Qingfengling is not only a scenic spot, but also a heroic mountain. After the "9.18" incident, Wang Wenfu (nicknamed Wang Laochi) organized the people of his hometown to resist Japan here and persisted in the struggle for 14 years, making this land truly become a "Chinese land" that the Japanese had never occupied. The prototype of Zhao Laoga in the TV series "Land of China" is Wang Wenfu. Wang Wenfu was an illiterate peasant with four brothers, the eldest son of Nagato. Because of his violent temperament, he handled things "dead chisels", and people gave him the nickname "Wang Lao chisel". He was medium-sized and often carried a pistol with a wooden shell around his waist. After "9/18", the 58-year-old Wang Laochi led his family to take a special form to carry out anti-Manchu resistance in Qingfengling (Shimingxingou). They never took the initiative to attack the Japanese and puppet military and police, but resolutely rejected the reactionary rule of the Japanese and puppets. When the Japanese puppet military and police came to fight, Wang Laochi led his people to confront the Japanese invading army on the Silangzi Mountain. In the natural stone cave under the stone cliff behind the mountain, rice noodles and water are stored for long-term perseverance. Unfortunately, shortly after the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan, Wang Laochi defected to the Kuomintang and fled to Jinzhou, where he was appointed commander of the cavalry division by the Kuomintang. After the liberation of Jinzhou, Wang Laochi was recognized in the street, and the Municipal Public Security Bureau arrested him and died in Chaoyang Prison in 1951.
