I used to be an ordinary rural youth who knew nothing about homesickness. Experienced the movement of the large corps, the collective labor of the production team, with their backs to the sky and the fields, barefoot in the fields every day, sweating and fighting for a new day. In the Great Leap Forward era (1959, 12), I responded to the call of the country to conquer military service, came to the navy's East China Sea Fleet, became a glorious people's navy soldier, and studied medical and health specialty. I grew up in the melting pot of the army, and I left my hometown, Fangjiabo, where I was born and raised. Therefore, my blood relationship and deep homesickness with my hometown mother in Shangyu have been flowing with my life. The longer you leave your hometown, the more homesick you become. The farther you leave your hometown, the deeper your homesickness becomes.
I was assigned to Xiamen Army, the front line of Fujian Province, after the expiration of my military training and medical major, and I stuck to the frontier of coastal defense, delivering medicines to the officers and men of the army and serving the army wholeheartedly.
At that time, Xiamen was the frontier, with frequent spies from the United States and Chiang Kai-shek, and the war situation was very tense. Xiamen is only separated from Jinmen and Mazu by a sea, and it is shelled at some time every week. This is a conventional war on the frontier of coastal defense. Through binoculars, we can clearly see that the Kuomintang troops in Taiwan Province Province stationed in Jinmen and Mazu are adjusting their defenses, digging air defense trenches and building military bases. On both sides of the strait, gunfire rumbled and flames flashed, and the fighting atmosphere was extremely tense.
I remember once, I went to yongningzhen, Quanzhou City, Fujian Province on business. It is a hometown of overseas Chinese, and you can swim to Kinmen, where the troops are on duty. A local villager came angrily and asked for a doctor, saying that someone in his family was sick and wanted to see a doctor. I asked the leader and went with my fellow villagers. I diagnosed my uncle's cold and fever and immediately took medicine and injections. When I return to the army, my fellow villagers must personally see me off. He said: "Today, the Kuomintang troops on Kinmen Island are going to have sex. I don't trust you to go back alone. " Sure enough, on the way, a gun came from Jinmen, which was muffled and loud, and the shell landed less than 100 meters away from me. In an instant, smoke filled the air, and shrapnel, flying stones and mud were flying all over the sky. Smart fellow villagers, quick-sighted and quick-witted, overwhelmed me to the ground. Before going back, he always escorted me back to the army safely, which shows that the soldiers and civilians at the front are affectionate.
1March 1966, I was demobilized and transferred to other places. He once worked in Gangwan Hospital of Guangzhou Huangpu Port Bureau of the Ministry of Communications, and engaged in traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture, physiotherapy, and male and female infertility clinics for more than 40 years. This is the beginning of my work in the local hospital and a new starting point of my life. Since then, I started my business and settled in Guangzhou, the southern gate of the motherland. Today, I am called my second hometown.
Time flies, the sun and the moon fly, and the years make people old. Recalling that I have lived in Guangzhou for 50 or 60 years, I can say that my career in Guangzhou has also done many good things for the people of Guangzhou. But when I think about it, I feel deeply sorry and guilty. I am ashamed of my hometown. I remember that in the 1980s and 1990s, the leaders of Shangyu Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government came to Guangzhou once a year to hold a Spring Festival group meeting with the concubine villagers, hoping that the concubine villagers in Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Hong Kong would return to their hometowns to invest and contribute to the construction of their hometown. At that time, I thought, I am an ordinary doctor, what can I do for my hometown?
I have been to Xiangxian Pavilion in Shangyu. Shangyu has so many outstanding rural sages, such as Hong Kong compatriot Jason, famous film director Xie Jin, Olympic hero He, and father of rare earths Xu Guangxian. They love their hometown, care about the construction of their hometown, and have made great contributions, which deeply moved me. The spirit of rural sages is the soul of hometown construction in the new period and the pride of Shangyu. They are worthy of being models of this great era, and they are also models for us to study abroad.
Long homesickness, pure heart. In the 1980s, I returned to Shangyu, my hometown after decades of absence. During the one-month holiday, except visiting relatives and friends, the rest of the time was spent doing free clinics for villagers, and three free clinics were held in Fenghui, Guanbai and Liang Long, an old revolutionary base area. At that time, many patients came from all directions. Although they are busy, they don't feel hard. I think it is my wish to see more doctors for people in my hometown and be optimistic about the disease. At that time, Guan's mother-in-law was hemiplegic for three months because of a stroke. I give her acupuncture, physical therapy and massage every day. After a month of careful treatment, Guan's hemiplegic limbs can finally stretch slowly and walk on the ground with crutches. Mr. and Mrs. Xu in Andu Village have been married for three years and have never given birth. After examination, the man's semen has problems. I used traditional Chinese and western medicine. The next year, the young couple came to thank them with a fat doll. In her grandmother's words, "how happy our family is to have a little grandson." ……
In rural areas, there are many chronic diseases, common diseases and frequently-occurring diseases, such as cervical spondylosis, scapulohumeral periarthritis, lumbar disc herniation and sciatica, which seriously affect the health of farmers. I deeply feel that as a doctor, it is my duty to see more doctors for the villagers quickly and economically, to be optimistic about the disease and to solve the suffering of patients. Whenever I see those patients with chronic diseases nodding and smiling at me, I feel extremely gratified and happy inside.
In the recent 10 years, I went back to my hometown once a year to serve my fellow villagers, taking my life as my greatest dedication and being a dream catcher who cares about my hometown. Hometown, in my heart forever.
