In the vast land of Northeast China, there is a large landowner whose ancestral home is ShandongDai Wanling, he is not a rich gentleman in the ordinary sense, but a tough guy with fiery patriotism and noble national integrity.
Dai Wanling promised the country with his body, and at the critical moment when the Japanese invaders were ravaging the land of China, he resolutely chose to abandon his family business and devote himself to the torrent of resistance against Japan and salvation.
In the early 1930s, in the face of the grim situation of Japanese imperialism pressing forward and forcibly occupying the three northeastern provinces, Dai Wanling made a shocking decision: to scatter his family's thousands of acres of fertile land and wealth, sell all the property that could raise anti-Japanese war materials, and lead his six sons to the battlefield of blood and fire without hesitation.
They were brave and fearlessThe eldest Dai Keqin, the second Dai Kejian, the third Dai Keji, the fourth Dai Kezhi, the fifth Dai Keyuan, and the youngest son Dai Kezheng, all of them have become the backbone of the anti-United Nations team.

Dai Wanling himself took the lead, not only organized the militia to participate in the anti-Japanese resistance, but also personally led the team to the front line and launched a desperate struggle with the enemy. However, in 1937, Dai Wanling was unfortunately captured, and in the face of torture and coercion and temptation by the enemy, he always adhered to his beliefs, showed admirable tenacity and unyielding, and finally died heroically, interpreting the great spirit of "the rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband" with his life.
Dai Wanling's six sons also showed extraordinary courage and bravery on the battlefield.
The boss Dai Keqin, as the commander of the Anti-Japanese Union Company, marched forward bravely in the Battle of Dongning until the last moment of his life;
The second Dai Kejian and the third Dai Keji also served as the company commander of the Anti-Japanese Union, and died heroically in the battle against the Japanese army in 1939 and 1937 respectively;
The fourth Dai Kezhi sacrificed his young life in the smoke of gunfire as early as 1935 and sacrificed his life for the country;
The old five Dai Keyuan shouldered the heavy responsibility of lurking behind enemy lines and spying on intelligence, but unfortunately died in 1937 due to the exposure of his identity, and his heroic deeds can be sung and cried;
The youngest son, Dai Kezheng, did not fail in his mission, and died heroically in the battle in 1938, shedding his last drop of blood to defend his homeland.
Dai Wanling's family of seven people, like seven bright stars, illuminated those dark years, and their heroic deeds spread all over the Northeast and were deeply imprinted in the annals of China's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.
They are a glorious example of the Chinese nation's resistance to foreign aggression and defend their homeland, and they are national heroes who will always be remembered and learned by future generations.
