When she found Yu Rong, she found her sister walking barefoot and frozen into a ball. Long Mei hurriedly took off his boots for his sister, but they were frozen on his feet and could not be taken off. She had to tear off a corner of her robe, wrap her sister's frozen feet, carry her on her back, walk and finally fall.
Because the railway workers and commune secretary who were looking for them arrived in time, the sisters and the sheep escaped safely. Long Mei and Yu Rong were praised by the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League.
Extended data:
Mongolian girls Long Mei and Yurong encountered a snowstorm while herding sheep for the production team. In order not to hurt the production team, they always run after the sheep until they faint in the snow. Because of severe frostbite, both of them have different degrees of amputation. Because of her heroic deeds, she is known as "Little Miss Prairie Hero".
On February 9th, 1964, Miss Jie volunteered to herd 384 sheep for the production team. At that time, Long Mei 1 1 year old, and Yu Rong was less than 9 years old. At noon, the drooping clouds shed strings of goose feather and heavy snow, and the whistling wind swept the snowflakes flying all over the sky. In an instant, the white-haired wind swallowed up the vast grassland: a snowstorm came!
The two sisters struggled for more than 20 hours. Cold, fear, hunger, fatigue and sense of responsibility are all concentrated on the two little girls. Finally, Yu Rong fainted in the snow and was dying. Her sister Long Mei was not much better, but she still walked behind the sheep. Fortunately, the herdsman Ha Chaolu and his son arrived in time. When the railway workers and commune secretary who were looking for them arrived, they found that the sisters and the sheep escaped safely.
* * * On March 20th of that year, the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League wrote a letter praising their noble behavior and warmly congratulating them on joining the Chinese Young Pioneers. The People's Daily reported their touching stories with the title of "The Most Brilliant Flower", and was praised as "Little Miss Prairie Hero".
After the snowstorm, Miss Jie first received treatment in Baiyun Obo Mine Hospital, and then transferred to Hohhot for further treatment and rest. Due to severe frostbite, Long Mei lost his left big toe, while Yu Rong had his right leg amputated below the knee joint and his left ankle joint amputated. After my little sister was discharged from the hospital, under the care of the government, my little sister went back to her hometown to start studying and never herded sheep again.
Sister Long Mei's experience after the snowstorm was equally smooth. 16 years old joined the army gloriously, then studied in Baotou Medical College and Inner Mongolia Mongolian College of Literature, 1982 transferred to work in Donghe District, 1988 served as chairman of Donghe District CPPCC. In the same year that my sister served as the chairman of CPPCC, the Disabled Persons' Federation was established in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, and my sister Yu Rong was transferred to the vice chairman of the Disabled Persons' Federation.
