When foreign enemies invaded, she took the initiative to send her son to the front line and organized a self-defense army in the village to fight against the Japanese invaders. She repeatedly raided Japanese outposts to combat the arrogance of the enemy.
Because she wears two guns all year round, she is known as the "old woman with two guns". The enemy hated her and longed to put her to death.
