Before introducing this famous general, let's take a look at a little story - on April 10, 1992, British Margaret Thatcher visited the United States, and as soon as the plane landed, she couldn't wait to find a retired Chinese veteran. The attendants around him were puzzled: why didn't they meet the United States first** during the state visit, but were so eager to meet a Chinese veteran? What is even more surprising is that the veteran soldier is too old to sit in a wheelchair, but Mrs. Thatcher respects him very much, bends down gently, and shakes his hand cordially, her eyes full of gratitude. 
In addition to Margaret Thatcher, the British Secretary of Defense and the Governor of California also visited him personally, and even Bush of the United States at that time also sent a letter to him to express his great respect. This Chinese veteran quickly became the focus of a sensation in the United States at that time, and his identity was also made public, which is China's retired major general: Liu Fangwu. 
Back in 1942, the famous Ringanqiang victory. Located in central and western Burma, Ringanqiang was a strategic location for the Allies, and if it could not be defended, the consequences would be unimaginable. Liu Fangwu, who was the commander of the 113th Regiment of the 38th Division of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, made great contributions in this battle, annihilating more than 1,200 Japanese troops, rescuing more than 7,000 British troops and more than 500 American missionaries, journalists and women from various countries, shocking the world. So, how did he manage to achieve such an amazing result? After the outbreak of the Pacific War, the Japanese army pushed the war to Yangon, Burma. The British army was unfavorable, and the Japanese army sent the 33rd Division to attack Ringanqiang, and the British army was defeated and retreated, and Commander Alexander had to retreat while asking the Chinese expeditionary force for help. However, the situation was still not good, and the Japanese army quickly occupied Magway, completely cutting off the British army's ammunition, medicine, food, and water supply channels, and the besieged British army ran out of ammunition and food, which was very dangerous. At this time, Regiment Commander Liu Fangwu received a rescue order from his boss Sun Liren, and at a critical moment, he led the 800 officers and soldiers of the whole regiment to rush to the forefront at the first time. 
The Japanese army has a large number of advanced equipment, and directly uses aircraft artillery to carry out fierce bombardment, but Liu Fangwu is very calm, and he is not confused by the enemy's indiscriminate bombardment, he uses skillful tactical skills, and constantly directs the soldiers to cover with the help of trenches. However, the devil's firepower was very fierce, and when Liu Fangwu led the troops to attack, it was very heavy. The battle lasted for a whole day and a night, Liu Fangwu dragged his tired body, regardless of the danger to his life, chased out of the command post to the front line, ran out of bullets, he went directly up to fight with the devil, captured the Japanese position three times, and changed hands three times, even if they were wounded, the soldiers endured the pain and continued to rush forward. In this way, Liu Fangwu led the troops to use their own flesh and blood to suppress the enemy's firepower, and finally defeated the Japanese army and rescued the trapped British army. This scene was seen by the British veteran Victor Steven, who at first thought that China would definitely lose this battle, because after all, the disparity between the strength of the enemy and us was too great, but it turned out that he was wrong, and the iron bones of the Chinese soldiers made him admire spontaneously. It is precisely because of this incident that Britain's Margaret Thatcher specially expressed her gratitude to General Liu Fangwu 50 years later. Later, on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the victory of Ringanqiang, Bush of the United States also expressed his gratitude to Liu Fangwu: "On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the victory of Ringanqiang, I would like to once again thank you on behalf of the country for your heroic act of rescuing 500 American journalists, missionaries, and thousands of British soldiers. ”
