In 1911, young Li Kusi was born in a turbulent era. His mother passed away due to postpartum hemorrhage. He never entered school. He relied on his uncle Li Xiu to teach him how to read and see the world.
In 1916, he met Sun Haoyang, the son of Sun Lin, a direct military officer. The two were like-minded and went through several adventures together. However, he was betrayed by Mr. Hu because of Aunt Liu's informant. Fortunately, he was rescued by the kitchen chef Zhang Yong, who has since been regarded as his life mentor. Later, in order to rescue Sun Haoyang, the cook Lin Yi died unfortunately, which strengthened their determination to fight against injustice.
In 1920, when the Zhijiang-Anhui War broke out, Zhang Yong died heroically to cover the evacuation of Li Kusi and Sun Haoyang. The two fled to the south, once hoping that the Kuomintang would save the country, but they were ultimately disappointed. In 1927, because they could not bear the white terror, they tried to escape five times, but all ended in failure.
In 1934, with the secret help of Sun Lin, the two finally escaped. On the way, they met the Long March team. Li Kusi resolutely joined, met the revolutionary mentor Chen Hao, and joined the Communist Party of China in the flames of war. He followed the team to meet in northern Shaanxi.
For the next fourteen years, he devoted himself to the anti-Japanese war; during the Liberation War, Li Kusi injured his left leg due to a bomb, but still stayed on the front line. On October 1, 1949, New China was founded, and he shared this hard-won glory with countless compatriots.
When the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea began in 1950, Sun Haoyang resolutely participated in the war. Although Li Kusi was unable to cross the Yalu River due to a leg injury, he provided full support from the rear. In the land reform wave of the same year, he actively participated in the eradication of countless feudal remnants like "Master Hu". Land reform was successfully completed in 1952
