After Japan launched the war of aggression against China, it caused tremendous damage to the entire Chinese land, and with the Japanese army's step-by-step aggression against the land of China, men and children all over the country rose up to kill the enemy, and countless revolutionary martyrs and heroes emerged. And among the millions of Sichuan troops, there was such a person, Wang Jiantang, before leaving Sichuan, his father gave him a flag and wrote a big word: Die! This is the famous dead flag.
Wang Jiantang's father was Wang Zhicheng, a man of great character and a heart, who watched the country suffer the ravages of the Japanese war, and before his son went out on the expedition, he wrote a dead flag by hand and gave it to his son who was leaving. In the middle of the flag is a big dead letter. To the right of the dead word is a small line: I do not want you to be filial to me in front of me, but I only want you to be loyal in the national division. On the left are: the country is in trouble, the Japanese are vicious, the country rises and falls, the puppet has the responsibility, the original wants to serve, Nai has passed the age, fortunately I have a son, consciously ask for help, give a flag, always carry, wipe blood when wounded, wrap up when dead, bravely go forward, do not forget your duty. Drop the money, father's hand.
After the Lugou Bridge Incident in 1937, Wang Jiantang, who was still a student at the time, decided to abandon his pen and congrong, he invited several like-minded young people to form a killing team, determined to serve the country, and later the number reached more than 100 people, and pulled on the banner of "Northwest Sichuan Youth Please Kill the Enemy Team", left Sichuan in the autumn of that year, rushed to the battlefield, and when he was leaving, Wang Zhicheng entrusted people to send this 'dead' flag to his son.
It is said that at that time, after requesting the county government to fight against Japan, Wang Jiantang, at the farewell meeting, the county magistrate Cheng Yunzhang opened this banner, and then, at the farewell meeting, these words were brought out, and many people at the scene at that time were excited after hearing these words. At that time, the Chengdu "New News" newspaper also published this matter under the title of "Model Father". As a result, the idea of the dead flag spread throughout Sichuan.
When Wang Jiantang went out to fight the little devil, he used this flag many times to wipe the wounded blood and wrap the wound, and he fought heroically in the army, serving as a company commander, a platoon leader, a headquarters staff officer, and many other positions, and even served as a death squad many times, making countless battle achievements, and his greatest wish was to bring the dead character flag back to his old father alive.
Unfortunately, due to the fierce war, the original of the dead flag was lost in many troop transfers. What now exists is a replica of Wang Jiantang's memory, and this banner bears witness to the patriotic feelings of the sons and daughters of China, and even more to the character of the Izukawa soldiers who serve the country and the people.
Behind this banner, Wang Jiantang's father, Wang Zhicheng, was so open-minded when he wrote this banner. A father, facing a son who is going to the battlefield, not only does not exhort him to save his life and filial piety to the elderly, but also encourages his determination not to be afraid of death and not to fear the enemy, and to be loyal to the country. This character is an example for countless people, and when I read this oracle, I feel a lot of emotions in my heart, not to mention the psychology of the writer. The wind is cold and the water is cold, and the hero will not return once he is gone!
