Wake up（19）

Not long after the founding of New China, a massive movement to suppress counter-revolutionaries came, and many veterans who had joined the national army were arrested and killed. Chai Jianhua and He Jiafu were terrified by this, and could only hide their history of joining the national army, fearing that they would be arrested by the Communist Party as KMT spies. The two could only wander away from home and became homeless vagabonds. The two fell into deep fear.

  In the name of traveling as a doctor, Chai Jianhua searched for a living along the way. Accidentally met a middle-aged man and invited Chai Jianhua and He Jiafu to his home to treat his seriously ill father.

Along the way, the middle-aged man told Chai Jianhua and He Jiafu: "My surname is Pan. I don't have a first name. When I was young, I only had a nickname. People in the village called me Niuwa. During the land reform, registration was implemented, and the work team gave me a new name, Pan. It was dawn. During the land reform, we were allotted the landlord’s house.”

After walking a short distance, Pan Tianliang pointed to some old houses in the distance, and said to Chai Jianhua and He Jiafu, "Do you see that big willow tree? The house next to the tree is my home."

Pan Tianliang brought Chai Jianhua and He Jiafu to the willow tree and stared blankly at the old house. The old house was dilapidated. How could this be the landlord's house?

Chai Jianhua and He Jiafu walked into the house following Pan Tianliang's footsteps. There is no furniture in the house, so the old bamboo couch is particularly eye-catching. Pan Tianliang's father was lying on the bamboo couch.

Pan Tianliang said to his father: "Dad, I have invited two doctors for you and let them look at your illness."

Old man Pan is called "Old Pantou" by the villagers in the local area. He is already a 75-year-old man.

After the age of 75, many people have let go of many things, and they can calmly face and accept them calmly. But the most fearful thing at this age is birth, old age, sickness and death. This is a human law that no one can escape.

Lao Pantou suffered from urinary incontinence, which brought him great pain and inconvenience, and seriously affected his quality of life.

In recent years, Lao Pantou has been slow to move and his mobility has weakened. After being ill, his self-esteem has been hurt, and he is prone to distrust and stubbornness towards others. In severe cases, he is depressed and anxious, and he has a sense of loneliness.

In ancient China, influenced by the traditional Confucian thought of "the body, the hair and the skin, are affected by the parents, not daring to injure it, this is the beginning of filial piety", so human anatomy is of course limited. In this context, Chinese medicine in the past dynasties can only think about and explore diseases, syndromes, etiology, pathogenesis, and treatment principles and methods through the combination of "heaven, earth and man". In this way, on the contrary, Chinese medicine has gradually formed a unique and advantageous "holistic view" of the unity of nature and man, and the unity of form and spirit, the "concept of harmony" of strengthening the body and eliminating evils, and balancing the principles, keeping in good health and keeping fit before illness The concept of "prevention of disease" of prevention, the "view of treatment" of formulating treatment plans according to time and people, and other traditional Chinese medicine views.

Since we recognize that the viscera and the body surface correspond internally and externally, we can infer the changes in the body by knowing the performance of the body surface through observation, smell and questioning. For example, if you observe cyanotic lips and dark red tongue, you can definitely detect heart, lung, qi stagnation and blood stasis. Combined with whether you have chest tightness, palpitations, coughing and wheezing, and whether the pulse is thin or stringy, you can further locate the disease in the heart or the disease. in the lungs.

Chai Jianhua learned that Lao Pantou was indeed suffering from urinary incontinence, which belongs to the category of "incontinence to urinate" in Chinese medicine. The causes of the onset are mostly due to overwork, worry, fatigue, Qi deficiency after illness, senile kidney deficiency, etc., which make the lower yuan weak and the bladder lose its appointment. Others such as damp heat, blood stasis accumulated in the bladder, postpartum injury, etc. can also cause urinary incontinence.

People suffering from urinary incontinence can't control their urine when they are awake, or when they are coughing, sneezing, walking, standing upright, exerting force, irritability, excitement, laughing, crying loudly, being frightened or hearing the sound of dripping water, Urine comes out on its own.

Chai Jianhua said to Lao Pantou: "Old man, your tongue is pale, your fur is thin, and your pulse is thready and weak. Therefore, you can't help urinating, your urine is clear and long, you are tired and cold, your waist and knees are sore and weak, and your feet are weak. This is due to insufficient kidney qi. Solid. Your tongue is reddish and pulse weak and feeble. This is due to deficiency of spleen and lung qi. As a result, the desire to urinate is frequent, urinary incontinence occurs from time to time, even when coughing, talking and laughing, urinary incontinence may occur, the lower abdomen sometimes swells, and the face is white and short of breath. . I don't know if that's the case?"

Old Pantou said, "That's true."

Chai Jianhua asked Lao Pantou to open his mouth again to check his tongue coating. Said: "The tongue is reddish, the fur is yellow and greasy, and the pulse is thin and slippery. You urinate frequently, urinating hot, and sometimes you urinate from time to time. The urination is red and smelly. This is a symptom of damp heat."

Chai Jianhua also said: "The tongue is dark or has purple spots, the fur is thin, and the pulse is astringent. Stasis in the lower burner, inability to urinate, fullness and dull pain in the lower abdomen, or palpable lumps."

Old Pantou asked: "Does the doctor have a cure?"

Chai Jianhua said: "Acupuncture and moxibustion can be used to treat urinary incontinence in traditional Chinese medicine. It is safe, has no side effects, and can be adjusted as a whole. It is suitable for patients with various types and degrees of urinary incontinence. Improve the symptoms of severe urinary incontinence. People with weak kidney qi and deficiency of spleen and lung qi can invigorate qi and strengthen the root, and acupuncture and moxibustion are used together. The Shu and Mu points of the kidney and bladder are the main points. Zhongji and Bladder Shu are combined with Shu and Mo points, which can be adjusted Bladder qi mechanism enhances the bladder’s ability to restrain urine. Sanyinjiao is the meeting point of the foot and three yin meridians, which can regulate the qi mechanism of the spleen, liver, and kidney. The four points match together to play the role of nourishing the kidney and strengthening the spleen.”

Lao Pan could no longer understand what Chai Jianhua was talking about.

Chai Jianhua began to do acupuncture for Lao Pantou.

Lao Pantou hasn't chatted with anyone for a long time. At this time, he talked more. Almost all of his topics revolve around the ongoing land reform and fighting landlords.

The land reform movement was a land reform carried out in mainland China in the early 1950s when the People's Republic of China was established, led by Mao Zedong and other top leaders of the Communist Party of China. This land reform was the continuation of the Chinese Communist Party’s land reform in the old liberated areas during the Second Civil War between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party; by 1953, except for Xinjiang, Tibet, Qinghai, Sichuan and other ethnic minority areas, the land reform in most parts of mainland China was basically completed , more than 300 million landless or land-poor farmers were given about 700 million mu of land and means of production free of charge, and 30 million tons of grain were exempted from land rent every year. Beginning in 1953, the Communist Party of China began to promote collective land ownership in mainland China, including the implementation of the unified purchase and marketing of agricultural products, the agricultural cooperative movement, and the "People's Commune" movement, which took back farmers' land ownership, use rights, and management rights.

The launch of the land reform movement has changed the situation of "imperial power in counties" politically and economically for more than 2,000 years, and the mobilization power of the state power has since penetrated into the grassroots of villages and towns. The Land Reform Law of the People's Republic of China promulgated in June 1950 states that the purpose and task of land reform is "to liberate rural productive forces, develop agricultural production, and pave the way for the industrialization of the People's Republic of China." Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, the landlord and gentry strata, which were the local ruling class in China, disappeared in the land reform movement, allowing communist ideology to enter the rural grassroots. In addition, under the influence of landlords' armed forces such as the Home Returning Group and the CCP's official insistence, the land reform movement did not proceed in a peaceful manner, but in a violent manner.

On April 18, 1950, in his opinions on spring plowing, land reform, and cadre training, Mao Zedong also asked the East China Bureau, Central South Bureau, and Northwest Bureau to report the land reform plan to the central government in a timely manner. Mao Zedong said that this land struggle will be extremely fierce, "in addition to the landlords, there will be imperialism, the reactionary remnants of Taiwan and Tibet, the remnants of the Kuomintang, and the reactionary forces of imperialism to resist." Mao Zedong believed that the general policy was to "eliminate the remnants of the Kuomintang, spies, and bandits, overthrow the landlord class, liberate Taiwan and Tibet, and fight imperialism to the end."

In order to further avoid the tendency to attack too broadly in the large-scale land reform movement, Mao Zedong advocated that "measures can be adopted to isolate the landlords, immobilize the rich peasants, protect the middle peasants, and stabilize the national bourgeoisie to ensure the steady advancement of land reform";" Change from the policy of expropriating the surplus land property of the rich peasants to the policy of preserving the rich peasant economy.” By 1952, about 300 million landless and landless peasants across the country had obtained 700 million mu of land and other production data free of charge, exempting the annual The land rent paid by landlords for about 70 billion catties of grain has changed the land system in which "landlords and rich peasants, who account for less than 10% of the rural population, occupy 70% of all cultivated land."

At the Second Session of the First CPPCC National Committee held in June 1950, the participating representatives discussed the Land Reform Law. Many democrats advocated that "as long as the government promulgates decrees and distributes land, mass struggles should not be launched." Mao Zedong firmly opposed the peaceful land reform that bestowed land on peasants.

An important content of the land reform movement is to divide the class composition in the countryside, and divide the rural population into farm laborers, poor peasants, middle peasants, rich peasants and landlords. The poor peasants and farm laborers were the targets of the land reform, the middle peasants were the targets of solidarity, the rich peasants were neutralized, and the landlords were defined as the exploiting class and were the targets of the land reform. At the beginning of the founding of the People’s Republic of China, the landlords and rich peasants, who accounted for less than 7% of the total number of peasant households, owned more than 50% of the total cultivated land, while the poor peasants and farm laborers, who accounted for more than 57% of the country’s peasant households, only occupied 14% of the total cultivated land. little state. Landlords own 20 to 30 times as much arable land as poor and hired farmers, and there are a large number of landless and landless farmers in rural areas.

People who were classified as landlords and rich peasants and their family members became the untouchable class in China under the leadership of the Communist Party. They were constantly persecuted during the movement, and their personal safety was no longer guaranteed. On the other hand, the poor peasants and lower-middle peasants who had bitter hatred for the landlords and were active in the land reform movement were called "ideological progressives" at that time, which is commonly known as the "roots of the land reform". The "roots of land reform" led other peasants to raise their class consciousness through the campaign of "commenting bitterness and digging out the roots", and made other peasants realize class antagonism with landlords and rich peasants. The roots of land reform often fueled the "Fighting Landlords" movement during the land reform movement.

  "Fighting landlords" is to distribute the land and even property concentrated by landlords to poor peasants, so as to realize the "turn over" of peasants. The whole process of "Fighting Landlords" is mainly divided into dividing into groups, determining the object of struggle, interviewing suffering, attracting suffering, complaining, and settling accounts.

Old Pantou said that during the land reform, the division of the constituents mainly included poor peasants, middle peasants, rich peasants, and landlords. In this environment, everyone hopes to be designated as a poor peasant, because this will not only prevent them from being struggled, but also get a part of the property or land of the landlord. Therefore, when the division is made, the landlord must try his best to avoid being classified as a landlord. At this time, the poor peasant next to him will stand up and point out the reasons why he should be classified as a landlord.

For example, when Huang Dazhong was designated as a landlord, he argued that his property was obtained by frugality, not exploitation. At this time, Huang Xiaomao, who used to be a long-term worker in his house, jumped up and pointed at him and said, "I do long-term work in your house. I pay 60 shi for rent, and I harvest more than 120 shi of grain every year. I only get your wages of 14 shi. It’s less than 10 shi, you see how much you’ve exploited!” Then someone went on to say, “Your family has taken over the court and collected more than 1000 shi for rent. That’s how it was done.” Huang Dazhong couldn’t resist being exposed by everyone, so he had to admit that he was a landlord.

Huang Dazhong was denounced, and his property was divided up. The house I live in now belonged to Huang Dazhong's family.

Lao Pan talked for more than three hours unconsciously.

Chai Jianhua also completed the task of acupuncture and moxibustion for Lao Pantou. If the kidney qi is not strong, add Guanyuan, Mingmen to invigorate the kidney and strengthen the root; when the spleen and lung qi are deficient, add Feishu, Pishu, and Zusanli to nourish the lung and spleen; add Yinlingquan, Xingjian to clear dampness and heat when pouring damp heat; , Taichong blood circulation stagnation. Chai Jianhua performed acupuncture on Zhongji and Guanyuan on Laopan's head, and the needle pointed towards the perineum; other acupoints were routinely acupunctured. Guanyuan and Mingmen mostly use moxibustion.

Chai Jianhua asked Lao Pantou: "Old man, how do you feel?"

Lao Pan turned his head and neck, and stretched his legs again, feeling very good. He suddenly widened his eyes and said, "Hey, I've been talking nonsense for more than three hours, and I haven't peed?"

Old Pan blinked his eyes and said: "You two doctors, don't leave, stay at my house for a few days first, you can give me acupuncture and massage, observe my condition, and chat with me. Down, anxious, feeling lonely."

Before Chai Jianhua could react, Old Pan said to his son: "Go to the neighbor's house and borrow two door panels, and build two temporary beds in this room, so that the two doctors can stay here for a few more days. "

Chai Jianhua glanced at He Jiafu: "Jiafu, go find a casserole and let us cook some traditional Chinese medicine for the old man."

In this way, Chai Jianhua and He Jiafu had a temporary foothold, temporarily interrupting their wandering life.
