Peng Yan Hai-Bo Zhao and Tibetan grandmother with photo

Editor’s Note: Recently, the media coverage of the Peng Yan’s story (the newspaper on June 3 position in the headlines, to “stick to the “life zone” the most beautiful Chinese women in the military “” in the title of the Peng Yan been reported). Peng Yan dedication in the highlands, warm spirit of service for the soldiers, the people moved thousands of readers in that people have lamented that she paid too for a long time, but she said he has been harvested in this, we compiled and distributed a Peng Yan readme, which breakdown of her “harvest”.

recent media coverage for many of my friends care about my experience in Nagqu, they have given me high praise for the media coverage and friends who care, my heart filled with infinite gratitude.

recall in Nagqu this extraordinary and full of hard 12 years, although her pay a lot, but carefully think about it, more of a harvest: harvest of the old plateau gave me moved, the harvest is Tibetan people for their support, the harvest is my pastoral patients who trust, the harvest is learn to persist in the work, tenacity, optimism, positive qualities … These gains are not a person by the occasional, accidental thing can be accomplished, but also a few simple words can not express out, it is quietly, over time, gradually the life of my own insights and feelings come.

arrived Nagqu fantasy when I was a naive girl. see the blue sky, green grass, romance will remember, however, for their work but I do not fully understand, is out of the inside of another female nurse – Section Shao Hui sister with her enthusiasm, dedication and the patient’s amiable, so I understand the true pursuit of medical workers plateau.

then segment work in Nagqu sister nearly ten years, very experienced. I remember one time when a child’s embrace Tibetan women to the inside, is diagnosed children suffering from measles, Sister sections were treated the child, and told the note carefully, the mother and son to send out Shihai affectionately funny with the baby to see her very naturally doing all of this, her mother and son while stocks come back that I can not wait to ask: “You do measles? “” No. “” Then how do you … “I would like to ask why she did not wear masks, gloves a little medical knowledge knows that measles is highly infectious, but all my questions in the section of Sister smiling eyes all but disappeared – She actually did not want to see because they take measures to protect and allow the Tibetan people have barriers.

I later learned that the sister’s body had a bad time, the section of his older sister’s lover to leave her many times examination, she was always busy and do not want to leave because of work. In December 2001, she was holding on to the recruits finished do first medical work in Lhasa, only to General Hospital to check on his body. back to Chengdu, not long section of Sister left.

After her death, her lover in her notebook commonly found a letter addressed to me, which recounts the years we have experienced together bit by bit, and I his mouth tears repeatedly to see the letter, determined to practice their snow-covered plateau at this party loyalty and love for the people. Only love can arouse passion. Since the choice of a career in medicine, it should be life-saving as their own struggle target; since the choice of working in the highlands and pastoral areas, pastoral people should be put as their loved ones, and since then, I approach the patient has undergone great change, and he started to delve into some of the targeted therapy of altitude sickness, slow service people are slow to work aroused his enthusiasm, in a time saving lives feel the value of your life.

by my side, there are many perennial unknown to adhere to the plateau ally, most of them are ten years, even decades, long-term work in high altitude areas of the old Tibet, perseverance, diligent, optimistic, serious and responsible, and other excellent character, who in their focus and performance was particularly outstanding. a resting state in the oxygen saturation of only 60% of the non-commissioned officers, that the examination results look calm and said: “Nothing, where oxygen is normal. “I looked at his face full of” Plateau, “the men asked if they suffer no pain, 90% of men will say” no pain, get used to. “In fact, almost all stationed in Nagqu 10 officers and men have different years degree of heart damage, and along with the long-term headache, insomnia and other symptoms, many men are relying on medication to reduce symptoms, but they still stick here.

Nagqu I often think of the martyrs cemetery. Nagqu of Martyrs and Nyingchi different, there are no trees, no flowers, only the fierce wind whistling in northern Tibet. martyrs who are mostly at the expense of counter-insurgency, are very young, standing in the cemetery, looking at these Life will never be fixed in the teens of the martyrs, admiration wells.

hundreds of martyrs if I awe, watching the next made me feel sad cemetery here I am familiar with the comrades lying around, some of them did not receive timely treatment because of illness and death. Whenever I see the death of Bin illness, Liangxian Jun, Wang Wei, who opened the tomb, I could not help but cry when I re- tomb once stood, in addition to sweep, also want to tell them: his comrades, you can rest assured, we are now getting better and better conditions, will not let our comrades can not get timely treatment because of illness and death as a medical workers author, I see these tombs, thought was love and respect for life with the sacrifice of comrades than I was happy, I should continue to stick here, people who need my services, so that their limited life to play the greatest value.

I know many soldiers after the trip to Lhasa, like moving just sitting on stools in the yard office to chat, I wonder, are like fun, like shopping young man, sitting doing here. and talk to them, I discovered their secret: they see the tree, enjoying the shade! I could not help think of an ex-soldier’s diary, which wrote: “I remember the first time leave because of economic reasons, I chose to go on land. Before traveling to Golmud, sub-train. I looked at the scenery outside the window, getting excited – I saw the tree! “

Nagqu are no trees, and even the grass is very low, which only brings to life the green Nagqu have experienced much pain tempered ah! Over the years, the tree only in my memory , each finished off rejoin when I really could not bear to leave to go, but I must go, because every home, to see the parents, to see her, I know the meaning of work in Nagqu, if not we, the people will Nagqu flies rest assured, there will be safe? huge sense of responsibility inspired me to become their own ‘tree’, for those who need us shelter.

I think of their work. In fact, Every time rounds, I just did their share of work, and sometimes think that’s not doing well, but the herders with their own special way I feel the most sincere feelings, I am forever grateful to the heart of

to express my gratitude, they will travel long distances to my “Mommy Mamba” sent beef and mutton, and that the best yogurt on the plateau, covered with cow dung hada, snow waiting in the shadow I will never forget … …. me the most memorable was a pastoral rounds, I was placed in the side of the house measuring ECG. no side house fire, October Nagqu has entered the snow season, the house temperature is very low, for fear I did a while the cold began to keep Kazakh gas, hand-wringing, stomping this time, a grandmother came to pick open the curtain, she did not say a word, walked straight up to me, grabbed my cold hands , sent to the robe of mind, my hands tightly to her chest pressed on this point, I thought of my mother. Next, operation of equipment in addition to me, grandmother has been using her hand warm my hands, visits until we complete the task during which she did not speak, just smile and I hope. watching my grandmother that kind of smile, I felt the warmth of a family.

in the nursing home, I Sometimes the name would grandmothers were wrong, but the grandmothers were never care about me, always take the trouble to tell me once that as long as the cold will grab my hand kept rubbing my hand, I fear chilled. If, when visits just run into them to dinner, grandmothers were also forced with trembling hands wipe the bowl, then pour on the butter tea, roasted barley flour and a trial of strength to me and handed to the dregs.

the rounds on the road, we come across a way of protecting the militia, he should be four or five years old, dark face, we see a warm greeting from his mouth, we learned that he a young man had been a soldier, to understand some Chinese, and now active maintenance of way. “The Road Okay, pass the thing, we live on pretty fellow. “He is not fluent in Mandarin with me and I asked him not hard Xin maintenance of way, he replied:” hard? Not bitter, not bitter, the way I like, not bitter thing. “

car to leave, I looked at his shadow further away, my heart pulsing with a passion: this move is not for fame or fortune, to express gratitude is the right path, is the Communist Party grateful. protect passers-by so that I understand, the most important thing is to be grateful when I learned that the orphanage children lack Nagqu book, I was careful to record every book they mention the name, as far as possible to help them buy, round their learning dreams. orphanage and later sent to the magazine each time, I heard a lot of kids that like, I feel really happy.

many occurred in the plateau, in the plateau soldier who’s story touched me, in retrospect, I received access to too much, because they are not just a piece of the story touched me, but the main thing is that they allow the spirit to achieve the sublimation of my people say : Your story is very moving, many people shed tears. Indeed, a lot of people out of a better life away from the plateau to choose, I chose to stick, but look back and think, precisely because of their experience of those things, and understand what is camped, what is moving, what is the Grateful these, gave me infinite power, so I continue to stick in Nagqu.
