Since the concept of "civilization" existed in human society, literature and art have become the existence that best manifests the spirit and culture of a nation. In the turbulent years of war, literary and artistic works that can embody the tenacious spirit of struggle and boost morale are not only the continuation of a national culture, but also the link that unites the masses of the people. In December 1941, after the fall of Hong Kong, the Japanese army realized that in order to kill the Chinese people's sense of resistance, they had to eliminate their spiritual pillars, so they pointed the spearhead at a group of cultural celebrities who were hiding on Hong Kong Island at that time and insisted on speaking out against Japan. In order to rescue more than 800 anti-Japanese cultural figures, patriotic democrats, and their families, including He Xiangning, Liu Yazi, Mao Dun, Zou Taofen, and Cai Chusheng, Zhou Enlai led and deployed various forces, organized and implemented by Liao Chengzhi and other organizations, and successfully completed the "secret rescue" of Guangdong and Hong Kong that shocked China and foreign countries, which can be described as a miracle in the world's military history.

In the secret rescue operation, there was a heroic, selfless and fearless patriot who assisted the party and the revolution, that is, Liao Anxiang, who was known as the "Great Hero of Meizhou". His rich collection of calligraphy and paintings reflects the unique spiritual culture and revolutionary integrity of the Chinese nation displayed by cultural celebrities in that special period.
