Loyalty to the family style
Mr. Deng Father Xiuchuan was a Confucian with rich national integrity, who read the history of the scriptures and wrote poems. Believing that loyalty and filial piety are the great righteousness of life, sacrificing one's life for the country is supremely glorious. During the Northern Expedition and the War of Resistance, the Deng family sacrificed three people and wounded three people, and were revered by the locality. At that time, when the anti-Japanese smoke was everywhere, every famous city fortress fell, the lives were destroyed, and the people suffered, and the old man would be grief-stricken, but he and his friends composed "White Sand Singing and Collecting", feeling that the rivers and mountains were broken, mourning the many hardships of life, and the indignation overflowed between the words. In the spring of 1939, when Mr. Deng's father, Mr. Xiuchuan, died, the government and the public, from Lin Sen and Chiang Kai-shek, down to the party of the clan and other military and political leaders and local gentry, all paid tribute to each other. As a colleague, Zhu De and Peng Dehuai (the chief and deputy commander-in-chief of the 18th Group Army) wrote the "Philosopher's Many Talents, Prestige And Glory Wanli Lai Zhen Xiangyi; Elderly Still Worried about the Country, The Rivers and Mountains Are Broken and Full of Sorrow and Indignation Poetry", that is, this is also the meaning.
