Heroes of difficult times, according to the current policy, most people can retire by the age of 60 and live a carefree life, but 71 years ago, a 60-year-old man put on a military uniform and became an Eighth Route Army soldier, this incredible thing is even more valuable at the time. Because according to historical data, the average life expectancy in China in 1950 was about 41 years old, while today's 60 years old, 60 years old at that time is completely different from the same concept.
The 60-year-old man, jiang Weiping, who joined the Eighth Route Army and was originally from Fangshan, Hebei (now Beijing), was born in 1878 and is said to have served as a soldier in Li Hongzhang, Yuan Shikai. Qi Rui's troops served as deputy commander of the Beiyang Army.

In February 1938, the 359th Brigade of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army marched into Pingxi. At the age of sixty, Jiang Weiping closed the pharmacy and joined the Eighth Route Army with medicines and equipment. That year he joined the Communist Party of China and served as director of the Ninth State Aid Committee in Fangliang County. He returned to a regiment of the 359th Brigade as the head of a pharmaceutical factory.
At that time, medical personnel and medicines were extremely scarce in the army. Regardless of his age, Jiang Weiping worked hard to learn medicine, while leading medical staff across the mountains to collect Chinese herbal medicines and prepare medicines, effectively alleviating the shortage of medicines in the Army. Wei Ping is the head of the 719 Farm in Jiulongquan, Nanniwan, and led the officers and soldiers to open up more than 400 acres of wasteland when he was in his sixties. That year, he not only achieved grain self-sufficiency, but also handed over 28,800 kilograms of public grain and built the farm into the first model farm of 359 brigades.
For his outstanding achievements, Jiang Weiping was appointed labor hero of the 359th Brigade, as well as labor hero and labor model of the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region. He joined the Yan'an Heroes Association, and Xie Juezhai, vice chairman of the Senate of the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region, also presented a poem to him: The ceremony of soldiers and farmers is like music, and the hands and feet are very good. Traverse Kyushu and return to Xuanpu, the old monkey of Huaguo Mountain. In July 1946, Jiang Weiping returned to his post as a military doctor and served as the vice president of the first branch of the Eighth Bethune International Peace Hospital. army. In the ensuing fighting, he actively asked to participate in the field rescue work. The army leaders saw that he was indeed old and could not bear to stay on the front line. They transferred him to the rear as principal and deputy head of the production cooperative.
After the founding of New China, Jiang Weiping served as the vice president of the 251 Hospital of the Beijing Military Region.In September 1950, he participated in the National Model Congress of Workers, Peasants, and Soldiers.After August 1951, he successively served in the hospital directly under the Chahar Military Region, the Zhangjiakou Hospital of the North China Military Region, the Zhangjiakou 251 Hospital of the Beijing Military Region, and the vice president of the China International Bethune Peace Hospital. Independence and Freedom Medal, Third Class, And Liberation Medal, Third Class. He was 77 years old when he was awarded the title, making him the oldest lieutenant colonel in the history of the People's Liberation Army, and because of his special experience, he was specially approved to grow a beard in the strict People's Liberation Army. So we see this extremely rare bearded soldier with a white beard flapping.
Jiang Weiping's experience is not only full of legends, but also has a distinct brand of the times, but it also hints at the Chinese the magic weapon of the People's Liberation Army in the wartime era. Wei Ping, who worked in medical and productive work more frequently, did not kill the enemy like a young soldier, but was dedicated and dedicated as well as a sense of responsibility and mission when the country suffered.
