Main examples:
17 years old, working as a temporary worker with his father in Zhalong Nature Reserve, Qiqihar City, responsible for raising tame cranes. Her father is a crane protection engineer in Zhalong Nature Reserve, and her mother raised cranes in Zhalong Nature Reserve for 10 years. 1983, she was responsible for raising young cranes there, and the survival rate of young cranes reached 100%. Therefore, the techniques of incubating, raising and taming cranes in Zhalong Nature Reserve are well-known at home and abroad. David George and Akibo, presidents of the International Crane Foundation, even called it "OK" after visiting. Xu Xiujuan is also concerned by the film and television circles and the press, and public opinion calls her "the first crane tamer in China".
198 1 year, due to the closure of local high schools, 17-year-old Xu Xiujuan went to Zhalong Nature Reserve with her father to raise cranes, becoming the first crane girl in Xu Xiujuan. She quickly mastered the whole set of techniques for raising, grazing, breeding, hatching and brooding rare birds such as red-crowned cranes, white-naped cranes and decaying-feather cranes, and the survival rate of her young cranes reached 100%.
1March, 985, Xu Xiujuan went to the department of wildlife of Northeast Forestry University for further study at his own expense. Although the school considered her practical difficulties and reduced her tuition by half, she still couldn't afford a meal of sixty cents a day, and she persisted in studying hard with steamed bread and pickles every day. In the second semester, because she couldn't afford the tuition, her life was unsustainable. She once gave blood several times behind her teachers and classmates' backs, in exchange for some money to maintain her studies. Later, she decided to reduce her two-year study to one and a half years. After hard work, in the final exam, 1 1 scored "excellent" or above 85 points. During this period, she also taught herself English. It was not until her death that people found out in her diary written in English that she exchanged blood for money.
1986 In May, Xu Xiujuan, who just graduated from Northeast Forestry University, received an invitation from Yancheng Nature Reserve, hoping that she could work in Sheyang Beach. Yancheng Nature Reserve echoes Zhalong from afar, one south and one north, and is the main wintering place for red-crowned cranes. If the non-migratory wild population of red-crowned cranes can be established in this place, it will be a major breakthrough, and perhaps this is a world-class scientific and technological topic. Xu Xiujuan persuaded her grandmother, parents and siblings to leave Zhalong Nature Reserve in Qiqihar, which she was familiar with, not far from Wan Li, and went down to Sheyang alone. This is the main wintering ground for red-crowned cranes. There are large beaches and swamps full of reeds and Artemisia halophila. A cascade river from north to south naturally separates the swamp from the village and becomes an ideal habitat for red-crowned cranes. In Yancheng Nature Reserve, Xu Xiujuan's talents have been brought into full play. And use the theoretical knowledge learned to learn crane feeding technology. The paper written by Xu Xiujuan was well received by experts at the third meeting of the Joint Protection Committee of Cranes held in China in 1986.
Xu Xiujuan went to the wintering ground where the red-crowned crane migrated and the Yancheng Nature Reserve in Jiangsu Province, which is under construction, and took three crane eggs with him. This is a gift from Xiujuan to Yancheng Nature Reserve. Three crane eggs are three future cranes to her. Xu Xiujuan took care of the three crane eggs with an artificial leather bag, a warm water bag, half a catty of absorbent cotton and a thermometer. Eggs are packed in artificial leather bags, and cranes will not hatch if the temperature and humidity change slightly. If the boiling water is cut off on the train, she still has to hold the crane eggs in her arms, because the body temperature is about 37 degrees. In this way, the train and the car went all the way, and the little crane finally hatched. The three little cranes are called Longlong, Dandan and Sasha by Xiujuan respectively.
No one knows how Sanhe Egg Xiujuan has been taken care of; But people know that in the most advanced incubator imported from the United States, Xiaohe also died.
After 83 days and nights of careful care, the three little cranes finally spread their wings and flew into the blue sky.
Xu Xiujuan loves these creatures deeply, and cranes have become an inseparable part of her life.
At that time, the best building in the crane yard was an abandoned post with two floors, each of which was less than 6 square meters. There is no doubt that since it is a paradise for birds, it cannot be a prosperous hometown that human beings yearn for. Needless to say, the wind is whistling, the tide is roaring, birds are singing and animals are crying. These are even more indispensable symphonies, and the conditions are even worse than Xu Xiujuan expected.
But Xiujuan girl did not have the slightest fear and retreat, and immediately went to work. Without advanced incubation equipment, a heatable adobe sleeping platform was built with crane eggs, the treasure of Xu Xiujuan. She and two assistants guard day and night for fear that the temperature will get out of control-neither hot nor cold. These babies are a knot in one's heart!
Finally, one day, there was a "beep" sound from an eggshell, which was lower than the sound of a match falling to the ground; The sound is so high that it can break through the clouds and go straight to the sky.
This sound is a March before the birth of a new life. This sound indicates that a miracle will occur: the red-crowned crane successfully hatches in the low-latitude wintering area-this is a world-class problem!
Raising cranes is the most tiring job in the reserve. Xu Xiujuan carried water, prepared food, fed cranes, set them free, cleaned their houses, and treated and cared for sick cranes. The survival rate of her young cranes raised by herself reached 1.000%. Domestic cranes can listen to people dancing and flying. State leaders visited the Nature Reserve and watched the crane training performance in Xu Xiujuan. The crane training technology in Zhalong Nature Reserve is well-known at home and abroad.
1June, 987, Xu Xiujuan arrived in Yancheng from home with two swans brought from Inner Mongolia. She called them Dawn and Mu Ren.
For Xu Xiujuan, this year is full of troubles, and people can't see her inner pain. At the turn of spring and summer, Pan Pan, a white-naped crane, and Dandan, a red-crowned crane, died after touching the net one after another. The demoiselle crane and young geese brought back from Hulunbeier grassland were infected with germs and died, or were eaten by other animals. Xu Xiujuan felt pain and disappointment, but it was followed by a more desperate pursuit of perfection.
At dawn, the white swan was ill again, with bloody stool and diarrhea.
It was a hot summer, and there were many mosquitoes on Yancheng Beach. Xu Xiujuan brought Dawn back to the dormitory, put her on the bed, put down the mosquito net, fed her medicine and gave her a fan. The dawn of diarrhea made Xu Xiujuan's beds and dormitories stink everywhere. A clean girl and a dirty girl are so perfect in Xu Xiujuan. Only Xu Xiujuan can tell the difference between accompanying a bedridden patient and a dying white swan. Xu Xiujuan can't eat well or sleep well, so he guards and observes Dawn's illness day and night. Dawn can't speak. She can only answer Xu Xiujuan's anxious hiss with painful eyes or occasional groans: Dawn, are you better? Dawn, I know you're not feeling well. My sister gave you medicine ... Suddenly, Xu Xiujuan remembered a remedy for diarrhea in Northeast China, boiled eggs with sugar. Dawn loves to eat, and the bleeding stops, and she returns to the crane farm at dawn.
Xu Xiujuan escort dawn only eight days and eight nights.
The disease of White Swan Dawn has just improved. Red-crowned crane dragon is dying after eating parasites by mistake. Xu Xiujuan, who is sick, supports taking care of Longlong and giving it injections and medicine. On August 13, Longlongkou vomited blood and died. Xu Xiujuan and Longlong cried together. On the 20th, she wrote on the back of the photo of Longlong:
The late Longlong can no longer get my love, and its death has turned my life around. I chose a more rugged road, maybe the blood of youth will spill on this road, and I will fight for it all my life.
Misfortune always follows. Of course, the so-called misfortune is that it is unfortunate only when you think it is unfortunate, and it is unfortunate only when you devote yourself wholeheartedly. It is painful and has just been destroyed. We have seen too many such examples: a person was recognized only after his death, but he was always robbed before his death and could do nothing.
Then on September 15, the white swan Muren and Dawn disappeared. At noon that day, two swans were singing in the cage. Xu Xiujuan thought they wanted to come out and play in the water, so he took them to the pond. Unexpectedly, Mu Ren and Li Ming had a good time. They broke free from the rope that bound them and flew away. Xu Xiujuan hurried to catch up, and after a pause. Ludang, swamp, suddenly became so strange, so vast, so worrying, until the evening, Mu Ren came back, and the dawn was still missing. Late at night, Xu Xiujuan waited for everyone to rest, then got into the reeds alone and called for dawn. The next morning, Xu Xiujuan went to look for it again. I came back at noon and drank half a bowl of porridge before entering Ludang. When he returned to the crane yard at 5 pm, he was exhausted. Before people could sit still, Li Dad shouted from a distance, and the sound of swans came from the west. Xu Xiujuan, Wang and Xiao Duan rushed out of the gate together and came to the opposite river. Xiao Wang and Xiao Yin swam past, and Xu Xiujuan shouted, "I can't do it!"
She returned to the shore and found a bike. She detoured north along the river bank, trying to see Xiao Wang and Xiao Yin. I don't know whether she can't get on the train against the wind or why. Xu Xiujuan returned to the place where he had just entered the water, put down his bike and walked into the opposite lake river without taking off his shoes and clothes. ...
She is going to wade across the river.
She will cross the river without a boat or a bridge.
Can she only cross the river to meet the swan?
Four hours later, at dawn, Xu Xiujuan was gone. This night, in the quiet night of China, an ordinary city1September, 987 16, Yancheng Beach and Ludang were full of "Juanzi!" The cry of Juanzi.
Juanzi had already left ... when he was only 23 years old.
The road traveled by the lost years.
She also left some plain words:
"Spring is the easiest time to drop cranes."
The crane room should be cleaned.
I am most afraid of others gossiping. I really want to be a mute, a blind man, a wooden head without blood and meat. However, I love cranes and nature. As soon as we entered the wilderness, all the unpleasant things were forgotten. I am willing to look for ideals, friendship and answers to life in the vast wasteland.
It's cold! Oh, it's snowing all over the sky. The northeast wind roared. At first, it was snow as big as a grain of rice, which hurt my face. Later, gentle snowflakes fell on my body and face. I rode my bike quickly, wondering what's the difference between this snow and the snow in the north? The snow in the north is a white sea of snow. The snow here is the snow in the air. When it falls to the ground, it becomes water.
The reeds germinated half a month ago, and now the thatch has sprouted.
Little cranes can fly far away. ...
On September 18, White Swan Dawn and Mu Ren flew back, but they never saw Xiujuan, who saved their lives. They saw more than 1000 people get together to hold a ceremony. Xu Xiujuan was only 23 when he died. On that day, a total solar eclipse appeared in the sky. Xu Xiujuan was the first martyr who died in the line of duty on the environmental front in China. She dedicated her 23-year-old youth to the cause of raising cranes that she loved and worked hard for all her life.
To commemorate this young crane angel, memorial halls and monuments were set up in Yancheng, Jiangsu Province and Zhalong Nature Reserve, Qiqihar City, respectively, to publicize Xu Xiujuan's deeds and inspire people's enthusiasm for loving nature, protecting wild animals and living in harmony with nature. In addition, Xu Xiujuan martyr is the prototype of the little girl who died to save the red-crowned crane in the song A Dream of Red Mansions. In addition, one of Xu Xiujuan's works, The Grey Starling, was also selected by Jiangsu Education Publishing House as the second volume of the fifth grade primary school Chinese text. It is this text that makes more children know and understand this great elder sister.
