On the fierce battlefield in Gaotai County, an old lama who was over the age of sixteen showed an admirable brilliance of humanity and saved a Red Army commander. This moving story happened in 1936, after the victory of the Red Army's Long March, the Red Fifth Army received an order to march westward, and Lu Renli led more than 3,000 cavalry to attack Gaotai City.
In the face of the overwhelming situation, Lu Renli and the soldiers of the Red Fifth Army were undaunted, and for eight days and eight nights, they held their positions and repelled more than 30 fierce attacks by the enemy. However, food and grass are scarce and cannot be sustained. In the fierce battle, Lu Renli bravely killed the enemy, but at the last moment, he was ambushed by the enemy, was seriously wounded, and fainted in a pool of blood.
When he woke up, Gaotai City was already full of corpses, and more than 3,000 Red Army warriors died heroically for the revolution. Lü Renli became a prisoner of Ma Jiajun and faced the fate of being escorted to Xining to be executed. In the bitterly cold month of Layue, Lü Renli and other Red Army comrades-in-arms were escorted across the Qilian Mountains, where the wind and snow raged, and the comrades-in-arms fell one after another, suffering from injuries and illnesses. In this desperate predicament, Lu Renli was immersed in the despair of death. Until one day, he found a rare opportunity.
In the dead of night, Lu Renli observed the sentry dozing off, and he quickly got rid of his shackles and quietly climbed over the wall. On the way to escape, he was hungry and cold, and his straw sandals were in tatters, but his desire for freedom and the revolutionary cause kept him going. After a difficult trek, he finally came to a small temple, and at this time, Lu Renli's life fell into a new ups and downs.
The old lama, a benevolent elder in his 60s, offered to provide food and shelter to Lu Renli. Under his care and care, Lu Renli gradually**. In order to repay the old lama's kindness, he volunteered to help repair the temple and clean it. The old lama even found a girl for him, hoping that he would stay and become the son-in-law of the family. However, Lu Renli was concerned about the three thousand martyrs, and he rejected the old lama's kindness and chose to move on.
The old lama understood and respected Lu Renli's choice, and reluctantly prepared travel expenses and food for him. At the time of parting, Lu Renli was grateful, and the old lama told him to be careful, and Lu Renli nodded in agreement. He was alone, carrying heavy thoughts, and embarked on a new journey.
In the spring of 1938, Lu Renli arrived at the Red Army base in Yan'an, and he was already the commander of a division of the People's Liberation Army. After 21 years, he returned to Yongdeng County, revisited his hometown, and paid tribute to the old lama. Lu Renli organized the army and the best forces to develop Yongdeng, built a monument for the martyrs of the Red Army, and repaid the kindness of the older generation of revolutionaries.
Lu Renli's story tells the story of a hero who finds hope and holds his faith in the face of adversity. The spirit of this revolutionary of the older generation inspires us to have the courage to overcome all difficulties and continue to strive for the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
