The White Pole Will Not Break, the Mountains and Rivers Will Not Fall

She could have stayed under the archway for the rest of her life, but she chose to wear armor and hold a gun to fight for the mountains and rivers.​ In the troubled times of the late Ming Dynasty, when traitorous eunuchs were trapped, her husband died tragically, and clan elders were forced to take power, Qin Liangyu took charge of the army while wearing hemp, and said "the archway cannot defend the city", which awakened the spirit of the white-pole army. She trained her children, organized the army, put down rebellions, and worked hard for the king. She sent away her brothers, daughter-in-law, and only son for half her life, and her family was full of seven loyal men. She stained the mountains and rivers with blood and never looked back.​ When the Ming Dynasty was about to fall and powerful enemies pressed the territory, everyone advised her to bow her head to save her life, but she shot across the city: The Qin family could die, but the white pole cannot be scattered.​ This is not a story about a woman keeping her integrity, but a legend about a female general who supported the character of the Ming Dynasty with her loyalty.
