An apprentice in a traditional Chinese medicine shop, he was interested in telegraphy for the first time. He was literate, careful and observant. From a timid person who was afraid of gunshots and panicked when encountering trouble, he gradually became a legendary anti-Japanese soldier who learned to listen to code, quickly translate telegrams, memorize passwords quickly, and was good at combining herbs (emergency first aid). He intercepted Japanese secret messages many times, deciphered Japanese encrypted messages, cooperated with anti-Japanese guerrillas in ambushes, and cooperated with the main army to actively fight against Japanese invaders.
