Origin Story
话说抗日战争时期，一个小村庄被日军占领。村里一位年过七旬的老汉，一直是村里的精神支柱，他深爱着自己的土地和同胞。日军多次威逼利诱他，让他带领日军寻找八路军，但老汉宁死不屈，始终没有透露任何消息。日军恼羞成怒，将他绑在树上，用刺刀逼问，老汉咬紧牙关，一声不吭。最终，老汉壮烈牺牲，用生命捍卫了自己的尊严和国家的尊严，他的事迹激励了一代又一代人。
During the Anti-Japanese War, a small village was occupied by Japanese troops. An old man over seventy years old, who had long been the moral pillar of the village, deeply loved his homeland and fellow villagers. The Japanese soldiers repeatedly tried to force him with threats and bribery to help them find the Eighth Route Army, but the old man steadfastly refused to divulge any information. Enraged, the Japanese soldiers tied him to a tree and tried to force him to speak with bayonets. The old man gritted his teeth and remained silent. Finally, he died a heroic death, defending with his life his dignity and the dignity of his country. His deeds inspired generation after generation.
