Sister Zhao Xiuying and her front team also took a boat into the sea by accident and got separated after landing. She lives and dies alone with a legion
The White Horse among the White Horses Who Gone Away, he appears throughout the novel. The ancient poems memorized by Political Commissar Ouyang also contain content about white horses. It is a very important image.
I feel like there are ravines between the lines in this book. I admire Sister Jiaodong very much, an unyielding woman who was inseparable from the white horse during the Anti-Japanese War.
It was so touching that I burst into tears without even realizing it. Such a hero deserves our eternal praise
