According to legend, Yang Zirong was born in Shandong, and his family's poverty made him lose his reading opportunities. Therefore, Yang Zirong went out to work with adults when he was very young, and he did a lot of work, and the transportation industry, shipbuilding industry, and handyman were all industries he had been involved in. It was not until one year, when he was dissatisfied with the oppression and exploitation of the Japanese overseers at work, that he injured them and joined our party. When she heard that there were mountain bandits not far away from the local area that were harming the villagers, she asked Miao to transfer her to suppress the bandits. At that time. His early experience in the mixed society helped him a lot, and Yang Zirong used his wisdom to skillfully maneuver around the bandits on all sides, and then cut them apart step by step.

Once, Yang Zirong led a force of less than 30 people up the mountain to suppress the bandits, and even forced more than 400 bandits into a desperate situation. He alone faced a crowd of 400 people, and he was still very clever. After several negotiations, the bandits listened to his persuasion and automatically laid down their arms and surrendered to our army. According to the "Northeast Daily" in February 1947, Yang Zirong, a model fighter in the Mudanjiang Subdistrict, led six comrades to go deep into the bandit nest and captured all twenty-five people below Zhang Leshan, commander of the second detachment of Jiang Ji's second column in northeast China, in one fell swoop. During the battle, the enemy bandit shacks were destroyed and six rifles were captured.

Yang Zirong has always been very bold, often carrying out the task of suppressing bandits alone, refusing to be accompanied by others, and not hesitating to take his life every time he performs the task. At that time, the bandits in Hailin Town were very rampant, and the superiors sent Yang Zirong to carry out the task, and he went alone to suppress the bandits, and in front of the leader Sun Jiang, Yang Zirong was not afraid at all but successfully persuaded Sun Jiang.

In February 1947, most of the bandits in the Mudanjiang area of Heilongjiang Province were eliminated, and some of the remnants of the fleeing bandits had yet to be eliminated. On February 22, the Second Regiment of the Mudanjiang Military Region received reliable information on the activities of the bandit Zheng Sancang in the area of Nazhigou. The regiment then decided that Yang Zirong would lead two reconnaissance squads and a machine gun squad in the form of a small detachment to annihilate the remnants of the bandits by means of fighting while reconnaissance and fighting -- "combining reconnaissance and attack." Just when the two sides started the war, Yang Zirong's gun accidentally failed, and the sudden change made Yang Zirong unable to dodge the other party's bullets and unfortunately died. However, there were many people at that time, and no one knew who fired the gun, and it was impossible to confirm whose hands Yang Zirong had died.

In 1968, the whole country was playing and performing the model play "Wise Tiger Mountain", but in the small village near the place where Yang Zirong died that year, there was a 50-year-old villager Meng Tongchun, who trembled and behaved strangely when he heard Yang Zirong's singing. At that time, people's vigilance was very high, and after investigation and repeated education, Meng Tongchun finally confessed a big incident, he was the bandit Meng Laosan who escaped from the bandit's nest. According to his recollection, Yang Zirong was shot three times in the body, but Meng Tongchun only fired one shot, and the other two shots fired by the other bandits could not be verified because they were all killed. Meng Tongchun was sentenced to eight years in prison for pleading guilty.

In May 1989, Meng Tongchun fell ill and died at his niece's house at the age of 80.
