In 218, in a bank in Wuhan, there came a pair of elderly people who were over 6 years old. The hair of the two elderly people was already gray. The staff came forward to ask the elderly what business they wanted to handle, and the elderly said they wanted to remit money, so the staff led the elderly to the front desk to handle it. Who knows that the elderly would remit 1 million yuan to an account as soon as they opened their mouths.

The 85-year-old woman gave the staff an account, saying that she would remit 3 million yuan first, and then 7 million yuan. When she heard this amount, the staff thought it was wrong. After confirming it, the staff immediately became vigilant.

This is not a small sum of money. It seems that the two old people are not young. They are afraid that the old people will be cheated, so they called the leader. After meeting the leader, the old people still insisted on sending money to this account.
The data map
feels that something is wrong and the amount involved is relatively large. To be on the safe side, the bank quickly called the police, hoping that the police could investigate it clearly to prevent the elderly from being deceived.
The old man had no choice but to reveal his identity. Only when he knew it clearly did he realize that the story behind it was so touching. The identity of the old man also alarmed the government, and the past events were exposed. So who are the 85-year-old Northeast couple dressed simply? Why there is so much money, but also from the old woman.
Data Map
This old woman named Ma Xu was born in Mulan County, Harbin. When Ma Xu was born in 1932, the three northeastern provinces had been captured by the Japanese army, and everyone was living in dire straits. What's more, Ma Xu's family conditions were not good, and she lived without food and clothing since she was a child, and she was always wary of the Japanese, and she was afraid almost every day.
Data Map
In order to support a family, Ma Xu's father was physically exhausted early, and died when she was very young. The family was only supported by her mother's thin shoulders. Seeing the atrocities of the Japanese army since childhood, Ma Xu was filled with patriotic flames and secretly vowed to drive the Japanese out of China.
Data Map
Ma Xu's mother is a storyteller who sings drums and often takes Ma Xu to tell stories. Ma Xu has heard many heroic stories from her mother. Although Ma Xu is a girl, she also has a heart to be a hero and has been working hard in this regard.
In 1946, with the surrender of the Japanese army, Mulan County, where Ma Xu was located, was also liberated. At that time, the People's Liberation Army recruited troops locally, and Ma Xu, who was only a teenager, did not hesitate to sign up. Her mother did not stop her decision. Before leaving, she cooked Ma Xu the only eggs at home and let her take them to the road to eat.
Data Map
She never imagined that the next year after she left, her mother died of illness, and she didn't see her mother for the last time, which has always been a sore point in Ma Xu's heart. When she arrived in the army, Ma Xu wanted to rush to the front line with her comrades.
But considering that she is a girl and the army is short of medical staff, Ma Xu obeyed the arrangement of the leader and was assigned to be a medical soldier.
Data Map
After Ma Xu joined the army, he participated in the Liaoshen Campaign and the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea. At that time, because of Ma Xu's young age, the leaders of the army considered letting her stay in the rear to take care of the wounded, but Ma Xu firmly opposed this preferential treatment. After all, the vicinity of the battlefield was the best place to help the wounded.
Ma Xu arrived at various battlefields with his troops and rescued his comrades in the nearest place. Although he was only a medic, he often shuttled through the bullets and missed death many times. Because of his heroic performance on the battlefield, Ma Xu was awarded the Medal of Liberation after the war.
Data Map
As for the old man around Ma Xu, it is his husband Yan Xueyong. They met on the battlefield to resist US aggression and aid Korea, and both of them were medical soldiers on the battlefield. * * * treated a lot of wounded people, and they gradually became fond of each other and encouraged each other on the battlefield. Fortunately, both of them got off the battlefield safely.
Ma Xu was later sent to the First Military Medical University for further study, and he also made very good achievements in this respect, and his school achievements were among the best. After graduation, he was assigned to the General Hospital of Wuhan Military Region and became a doctor.
Data Map
After arriving at the hospital, it was discovered that Yan Xueyong also worked in this hospital. When the two people who once had a good impression on each other met again, they naturally had a spark of love and naturally became husband and wife, and they have always been a model husband and wife admired by everyone.
In 1961, Ma Xu's life changed again. At that time, the army was setting up China's first airborne troops. For this unexplored field, it was also dangerous. Not many people signed up, because it was a trial stage and the treatment was not very good.
Data Map
For the newly established airborne troops, medical staff are definitely indispensable. After Ma Xu heard about it, he gave up his superior and comfortable job regardless of others' discouragement and insisted on transferring to this unit to escort the soldiers of the army.
After coming to the army, Ma Xu found a problem in the process of saving people. After the soldiers boarded the plane, the medical staff could not follow them, so they had to wait in a fixed place and go there when necessary, which would delay a lot of time, which was very unfavorable for treating the wounded.
Data Map
Considering this situation, Ma Xu made a suggestion to the leaders of the army, that is, parachuting with the soldiers. There was no precedent for female soldiers to parachute before, and the leaders also rejected Ma Xu's suggestion, and Ma Xu, who is only 153 cm tall and weighs only 8 kg, failed to meet all the indicators.
However, Ma Xu was not discouraged. During her time in the army, when she saw the soldiers training, she also studied in an exemplary manner. Because she was afraid that she would hurt herself, she was kicked out several times. Ma Xu, who was stubborn, came up with another way, that is, to build a simple training platform by herself.
Data Map
Ma Xu found a clearing in the army and built a simple platform. Since then, he has been training, but the leaders have turned a deaf ear to it. They know that even if they say it, it is useless. Ma Xu will still think of another way and go with her.
Ma Xu, who has been training for a long time, finally jumped better than some male soldiers, so Ma Xu finally got her wish and became a female paratrooper. Ma Xu, who parachuted for the first time, also performed very well, even surpassing most male soldiers, and gained everyone's respect.
Data Map
During Ma Xu's paratroopers' career, she parachuted more than 14 times before and after. A female soldier who can parachute can imagine her role in the airborne troops, and she can get to her injured comrades in time every time.
In order not to affect her skydiving, Ma Xu got the consent of her husband Yan Xueyong, and her husband Yan Xueyong performed the operation for her personally, so they had no children for life. However, it did not affect their feelings, but spent all their energy on their careers.
Data Map
As they get older, they also retired from the army, but they have not been idle. They have invented many patents. The air ankle protector for airborne troops was designed by them. Because of this invention, the safety of many soldiers was protected.
Ma Xu spent most of her life in Wuhan, and she chose to settle in Wuhan after retirement. The idea of donating money came to her because she missed her hometown when she was old, so she took her husband to Mulan County, Heilongjiang Province. Later, she found that many facilities in her hometown were not perfect.
Data Map
After discussing with her husband, I decided to donate the 1 million savings they had saved for many years to their hometown. For the old couple, this is almost all the savings, and it is not easy to save this savings.
Ma Xu and his wife have been living in an abandoned barracks on the outskirts of Wuhan since they retired from the army. The yard also looks very shabby, and there are even many cracks in the walls. Seeing this environment, no one can imagine that the old couple are worth tens of millions.
Data Map
The old couple usually wear camouflage uniforms. For them, wearing military uniforms has become a habit. Camouflage uniforms are strong and durable, and they are all given by the army. In Ma Xu's eyes, a pair of 15 yuan shoes is already very good, even on special occasions, and they usually wear shoes previously issued by the army.
Eating is even more frugal. Noodles and porridge are their usual staple foods. They don't like meat. They have no requirement for food for half their lives in the army, as long as they can have a full stomach.
data map
The usual means of transportation is also an old bicycle that has been riding for more than ten years. It looks shabby. It can be said that the 1 million yuan was saved by two old people.
In the past, everyone thought that this couple were too stingy, and they never changed things until they were worn out. But they were just stingy with themselves, and all their life savings were dedicated to their hometown, contributing to the construction of their hometown.
Data Map
In 219, Mr. and Mrs. Ma Xu were also named as people who moved China in 218, and the comments given to them said: Enduring poverty and keeping a noble mind, life-long frugality is only a luxury. Their deeds are also known to more people.
Many people were deeply moved after reading it. Ma Xu didn't expect that his actions could have such a great impact. He also thought that it was just something he could do. For them, the money was useless, and they had no children. The money obtained from the country should be returned to the country.
Data Map
Many modern people are shocked by the spirit of these two old people, and they are also moved by their lifelong love. Such selfless dedication is the model for us modern people to learn and the model of the times.
Although they have no children, they have fought for the country for half their lives and donated all their savings. The country and people will not forget them. I wish the two old people a long life and enjoy their old age.
