She is the first female paratrooper in New China. She has used her life to explain what a true heroine is!
In the war-torn era, 14-year-old Ma Xu joined the People's Liberation Army and participated in the Liao-Shen Campaign and the War of Resisting the US and Aid Korea. He has made many meritorious services and made great contributions to the country. As the first female paratrooper in New China, she has performed many difficult and dangerous missions. She and her wife saved tens of millions of savings all their lives by frugality. In her old age, she donated her life savings to school, and her best pair of shoes was red cotton shoes for 15 yuan.
In 1933, Ma Xu was born in a family of Chinese medicine practitioners in Mulan County, Heilongjiang. Her ancestors used to be court physicians in the Qing Dynasty, and her parents hope that she will inherit her ancestral business when she grows up, so that she can help the world. However, in 1947, 14-year-old Ma Xu joined the People's Liberation Army and became a military doctor. He joined the army in battles such as the Liberation War and the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and belonged to the same division as the battle hero Huang Jiguang.
With his increasingly sophisticated medical skills, Ma Xu saved the lives of countless soldiers on the battlefield and was awarded the Liberation Medal and the Victory Medal. After returning to China, Ma Xu was sent to the First Military Medical University for further studies, and then assigned to work in the former General Hospital of Wuhan Military Region. In 1961, the People's Liberation Army Airborne Corps was established. As a military doctor, Ma Xu began to engage in medical support for parachuting training.
In the airborne troops, Ma Xu actively requested parachuting training and applied to become a paratrooper. In order to skydive, she even had a sterilization operation in the second month after marriage. After crazy devil training, Ma Xu has not lost the male soldier in the field of skydiving and has become an expert in the field of skydiving. As the first female paratrooper in New China,
set a record. Her petite body flashed in the jungles, snowy fields, blue seas and deserts of the motherland.
When he reached the age of 50, Ma Xu devoted himself to scientific research and was known as the "Mrs. Curie in the Army." She and her husband published more than 100 academic papers and experiences, and wrote "Physiology and Pathology of Airborne Soldiers" and "Basis of Physical Fitness and Psychological Training of Airborne Soldiers", which filled the gaps in my country's research in this area. In order to solve the worldwide problem that paratroopers are vulnerable to injury when landing, the "inflatable ankle protector" and the "individual plateau oxygen vest" were developed, which obtained national patents. After retiring at the age of 60, she hung up the pot to help the world and provide free consultation for the poor.
After Ma Xu retires, he has accumulated as much as 10 million in assets after years of savings and scientific research rewards! However, she and her husband are frugal and simple. She and her husband are crowded into a small house with very simple furnishings. There are many books and newspapers in the house, and they eat simple meals. The old couple never went to the mall to buy extra clothes for themselves, and they always wore clothes issued by the army. The most expensive pair of shoes Ma Xu wears on weekdays is a pair of red cotton shoes for 15 yuan.
However, the old man insisted on saving wages from his teeth for decades, together with the scientific research rewards of the two, eventually made up a huge sum of 10 million yuan, all donated to her hometown of Mulan County, she said education is her hope for her hometown The sustenance.
In 2018, Ma Xu and his wife came to the bank to transfer the first 3 million yuan donation. Because the old man was very old and the transfer amount was too large, the bank staff was worried that the old man was being deceived. Finally, the police even called the police. It was confirmed that it was a false alarm after investigation. In April 2019, Ma Xu and his wife remitted the second donation of 7 million yuan to their hometown, fulfilling their wish for donation.
Life is frugal, only for one luxury. This eighty-year-old used his life to explain what is truly great. In February 2019, Ma Xu was awarded "Moving China 2018 Person of the Year". In January 2020, Ma Xu and his wife returned to their hometown of Mulan County to celebrate the Spring Festival with their relatives and villagers. Twist Yangko and make dumplings with folks. This is the 87-year-old man. For the first time in 60 or 70 years, I went home to celebrate the New Year, and the deep homesickness that lingered in the old man's heart for a long time was released.
