husband to concentrate on his creation, she supported a family by herself. Cooking, washing clothes, taking care of children, rice bags and gas tanks weighing 30 to 40 kilograms, she carried them from the first floor to the fifth floor in one breath. Every time I hear his wife's heavy breathing, Shi Guangzhu feels particularly guilty and uncomfortable. At this time, Zhang Xiaojun always learned the language when her husband wrote poems: "I am an umbrella, always sheltering you from the wind and rain. "In those years, Zhang Xiaojun worked in a restaurant. In order not to affect the care of her husband, she goes back and forth to work and home every day. In her hurry, she was hit by a bicycle many times, once almost killed by a car, and several times fell on the ice and snow road. Nevertheless, the family overload still makes her an advanced worker lose her job every year. She never complains. In order to make her husband live a better life, Zhang Xiaojun found many jobs in the society and worked hard. & gt In recent years, the Zhang Xiaojun family has been living a relatively poor life. Shi Guangzhu still has an army. Although he is a regimental officer, his salary is meager. Zhang Xiaojun hasn't got a decent dress yet. She never dares to set foot in some big shopping malls in Beijing. In order to reassure her husband, she "cheated" Shi Guangzhu many times and described her clothes worth several hundred yuan as "famous brands" worth several hundred yuan. Some local enterprises want to use Shi Guangzhu's name to produce brand-name products, but all of them are flatly rejected by Shi Guangzhu. He doesn't want to exchange his heroic image and reputation for economic benefits. In response to some people's accusations, Zhang Xiaojun not only sympathized with her husband, but also "quarreled" with those people. Zhang Xiaojun deeply understands her husband and respects and supports his choice. She said to her husband, "Since I am married to you, I will admit that I am poor and bitter. & gt Shi Guangzhu's hometown is in a poor mountain village in Malong County, Yunnan Province, and his father died before he joined the army. That year, I heard that he was blind in the battle. His mother cried for three days and nights and was in a trance. Family life has been difficult. Usually, Zhang Xiaojun often sends her mother-in-law living expenses. When money was tight, she kept borrowing money from her friends. Shi Guangzhu brother's tuition and living expenses, she also bear all down. Every year or two, Zhang Xiaojun will accompany her husband back to Yunnan to see her mother-in-law. The mess in poor rural areas is unimaginable for a Beijing girl, but she never dislikes it. In her mother-in-law's house, she often stays for half a month, cooking, washing clothes, combing her hair and other housework, and does it all day. The villagers all praised her. & gt For her husband's creative needs, she often accompanies him to experience life in frontier defense, islands, factories and rural areas. /kloc-in the summer of 0/997, Zhang Xiaojun went to * * * with her husband. The first time I set foot on the snowy plateau and looked at the surrounding snow-capped mountains and grasslands, Zhang Xiaojun was as happy as a child and kept introducing her to her husband. Before long, she had a headache, chest tightness and sweating all over. She was told that it was called mountain sickness and she had to lie down for a few days, otherwise her life would be in danger. But she told herself, "You can't get down when it's critical! & gt In Naqu, where the altitude is 4,500 meters and the climate is extremely bad, she is weak, overworked, vomiting and diarrhea, and her face is pale. As soon as she got off the bus, she did both-intravenous drip and oxygen infusion. In order to take care of her husband and not delay the interview, she lay in the health center for a long time, then pulled out the needle, holding an oxygen bag in one hand and an interview machine in the other, and began to assist her husband in his work. The trip to the plateau gave Shi Guangzhu great creative motivation. After returning to the mainland, he used the interview results of the couple to create a 200,000-word documentary prose collection "Hidden Soul and Heaven". Last April, when this collection of works was published by Yunnan People's Publishing House, Shi Guangzhu remembered what his wife had done for him, and wrote a poem for his wife with mixed feelings: > You are my bank > I borrow money from you every day > Maybe it's still unclear in my life > I often think > I gave the earth light > Why did I make you suffer from darkness > Love you > I stay away from the desert ... >.
