In 1949, he joined the troops in forcibly crossing the Yellow River on a sheepskin raft, witnessed the battle of Lan Province, and entered the city from the west gate to liberate Qing Province.

For the next sixty years, he took root in this land, presided over the construction of the Gongbaixia Highway, and spent his life fulfilling the vow he made when he was a boy.
