In 1941, the Japanese wreaked havoc on the North China Plain, revealing their demonic nature, and countless families were torn apart. However, more and more people chose to join the Eighth Route Army, and their upright bodies and fearless spirit built an impregnable line of defense.
In Langya Mountain, Yi County, Baoding, there is an indomitable red team, who are brave and fearless, and have repeatedly repelled the invasion of the enemy. However, the brutal Japanese did not stop their madness, and they once again launched a large-scale sweep in an attempt to destroy everything.
They forgot that this army, called the Eighth Route Army, was to defend their homeland, and their hearts were filled with a yearning for peace and happiness. It was the invaders from the east who had ruined our peace, and we were united in our fight against foreign enemies.
In this battle, five fighters stepped forward and, at the cost of their lives, managed to distract the enemy, protecting the safety of the masses and the main forces.
Five valiant warriors, when they climbed Langya Mountain, the fame of this mountain peak was far from being as loud as it is today. Little did they know that their heroic deeds would make the mountain shine brightly across the vast land of 9.6 million square kilometers.
Their only goal in mind is to slow down the enemy's pace and ensure the safe evacuation of the people. They ran out of ammunition, threw grenades, and even grabbed rocks around them to resist.
They have long since put life and death on the line. However, faced with a large number of enemies, they were eventually pushed to the edge of the cliff, faced with the choice of becoming captives or jumping off the cliff.
In the face of this cruel reality, they made no compromise and resolutely chose to fight.
They are full of firm faith in the motherland and bright expectations for the future. They believe that their efforts can bring a better tomorrow to their motherland. They jumped off the cliff without hesitation.
According to historical records, two of them were lucky enough to be intercepted halfway up the mountain by a tree branch and survived.
On the verge of life and death of the anti-Japanese heroes, there is also a hero's savior. He is Li Yuantong, a Taoist priest who does not seek fame and fortune, but only for the national righteousness, ventures to climb the cliff, and finally saves the two heroes.
He did not want to be greedy for fame, but he always fought for the great righteousness of the nation, and his deeds are worthy of learning and admiration from each of us.
Li Yuantong's life is not limited to this, his deeds are far richer than we know. In the North China Plain, he saved lives and helped those in distress, especially for the poor, he did not take a penny.
However, Li Yuantong was not just a reclusive person, Taoist tradition led him to believe that when there is a way in the world, he should choose to retreat, and when there is no way, he should stand up and turn the tide.
Of course, this distinction does not apply to all people. Although the saint Confucius cherished all the people, even when there was no way in the world, he would still run to tell each other, calling on the people of the world to deny themselves and restore the peaceful and prosperous world.
Li Yuantong faced the country's predicament with the demeanor of an ancient benevolent gentleman, and he resolutely chose to stand up and do his best to change the world. His convictions were firm and he believed in the strength of the Eighth Route Army, so he did not hesitate to lend a helping hand.
In his former life, he often gazed at the night sky alone in the starry night, and his heart was full of endless reverie. Those past days are like a dream that cannot be traced.
His father was a dart master, he started practicing martial arts at a young age, and he was physically strong and full of strength.
Young people are always passionate and enthusiastic, and they are eager to contribute to the future of their country. He had heard the slogan "100,000 young men and 100,000 troops," and the passionate atmosphere made his blood boil.
Despite his father's opposition, he firmly chose to join the army, believing that this was the way to realize his ideals. However, over time, the brutality of the war left him with questions about the true purpose of this war.
He began to question, why did he fight for his country? Why do guns sometimes be pointed at patriotic students? Why did his leader live in a villa and marry several aunts?
He didn't know the true meaning of war, and he felt lost and disappointed.
They just smile slightly, as if they think that your beliefs are too simple, and that it is an incomparable shame to have a homeland and no self. He wondered if the world had changed, or if he had made a mistake in the first place.
He tried to find the answer, but unfortunately, he never found it. He fell into an unprecedented confusion, and as a last resort, he put down his **, took off his military uniform, and wandered around in search of the meaning of life.
Yet, all he saw was the pain of the nation.
He was just a scholar, and despite his powerful fists, he was unable to use other skills. As the seasons change, he travels far and wide, but he has never been able to find inner peace.
Until one day, he came to a Taoist temple, where the atmosphere was quiet and harmonious, and people quietly burned incense and worshiped God. When he fully integrated into this Taoist temple, he regained the peace he had lost for a long time.
So, he found the abbot of the Taoist temple and asked to stay and help clean up, as long as he could have three meals to eat. The abbot granted his request and taught him to recite sutras at his leisure.
He was very clever, and the abbot saw his wisdom and taught him the art of hanging pots to help the world.
He realized the true meaning of "peace of mind is my hometown", and no matter where he is, he tries his best to give full play to his value. He is convinced that even just the light of the fireflies has its own unique value.
Some things are meaningless if you don't do them, this is Wang Yangming's "conscience", which needs to be verified with actions. As a result, he began to travel all over the world, and the people of the North China Plain began to spread his story, and his name became more and more mysterious in Taoism, and he was revered as a "living immortal".
However, he clearly knew that his efforts could not truly change the fate of the Chinese nation, and only the ranks of the Eighth Route Army could do so.
It was the first time he had seen such a strict and disciplined team, who never touched the masses with a stitch or a thread, but often helped the people chop wood and carry water, creating a harmonious picture of the military and the people being a family.
In contrast, the other troops were all capable of exploiting the people, with a condescending posture, as if they wanted to make the people submit to their feet. If this continues, such an army will only lead the country to ruin.
However, his vision eventually became a reality, and he was invited to Beijing to participate in a Taoist event, at which Mr. Zhu saw him, called him a benefactor, and strongly invited him to stay in Beijing.
Mr. Zhu originally wanted to arrange for him to be the president of the Acupuncture Association to promote the cause of Chinese medicine in China. However, he politely declined this kindness, saying: "The country has returned to a peaceful and prosperous era, and I would prefer to return to my Taoist temple." ”
His face was filled with a happy smile, because he saw the beautiful scene of the Chinese nation's independence and self-reliance.
