On the uninhabited grassland, the Red Army only had a pitiful amount of highland barley noodles as rations. Vice Chairman Zhou Enlai also never ate more, and often taught soldiers to cherish food. ||

Highland barley noodles are becoming less and less available, and the soldiers can only use a little mixed with wild vegetables to make soup every day. The young soldier Wu Kaisheng had been hungry for two days. When Vice Chairman Zhou found out, he immediately asked the guards to give him two bowls of the highland barley noodles he had saved. Vice Chairman Zhou looked at Wu Kaisheng's sallow face and said earnestly

"This is the revolution!" Wu Kaisheng said with tears: "As long as I have a breath, I will follow you out of the grassland and revolution to the end! ”

That night, there was a violent storm, and the tent made of sheets could not stop the wind and rain at all. The soldiers all paid attention to the drowned rat. Vice Chairman Zhou ordered the soldiers to take shelter from the rain in the tent where he worked. No one was willing to go because they were afraid of affecting his work. He came in person despite heavy rain. He said: "If you don't go, I will feel uneasy." Vice Chairman Zhou's words were like a fire, warming the hearts of the soldiers.
