In 1937, there were grandmothers, uncles and a younger brother (You Renrong), but his parents died early, and no one in the family went to school. When he was 10 years old, due to difficulties in life, he ran with his grandfather and his family from Wuhu Wuwei area in Anhui Province to Fuxing Zhou (now Fuxing Village). The family lives by cutting wood and exchanging things in the town, and life is very difficult.

The Japanese devils probably came to Pukou in November of **26 (1937), when I was 19 years old, because of the fear of devils, people on the continent who could escape fled back to their hometown in Anhui, I got married in my hometown in the same year, and my wife was a child daughter-in-law. In the fifth month of the lunar calendar in the following year (1938), he was forced to return to Fuxingzhou due to life.

After that, the devils came to the countryside from time to time to loot, and there were also Goryeo people (the characteristic that distinguishes them from the Japanese is that they have a beard), and the Koreans are worse than the Japanese, robbing chickens and ducks, grabbing food, robbing flower girls, and setting fire to houses (most of the houses are made of reeds). When the devil came, the people on the continent hid in the reeds when they heard the wind, and the people on the continent were very united and righteous, and as long as there was any movement, they would inform each other. Slow runners may *** but generally speaking, devils rarely come, when they come, there will be more people together, dare not go into the reeds, and the people will hide in the reeds, about a few hours later can go home, the house is basically burned down, can only be rebuilt, but the normal life is seriously affected, do not dare to go to the firewood exchange or something.

At that time, the Japanese devils and the Kuomintang soldiers were fighting by the river, and there were guns all over the ground, and a man named Yan Lao Er secretly picked up a gun, and after being seen by the Japanese, he threw the gun into the pond, but the devil forced him to go into the water and pick up the gun, and killed Yan Lao Er with this gun. There was a Liu Xu who was pressed in the reeds by the Japanese, but she was not killed. In addition, 13-year-old Wu and 15-year-old Zhou were violently assaulted.

The villagers were very indifferent to the Japanese burning, killing and looting, but they were afraid and hidden, and the already hard life was even more difficult in the Japanese sweep, it was difficult to make a living, and they had no time to take care of anything else for their livelihood all day long.
