In 1950, the People's Republic of China established diplomatic relations with Indonesia, and diplomatic relations between the two countries have been normalized. However, in the mid-sixties of the last century, Indonesia began to attack the Chinese embassy on a large scale, and even openly attacked the Chinese embassy in Indonesia, which led to a low point in the relations between the two countries.

In 1967, Indonesian military groups repeatedly stormed the Chinese Embassy in Indonesia, injured Chinese personnel stationed abroad, and damaged the embassy facilities and our national flag. In the process of destroying the national flag, a counselor of the embassy in Indonesia named Yao Dengshan swore to defend the sanctity of the national flag.

So, what other heroic deeds are there about Yao Mountain?

Yao Dengshan was born in Shaanxi in 1918 and grew up in a poor family. However, he was favored by his grandfather and was able to receive financial support for his education. With the help of his grandfather, he was successfully admitted to the local high school.

As he grew older, Yao began to think deeply about the direction of the future. In the end, he made a decision and chose to put down his pen and ink and serve the country in the army.

In 1935, Yao Dengshan joined Yan Xishan's troops in his hometown. However, the old warlord camp to which Yan Xishan belonged was incompatible with Yao Dengshan's belief in devoting himself to resisting Japan and saving the country.

Therefore, Yao Dengshan came up with the idea of leaving the team. In 1938, the year after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Yao Dengshan resolutely joined the Communist Party of China.

Since then, under the leadership of the party, he has devoted himself to the ranks of the War of Resistance Against Japan. Yao was also ordered to return to his hometown, develop guerrilla forces, and engage the Japanese puppet army and Yan Xishan's troops.

In such struggles, Yao Dengshan gradually grew into a staunch revolutionary, and witnessed the victory of the War of Resistance against Japan with our party. During the War of Liberation, Yao Dengshan participated in the Battle of Taiyuan and the Battle of Lanzhou, and made important contributions to the victory of the War of Liberation.

He also witnessed the birth of New China.

In 1950, Yao Dengshan devoted himself to the diplomatic cause of the People's Republic of China, serving in the Embassy of Denmark and the Embassy of Finland successively, and made outstanding contributions to the development of the diplomatic cause of the People's Republic of China as secretary and counselor.

His outstanding performance won him the opportunity to be promoted, and in 1962, he served as the deputy director of the General Affairs Department and became an important cadre. Soon after, he was appointed Counsellor of the Embassy in Indonesia, where he heroically fought against the Indonesian soldiers who stormed the embassy and protected the national flag.

After the severance of diplomatic relations between China and Indonesia, he flew back home. When he arrived at the airport, he was greeted in person, which also made him a "red diplomatic warrior" and a great reputation in diplomatic circles.

In the early days of Yao Mountaineering's return to China, he did not know much about the domestic situation, and the "rebels" gradually began to seize power across the country. He also participated in the seizure of power and became a member of the "** Revolutionary Rebellion Liaison Station".

From August 19 to August 22, 1967, the liaison station was fully responsible for the business of ***, and Yao Dengshan presided over the work of *** for four days. However, their actions were quickly criticized by ***, and after August 22, the liaison station withdrew from *** Yao Mountaineering was also subject to quarantine review.

In 1969, Yao Dengshan was sent to work at the Wuqi Cadre School, and two years later, in 1971, at the age of 53, he was wrongfully sentenced to prison. For nine dark years, he served his sentence in a prison in Beijing.

In 1980, he regained his freedom, and the relevant authorities handled the formalities for his retirement, and after his retirement, he retained 10 levels of administrative treatment. In his later years, Yao spent most of his life in Beijing, where he died of illness in 1998 at the age of 80.
