According to this, the wind collection group learned about the history of the flavorful snack Huangqiao baked cake, and was moved by the deep affection of the military and civilian fish behind it.
An old blanket lies quietly in the showroom, which is a national second-class cultural relic. The owner of this blanket is the famous general Wang Bicheng. In countless battles, he always carried this old blanket. Why did it make General Wang Bicheng love it so much? It turned out that this old blanket was a relic of Xu Xukui, commander of the 9th Regiment of the 2nd Column of the Northern Soviet Command of the New Fourth Army. Xu Xukui was killed in a battle in 1940 and gave the blanket to Wang Bicheng. In order to commemorate his comrades-in-arms, Wang Bicheng has always kept this blanket by his side, day and night, for 49 years. An old blanket allowed the wind gathering group to witness the deep affection and determination of Wang Bicheng and Xu Xukui's comrades-in-arms to fight the war.
