During the Republic of China, Liu Dingyi, a young man from a mountain village in southern Hubei, left home in anger after witnessing his neighbors being bullied. After ten years in the army, he grew from an ordinary soldier to a Kuomintang battalion commander. After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, he resolutely returned to his hometown with guns and formed an anti-Japanese armed force. He won three victories in three battles and shocked Chongyang. He founded a middle school, transported salt to benefit the people, killed relatives for righteousness, and imprisoned his boss. However, his great achievements attracted jealousy, and he was falsely accused and imprisoned, but was finally released in vain by Xia Jiongli. With a bright heart, he went north to join the New Fourth Army, but he became ill from overwork and died of illness in Hanyang on the eve of the victory of the Anti-Japanese War. He was only thirty-six years old. The mountain remains the same, the gun is rusty, and only a legend remains, spreading among the mountains and rivers of Chongyang.
Well written
