"I was born in 1930 in Heilongjiang Province Ming Shui county, Heilongjiang was liberated in 1945, the earliest liberation of the province, Jiefang District's vigorous movement let me get rid of the fate of the child in law." "In 1947, I went to the germinal School of a rural normal school founded by the Heilongjiang Provincial Committee in de Du county. The Soviet Union movie "heroine" has a great influence on me. The protagonist in the movie is Bashar, a tractor driver who fought against fascist Germany in wartime. From that moment on, I was determined to become a female tractor driver.
"in 1948, the opportunity came at last!" Liang Jun recalls: "the Heilongjiang provincial Party committee will set up a tractor driver training class in Bei'an. After learning, I drove the tractor on the road, and the villagers were surprised to say, "look, the big girl can also open the iron ox". I felt very glorious at that time! "
Liang Jun's story of opening up a tractor to open up wasteland is spreading. People know that new China has the first female tractor driver. In October 1949, in the sound of gun guns born in the Republic, Liang Jun joined the CPC honorably and became the representative of the Asian women's Congress in December of that year.
"after listening to my story, many girls went to the Great Northern Wilderness to learn to drive tractors. In June 3, 1950, the first woman tractor team in New China was established. I am the captain. " "Looking at our tractors through the rich black land, I have a strong sense of pride in my heart - we are the masters of the Republic, the main force to develop the Great Northern Wilderness!"
