Du Fuguo is a soldier in a minesweeping and explosive disposal brigade of the army. On October 11, 2018, when Du Fuguo participated in the mine clearance operation with the team, he charged in front of the team at the critical moment. In order to protect his comrades, he was seriously injured and lost his eyes and hands. Comrade Du Fuguo has successively won the titles of "national self-improvement model", "top ten figures touching China" and "Four Haves" of the army, and "model of revolutionary soldiers in the new era".

On October 11, 2018, Du Fuguo found a heavy grenade in the mine clearance operation. He asked his comrades in the same group to stand back and go forward alone to find out the situation. With a loud noise, he lost his hands and eyes. A few months later, the sentence he said to his comrades in arms before he was injured in the mine clearance: "you stand back, let me come" spread all over the country, and his name was printed in the hearts of hundreds of millions of people;

In early summer, when I set foot in Bazi village, Malipo County, Yunnan Province, I saw pine seedlings swaying with the wind on the rolling hillside, and tea trees spitting out new green, which gave birth to villagers' beautiful vision of poverty alleviation everywhere;

This is the minefield of the past. Du Fuguo, a soldier of a minesweeping and explosive disposal brigade of the army, was injured in this place. On October 11, 2018, Du Fuguo found a heavy grenade in the mine clearance operation. He immediately asked his comrades in arms AI Yan to step back and find out the situation alone. Suddenly, with a loud noise, Du Fu Guo subconsciously turned to AI Yan and blocked the shock wave and shrapnel after the grenade explosion. His comrades in arms were saved, and he lost both hands and eyes. Just before the loud noise, he had cleared more than 2400 explosives.

On April 16, the reporter met Du Fuguo in Southwest Hospital of Army Medical University. With the help of his lover Wang Jing, he groped and walked slowly towards us. His eyes were covered with white gauze, and his neck was covered with soybean scars. When he was standing in the standard posture of a soldier, he quickly raised his incomplete right arm to give you a special military salute, and all the people present were moved & hellip; & hellip;

What kind of eyes are these?

The ball of both eyes has been removed. On November 24, 2018, when the minesweeping brigade presented the first-class medal to Du Fuguo, who was lying on his bed, he habitually lowered his head, really wanted to have a look at the first-class medal.

What kind of hands are these?

Both hands have been amputated. In the Spring Festival of 2019, Du Fuguo wrapped layers of gauze, tied a hard pen to his stump, and wrote down the four words "happy Spring Festival" on white paper to greet the Chinese New Year.

A few months passed. The words he said to his comrades in arms before he was wounded in mine clearance spread all over the country. His name was printed on the monument of "moving China" and in the hearts of hundreds of millions of people;

'that's my mission. A voice told me: I'm going to mine. '

There are 113 minefields, covering an area of about 81.7 square kilometers. There are more than 5000 households and 50000 people living near the minefields. Dense land mines threaten the safety of people's lives and property, and restrict the development of border construction. Following the first and second large-scale mine clearance operations, in 2015, the State Council and the Central Military Commission launched the third large-scale mine clearance operation, which clearly required the complete elimination of mine hazards. "Chen Anyou, the former leader of the minesweeping brigade, said.

"I feel that this is my mission. A voice tells me: I'm going to mine!" said Du Fuguo. Since June 2015, he and more than 400 comrades in arms from different units abandoned all concerns and went to the minesweeping battlefield without hesitation.

Du Fuguo was born in Meitan County, Zunyi City, Guizhou Province in November 1991. He joined the army in December 2010 and the party in November 2016. In his more than eight years of military career, he has made three important choices:

The first time was when he joined the army and came to a border defense regiment in Yunnan. He could have become an excellent border defense soldier, but he chose to participate in mine sweeping. The second time was when he came to the mine sweeping team, the team leader found that his cooking skills were good and planned to arrange him to be a cook, but he chose to go to the front line to mine. The third time was when the mine was in danger, he chose to let his comrades back and go to mine alone.

Deminers are the closest to death in peacetime. Du Fuguo knew what this choice meant, but why did he not turn back?

The answer is written in his petition. In June 2015, Du Fuguo became a soldier for the fifth year. He immediately signed up for the third large-scale mine clearance mission. In the invitation to fight submitted to the Party branch of the company, he wrote: "just like when I joined the army five years ago, I was thinking about what kind of life was really meaningful and valuable. The only criterion to measure is what I have done for the country and for the people. I feel that this is my mission. '

In September 2018, Dou hopes to retire from the army after serving, while Du Fuguo also faces the prospect of retirement in December. Dou hoped to ask Du Fuguo: 'will you go or not?' "Du Fuguo said: 'if you leave the army before you finish your work, who will clear the mines?'" Dou hoped that he would never mention the issue of leaving the army again.

After Du Fuguo was injured, pan Yuanhua, the head of Mengdong Township, said with tears: "there are 20000 mu tea gardens in the township, 8000 mu in the minefield, and the masses are afraid of being bombed. Du Fuguo saved not only his comrades in arms, but also the people of the whole township. '

On November 16, 2018, in the Laoshan minefield where Du Fuguo was wounded, his comrades in arms swept the last piece of minefield with the unique "hand in hand" method of Chinese soldiers and handed it over to the people in the frontier for farming. So far, the third large-scale mine clearance mission, which lasted more than three years, has come to an end.

On the same day, Captain Li Huajian called Du Fuguo to tell him the news. Du Fuguo was very excited. The scene before the injury came to his mind: he and his comrades in arms climbed the main peak of the old mountain along the minefield. The distant mountain was as beautiful as a fairyland. The minesweepers exclaimed: "I really want to draw it as a picture!"

"If I join the party, I will be able to take the lead."

Long Quan, the former leader of Minesweeper team 4, who has changed his job, is very sad to hear that Du Fuguo was injured. "It's both unexpected and not unexpected.". The reason for the accident is that Du Fuguo has good demining skills and good psychological quality. It's no accident that he is injured. It's because Du Fuguo always "lets me do it" when demining, and bears higher risks than others.

There is faith in the heart and strength under the feet.

So far, Longquan still remembers what Du Fuguo said when he reported his wish to join the party when he was developing the first group of Party members in the team: "Captain, if I join the party, I will be able to take the lead and carry the burden. Looking back on these words, the old Party member said with great emotion: "why do we join the party on earth? The rich country's words are very simple, but they are worth every Party member's deep thinking. '

After Du Fuguo was injured, someone asked: 'why do you use your body to block shrapnel for your comrades in arms?' "Du Fuguo said: 'my comrades in arms and I are brothers entrusted with our lives. Anyone would do that. '

"How is AI Yan? & hellip; & hellip; seriously injured?" in the intensive care unit, Du Fuguo, who just woke up, had his hands amputated and his eyes removed, but he was still worried about the safety of his comrades in arms.

Du Fuguo and AI Yan are soldiers of the same year, and they are also life and death partners in the minefield. After AI Yan came to the minesweeping team, Du Fuguo had been teaching him hand in hand to clear the mine. Every time there was a danger, Du Fuguo asked him to retreat to a safe area and deal with it by himself. 'if the rich countries didn't take the initiative to clear the mine, if they didn't subconsciously block it, I would be the one who disabled or sacrificed! "Ai Yan choked several times;

In a minefield, whoever rows one more mine will be more dangerous. Du Fuguo is well aware of this probability, but he always rushes to the top.

In Mahai minefield, Du Fuguo once cleared a type 59 anti tank mine the size of a washbasin. Mountains and forests, people are difficult to come up, why would bury anti tank mines? This strange mine aroused Du Fuguo's vigilance. He was the first to say to Xu Meng, the monitor of the same group: "monitor, let me do it!" after elimination, he found that the top depression of this' big guy 'turned out to be a carefully designed' trick mine '. It is not easy to eliminate it safely.

When someone asked Du Fuguo, "what's the biggest difficulty for you to save your comrades in arms? What do you want to do after recovery?" he was silent for a long time, and two lines of tears fell down;

At the beginning of the new year, in his hospital bed, Du Fuguo picked up the radio from the people of Malipo and listened to President Xi's new year instructions. He said: 'the troops moved after hearing the order, which set off an upsurge of practical training. I also need to train assiduously, strive for an early recovery, do more things that are beneficial to the party and the people, and live up to the cultivation of the army and the care of the people. '

'There's always someone to do the work. If I do more, everyone will be less tired. '

'rich countries speak little and are shy, but they are warm-hearted. 'that's what the folks in Zunyi say.

Mentioning the injured nephew, aunt Du Jing couldn't help tears: "rich country is the eldest of several brothers and sisters. When she is at home, she takes the lead in all kinds of work. '

In his childhood, Du Fuguo's parents worked abroad, and they had a tight life at home. Hard work is not the way, hard work is the hope. As a child, he shouldered the responsibility of his family, herding cattle, chopping firewood and doing farm work behind his brother and sister's back. The neighbors boast.

Du Fuguo, who had learned how to repair his forklift, took the initiative to help him from 5:00 p.m. to early morning. When people in the village were having a wedding, Du Fuguo didn't need to be yelled. Instead, he would always help to serve tea, deliver vegetables, set tables and stools, and clean up dishes and chopsticks;

When he arrived in the army, Du Fuguo was even more eager to help others. He took advantage of his rest time to repair water and electricity, doors and windows, and buildings for the team
