Origin Story
1940年代，中国共产党领导下的八路军深入敌后，开展游击战争，与当地人民建立了密切的联系。战士们不仅要与敌人作战，还要帮助当地人民解决生活上的困难。他们经常深入农村，访贫问苦，了解人民群众的疾苦，并尽力帮助他们。一位老战士回忆说："那时候，我们白天打仗，晚上就住在老乡家里。为了更好地了解群众的需要，我们经常访贫问苦，询问他们的生活情况，了解他们的困难和愿望。一些老乡家里很穷，连饭都吃不饱，我们就把自己带的粮食分给他们。"。在这些访贫问苦的过程中，战士们深刻地体会到人民群众的艰苦生活，也更加坚定了他们为人民服务的信念。正是因为他们对人民的深切关怀，赢得了广大人民群众的支持和信任，为抗日战争的胜利做出了巨大贡献。
In the 1940s, the 8th Route Army, led by the Communist Party of China, went deep into the enemy's rear and launched guerrilla warfare, establishing close ties with the local people. The soldiers not only had to fight the enemy but also help the local people solve their living difficulties. They frequently went deep into the countryside to visit the poor and suffering, understanding the hardships of the people and trying their best to help them. An old soldier recalled: "At that time, we fought during the day and stayed in the homes of local people at night. To better understand the needs of the masses, we often visited the poor and the suffering, inquiring about their living conditions and understanding their difficulties and aspirations. Some villagers were very poor, couldn't even get enough to eat, so we would share our food with them." Through these visits, the soldiers deeply understood the difficult lives of the people, and this strengthened their determination to serve the people. Because of their deep concern for the people, they won the support and trust of the broad masses, making a significant contribution to the victory of the Anti-Japanese War.
