"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law borrows a pair of small hands from you, holding a handful of black soil to bury the enemy first..." This steamy song, which spread throughout China in the 1990s, was the ending song of a popular TV series "Zhao Shangzhi" at that time - "Ode to Sister-in-law".
Many years later, this song is still sung, and what is less known is: why did a TV series that celebrates the iron bones and national heroes of Zheng Zheng choose "Ode to sister-in-law" as the ending song?
The glory of the family The hero of the nation
The reporter came to Shangzhi Township, Chaoyang County, Chaoyang City, Liaoning Province, to visit this secret. The lush Yunmeng Mountain is lush and green, and the clear Xiaoling River flows slowly, where the famous anti-Japanese general Zhao Shangzhi grew up.

In early autumn, the Zhao Shangzhi Martyrs Cemetery is covered with pines and cypresses, solemn and solemn. Under the sunshine, the 9 big characters of "Zhao Shangzhi Martyr Immortal" on the monument shine brightly.
In the burial chamber of the memorial hall, the skull of General Zhao Shangzhi is buried. 13 years ago, on the 100th anniversary of the birth of General Zhao Shangzhi, the skull of the general who had been missing for more than 60 years was buried here and his soul returned to his hometown.
In Shangzhi Township, when the heroic deeds of General Zhao Shangzhi were mentioned, the villagers were all proud: "He is the glory of our village and our entire family." He was a true hero. ”

Zhao Shangzhi was born into a rural family, and he ranked sixth among the eleven brothers and sisters and third among boys. His father named him "Shangzhi" from the "Sage Shangzhi" in "Zhuangzi Deliberately", hoping that he would have the ambition of a bird.
In 1925, at the age of 17, Zhao Shangzhi joined the Communist Party of China, one of the earliest party members in the northeast region. In 1926, he returned to the northeast to engage in revolutionary activities. After the "918 Incident", he was appointed as a member of the Standing Committee of the Manchurian Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China and the secretary of the Central Military Commission.
In an extremely difficult and difficult and dangerous environment, Zhao Shangzhi led the Anti-Japanese Coalition forces to carry out unimaginable and arduous battles against the Japanese puppet army, expeditioning to the Songnen Plain, climbing ice and lying in the snow, sleeping in the wind, eating and sleeping, and fighting more than a hundred times, breaking the Japanese puppet army's repeated heavy "crusades" and "liquidations."
On February 12, 1942, Zhao Shangzhi was seriously wounded and captured while leading his troops to fight the enemy, preferring to die unyieldingly, treating death as a homecoming, and denouncing the enemy. The fierce enemy cut off his head, transported him to Changchun to celebrate the gong, and threw his body into the ice cave of the Songhua River.
Zhao Shangzhi's father had three sons, all of whom fought on the battlefield of the Anti-Japanese War. When he heard that the third son, Zhao Shangzhi, was martyred, his father did not shed tears, and he said to his family: "After I die, poke a board in front of my grave and write on it the five words 'Father of Zhao Shangzhi'!" ”
For their children's anti-Japanese righteous deeds, the couple has always supported them. Zhao's father also let the family hide from his old partner, and Zhao's mother has been looking forward to the return of her son. Until 1957, 15 years after Zhao Shangzhi's sacrifice, a relative who visited the door said in front of Zhao's mother: Don't look forward to it anymore, your son Zhao Shangzhi has already died on the battlefield. The mother listened, did not ask anything more, and died a few days later. Less than a year later, the old father also passed away.
Guardian Hero There are thousands of "sisters-in-law" in the northeast
"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law borrowed a pair of you to block the sun, we are good to win the battle..." In Shangzhi Township, this familiar song is still sung by people.
"In fact, what my sister-in-law uses with her body plate is not the sun, but the muzzle of the Japanese gun." Zheng Ying, deputy director of the Zhao Shangzhi Memorial Hall, said that in order to protect Zhao Shangzhi's white horse, Zhao Shangzhi's sister-in-law Jiang Deli blocked the muzzle of the gun.
In 1936, Zhao Shangzhi led the troops to establish the Hadong Anti-Japanese Base Area. Arsenals, quilt factories, and rear hospitals have been established in the base areas. Zhao Shangzhi and Zhao Yiman had also recovered from their injuries here.
A large number of objects exhibited in the Zhao Shangzhi Memorial Hall record the moving stories of the unity of the military and the people and the deep love of fish and water in the base area. The Hadong Anti-Japanese Base Area was also called the "People's Red Land" by the masses.
Zheng Ying said that the "sister-in-law" in "Ode to sister-in-law" is synonymous with the people of Northeast China. This Jiang Deli is one of the "sisters-in-law".
During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, there were thousands of "sisters-in-law" in the northeast who paid meticulous care and even their lives to the national heroes who resisted the Japanese invasion.
"Little Manchukuo, great Zhao Shangzhi" was a helpless exclamation issued by the Japanese invaders. The enemy believed that many of the casualties of the Kwantung Army in Manchuria were caused by Zhao Shangzhi, and what they called "Southern Yang and Northern Zhao", "Southern Yang" was Yang Jingyu of Southern Manchuria, and "Northern Zhao" was Zhao Shangzhi of Northern Manchuria.

Do not forget the original intention until death
"What is it to remember the original intention and remember the mission?" Zhao Shangzhi wrote down his answer. Xu Guoli, director of the Zhao Shangzhi Memorial Hall, said that Zhao Shangzhi had been arrested and imprisoned three times and expelled from the party twice, but he still strictly guarded the party's secrets until his death.
Zhao Shangzhi was first expelled from the party after the defeat of the Bayan guerrillas in 1933, and the Manchurian Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China inappropriately blamed all the blame on Zhao Shangzhi and expelled him from the party.
After being expelled from the party, Zhao Shangzhi still did not change his original intention, always loyal to the party, and was extremely firm in the cause of resisting Japan. He successively created the Zhuhe anti-Japanese guerrilla group and established the Hadong Anti-Japanese Base Area, and Zhao Shangzhi finally won the trust of the party and the masses with practical actions. On January 12, 1935, the Manchuria Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China made the Decision on restoring Comrade Zhao Shangzhi's Party membership.
At the beginning of 1940, Zhao Shangzhi, who had once again been expelled from the party, still had not lost his revolutionary confidence and fighting spirit. He wrote "Northeast Red Star Wall Newspaper" and wrote articles such as "A Brief Description of the Past and Present Situation of the Anti-Japanese Guerrillas in Northeast China" under the pseudonym of "Xiangzhi". He was frustrated and committed to resisting Japan.
In mid-October 1941, Zhao Shangzhi led Jiang Lixin and four other anti-coalition fighters to return to the northeast anti-Japanese battlefield at the mouth of the Dama River in Luobei County. Zhao Shangzhi made a vow: Never leave the motherland again, and die on the anti-Japanese battlefield in the northeast.
A letter of request he wrote to the Northern Manchurian provincial party committee after his second expulsion from the party on display in the Zhao Shangzhi Memorial Hall bears witness to the general's unswerving loyalty to the party. He said: "Party membership is the life of every Communist Party member, and I have asked the Party for examination and organizational restoration of my Party membership, and I cannot leave the Party for a day, and the Party should not give up its leadership over me for a day." ”
However, it is very regrettable that until the time of Zhao Shangzhi's death, he still bears the bad name of being expelled from the party. It was not until 1982, 40 years after Zhao Shangzhi's death, that the Heilongjiang Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China rehabilitated him and restored his party membership.

"Fight for freedom, vow to resist." Follow the horse aid, wrap the body back. Today, when Zhao Shangzhi's niece Zhao Shuhong recited the words and phrases in Zhao Shangzhi's "Black Water, White Mountains, And Sending Them to The Red Of The Rivers" written by Zhao Shangzhi that year, she still felt the arrogance of a general.
In order to praise the heroic deeds of Zhao Shangzhi, Zhao Shuhong served as a docent at the Zhao Shangzhi Memorial Hall for nearly 20 years. In the tens of thousands of explanations, what impressed her the most was the audience's gaze on the hero's worship and the tears in her eyes.
When Zhao Shuhong's daughter had just learned things, she would learn her appearance in front of the children, holding a small stick while painting and chanting: "Zhao Shangzhi was born in Chaoyang, Liaoning Province, and was a famous anti-Japanese general..."
Today, Zhao Shuhong's daughter is 22 years old, a graduate student at China University of Political Science and Law, standing on the stage of the university's speech competition to tell the heroic story of her grandfather and the pride of the heroes' descendants.
