On the evening of the 30th day of the 1942 month, in the cold wind, a team came to Majiawan, Xiaogan Jidian Township, Hubei Province. Early in the morning, Uncle Ma opened the door and looked at it, under the eaves, next to the grass pile, crouching a snowman. Suddenly, the snowmen stood up. The old man saw the familiar gray cloth military uniform, and it turned out that these "snowmen" were all new fourth army. Because they were afraid that the Chinese New Year's Eve would disturb the good dreams of the villagers, the troops strictly ordered the soldiers not to call the door into the house, and they stayed up all night in the wind and snow. Uncle Ma saw that the warriors' faces were purple, frozen, and he was distressed and angry, and he blamed them one after another. The warriors laughed and said, "Uncle, this is our discipline."
