Comradeship in the revolutionary era is particularly precious in peacetime, and some people talk about the four great joys of life, one of which is: carrying a gun together. Accustomed to wind and rain and blood, with the passage of time, friendship is like a glass of old wine, the longer it becomes more fragrant, among the founding generals of new China, an admirable thing happened, the two generals met and buried together after death.
They are the founding lieutenant general Kuang Fuzhao and the founding major general Liu Bingyan.

That night, Liu Bingyan, Kuang Fu Zhao, ren Zimu slept on the same kang.
The next day, when Liu Bingyan and Kuang Fuzhao woke up, Ren Zimu had already died, and the two were very sad.
While chatting, Liu Bingyan and Kuang Fuzhao talked about the war, about Ren Zimu, and about sacrifice, and Liu Bingyan said: "The two of us died later, one buried on the bank of the Daqing River, one buried on the bank of the Yongding River, still standing guard for the people in the triangle. ”
