In November 1934, after the Long March of the First Red Army broke through the second blockade, the five legions, the central column and agencies successively went to Hunan civilization to rest. It was late autumn and the cold rain was bleak. The three female Red Army took shelter from the rain under the eaves of the old man Xu Jiexiu, a villager in Shazhou Village. Xu Jiexiu actively invited the three of them to share the same bed at home. The three female Red Army and the elderly established a deep friendship. When they parted, the three female Red Army left the only march to her. But Xu Xiexiu refused to accept anything, and you pushed me to make the dispute over. At this time, a female Red Army took out a pair of scissors, cut the quilt in half, and gave the half to Xu Jiexiu, and said: "When the revolution is won, we will come back to see you."
