introduction
The Qi Min Zhi Shu once used eight words to describe the vigorous and upright poplar, saying that it was: "Folding is folding, and it will not be bent in the end." "Throughout the ages, many iron-boned heroes who have left their names in history have inherited the spirit of not bending like poplars, and in the face of the enemy's suppression and persecution, they have never bowed their heads and yielded. Zhao Yiman is one of these heroes, as a weak woman, she was tortured after being imprisoned without revealing half of the information, generously dying, leaving only a 180-word letter to her son before the execution.

Beginning with the September 18 Incident in 1931, China's war against Japan lasted for fourteen years.
