Lu Zimei old man
The regimental commander's name was Lu Zimei, and in 1979, before the lanzhou military region camp, an old man in tattered clothes was ushered in, and this old man pointed out that he wanted to see General Xiao Hua, the political commissar of the military region, and the guards told the old man that General Xiao Hua would have to wait for a few days to return when he went to Xinjiang, but the old man insisted on seeing Xiao Hua. And said that he was Xiao Hua's old comrade-in-arms Lu Zimei, heard the old man say this, the guard hurriedly called Xiao Hua who was far away in Xinjiang, and Xiao Hua, after confirming that it was Lu Zimei, asked the guards to properly arrange the old man And put down the work at hand and rushed back to Lanzhou, a few days later Xiao Hua returned, the two old comrades-in-arms finally said goodbye after more than 40 years, Xiao Hua said with emotion, Old comrade-in-arms, How come you come to me now, I thought you had sacrificed.

Once, taking advantage of the fact that the guards did not pay attention, Lu Zimei escaped from the enemy's imprisonment, but he could no longer find the team, the Red Army's whereabouts on the Long March have always been very secret, even the enemy's large troops are difficult to find, not to mention Lu Zimei alone, two months later, Lu Zimei, who was fruitless in searching for troops, had to temporarily return to his hometown.
