When he witnessed the exploitation of the poor by the landlords, he rebelled with his companions. ** With a revolutionary spirit in his heart, he upholds justice and defends justice.

Upon hearing of this, a youth group was also organized. In his hometown, he held two kitchen knives in his hand and led his partners to set off a revolution. In order to protect the villagers, he and his companions seized the ** of the landlords and bandits and created a convoy regiment. At that time, the warlords in Hunan were rampant, the social order was chaotic, and the peasants were living in difficulty. In Sangzhi County, the team led by ** has gradually emerged.
