Before his death, the old Red Army Han Xianliang was a star veteran in the Donghu Cadre Retirement House of the Hunan Military Region. He was the first 100-year-old Red Army after the construction of the Donghu Casualty Retirement Office, and was also the guard of Wang Jinshan, one of the prototypes of Li Yunlong in the TV series " Bright Sword ".

Since 1933, guard Han Xianliang has been with a generation of general Wang Jinshan for five years, and has saved Wang Jinshan's life four times.

Wang Jinshan, who is crazy in war, has more faces in Han's eyes. During the Long March of , the Red Fourth Front Army of , after crossing the west to the Jialing River, , surrounded , and threatened Chengdu. The defender Liu Xiang's troops were frightened and urgently dispatched their superior forces to reinforce Jiangyou. The enemy was numerous and we were few. After the defense line was broken through by the enemy, the Red Army troops began to evacuate, but Wang Jinshan refused to leave and even sat on the position and started crying. "Many people may not believe it. Wang Jinshan is a man who is willing to fight. Once he loses a war, he will stay on the position and sometimes even cry." In May 2006, Han Xianliang, then 92 years old, described his old leader to the media in this way.

At that time, the enemy's encirclement was imminent, and Han Xianliang didn't care about so much. He and the commander of the Ministry grabbed Wang Jinshanfei and rushed out as if. Although everyone successfully broke through, Han Xianliang was shot in the waist.

"There are two more times when they accompanied Wang Jinshan to the front line to observe the enemy's situation, but they were attacked by the enemy." Han Xianliang opened fire while covering his gun, and Wang Jinshan finally evacuated safely.

"Wang Jinshan saved my life twice." Once, Han Xianliang was injured, and Wang Jinshan gave him the mule he rode . He rode Han's horse, the mule was strong, and he walked the mountain road more steadily and would not break the wound. Another time, Han Xianliang's leg was injured by a bullet and could not walk, so Wang Jinshan asked someone to carry him on a stretcher to march for half a month. Although he has experienced many battles, was injured seven times, and destroyed countless enemies, he still sighed when he recalled the passionate years of fighting.

After the anti-encirclement and suppression, the War of Resistance Against Japan and the War of Liberation. Han Xianliang served as the instructor of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army, instructor of the chief and deputy battalion, battalion commander, chief of staff and deputy regiment commander, chief of staff and deputy division commander of the 39th Division of the 13th Army of the Second Field, chief of intelligence department of the Fourth Corps of the Second Field, director of the training department of the Tianshui 1st Step School in Gansu, and deputy commander of the Tianshui Military Sub-district. In 1988, Han Xianliang was awarded the second-level Red Star Merit Medal.

In 2006, Han Xianliang finally made up for the "bigest regret in his life" - finding his parents' tomb and erecting a monument for them. "I want to make it clear to the villagers in my hometown in Hubei that I have forgotten my ancestors as an official."

On August 8 of the same year, Han Xianliang took his wife Li Gaixiang to the Changsha Arc de Triomphe Studio. They commemorated the diamond wedding with a set of fashionable wedding photos. At that time, the couple had been together for 60 years. Li Gaixiang commented on Han Xianliang, "be kind to others and be responsible to the family."

Unfortunately, Han Xianliang and Li Gaixiang did not wait for their Platinum Wedding . On August 26, 2015, 30 days after Li Gaixiang passed away, Han Xianliang passed away. The 101-year-old Red Army soldier left forever with regrets of not being able to watch the parade for the 70th anniversary of the victory of the Anti-Japanese War.
