Ke is a representative of the spirit of internationalism, which is highly praised by ***. He was an Indian, but a member of the Chinese *** Party. In the fire of the Anti-Japanese War, Ke decided to come to the Eighth Route Army, dedicating his magnificent years and even his life to the liberation of the Chinese nation.
Ke Daihua, formerly known as Devakarnath Santaram Ke Dinis, was born in 1910 in a small town in the Indian province of Bombay. His last name was Kodi, and after he came to China, he added the word "Hua" to his last name to show his determination to fight here.
The suffering of the Indian people and the struggle against colonial rule, so that Kodai Hua since childhood has developed a positive pursuit of truth, the courage to resist the unreasonable oppression of the strong character. 1936, he graduated from the medical school and stayed in the school as a teaching assistant. 1937, the news of the war in China, the Indian Congress Party decided to send a small medical team to China, to show the people of India's sympathy for the people of China and support. At this time, Ke, who was preparing to apply for the Royal Society of Medicine, resolutely decided to join the medical team.
In September 1938, Koh and the other five medical team came to China. At first, they worked in the *** military hospital and were treated with hospitality, but they were attracted to the *** which they had done a hundred percent to demonize, and they broke through the obstacles to arrive in Yan'an in February 1939, and then went to work in the General Hospital of the Eighth Route Army. In the fall of the same year, they proposed to follow the footsteps of Bai Qun to the front line. *** He personally approved and encouraged them to study politics. After more than a month of trekking and experiencing the battle of breaking through the blockade line, they arrived at the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army in the Taihang Mountains of Southeast Jin.
Ke was y infected by the environment while forgetting his work in the frontline Eighth Route Army units. He once said, "Although I did not go to the Resistance University, this time I am considered to have participated in a new type of combat university." In March 1940, Ke entered the Jinchahi Border Region again and traveled thousands of miles with his troops, personally taking part in an ambush on a Japanese train on the way. During the Hundred Regiments War, Ke set up an ambulance only a mile or two from the firing line, and in January 1941, he became president of the Baeksuen International Peace Hospital.
At that time, in the face of frequent Japanese "sweeps", Ke and his comrades had to give up the establishment of the hospital and the school again and again, with a backpack in the mountains and forests with the enemy guerrilla maneuvering. In November 1941, Ko married Guo Qinglan, an instructor at the health school, and the following year they had a baby. In November 1941, Ke married Guo Qinglan, an instructor at a health school, and the following year they had a son, whom Commander Nie Rongzhen of the military region personally named "Yinhua". Through the practice of struggle and the study of revolutionary theory, he requested to join the Party. On July 7, 1942, the fifth anniversary of the war, the Indian doctor stood under the banner of the party and took a solemn oath --- "I voluntarily join the Chinese ***".
In the summer of 1942, Ko suffered an epileptic seizure. Nie Rongzhen, in view of the poor medical conditions behind enemy lines, advised him to go to Yan'an or return to China for treatment, but he stayed behind to work despite the danger. In December of the same year, he died at the age of 32 after a sudden attack while writing a lecture. *** President Ke wrote an elegy for Dr. Ke: "...... The whole army has lost an arm, and the nation has lost a friend. Dr. Ke's spirit of internationalism is something we should never forget."
After the founding of New China, Ke's tomb was moved into the North China Military Region Martyrs' Mausoleum. 1976, Shijiazhuang City, Hebei Province, established the Ke Memorial Hall.
