In people’s minds, Sichuan people particularly love spicy food. They are generally open-minded and seem to live a contented life. However, those who are familiar with the cultural background of Sichuan have probably heard the saying "Sichuan people have never betrayed their country." This sentence sounds tragic and tragic, and there seems to be some earth-shattering story behind it. So, where does this sentence come from? Why is such a sentence popular? What kind of wars has the Sichuan Army experienced in the past?
As we all know, Mongolia was invincible in ancient history, which made other armies very cowardly. However, the Battle of Diaoyu City was a unique failure, and the one who lost this war to the Mongols was Wang Jian, the guard of Diaoyu City, an important town in eastern Sichuan. When Mongol Khan Mengge attacked Diaoyu City, he was hit by flying rocks. Therefore, he left his last words saying that if this city is captured, then everyone in the city must be killed. After that, the generals of Diaoyu City guarded the city until the Southern Song Dynasty was destroyed and Kublai Khan promised not to leave anyone or anything in Diaoyu City, so the defenders opened the city gate.
After that, all the generals felt that they were ashamed of their elders in Sichuan. They felt that they had failed to protect the city, so they all committed suicide. This is why the saying "Sichuan people have never failed their country" comes from this. Such a story is extremely tragic, but it also illustrates the loyalty of the Sichuan Army from one perspective. In fact, in the eastern Sichuan region during the Anti-Japanese War, the loyalty and determination of the Sichuan disciples to protect their homeland and country also moved people to tears.
In the National Revolutionary Army Martyrs Cemetery in Yunnan, most of the martyrs are descendants of Sichuan, and their stories are very touching. Many people are attracted by the plot of the film and television work "My Soldiers, My Regiment". In fact, most of the people lying in the Martyrs Cemetery are prototypes of the characters in this film and television work. On the way to the war, the Sichuan army walked thousands of miles and suffered a lot along the way. When the money on the road ran out, they begged from the people around them and were very poor.
How tragic was this war? The people of Sichuan witnessed this incident with their own eyes. On a cold winter night, Grandma Chen, who sold a glutinous rice dumpling shop in eastern Sichuan, was about to close her shop, but she saw soldiers covered with wounds in the wind and snow. Grandma Chen recognized at a glance that this was a disciple from Sichuan, so she hurriedly made glutinous rice balls. However, when she came out, she found that there were Ming coins on the table and the soldiers were long gone.
Grandma Chen quickly called her neighbors. One of the uncles said that this was not the real Sichuan Army, but the dead soul of the Sichuan Army. They came to visit their hometown. That night, Grandma Chen and the villagers did not sleep. Together they cooked bowl after bowl of glutinous rice balls for the Sichuan Army. However, the Sichuan Army was never seen. Perhaps because they were unwilling to cause too much trouble to the villagers, the Sichuan army never came back.
But no matter what, the tragic figure of the Sichuan Army has been engraved in our hearts. The Sichuan People’s Disciple Soldiers have always adhered to the responsibility of protecting their homeland and the country. No matter how much hardship they endured along the way, they were not willing to give up. , no matter how many hardships they go through, they will never regret it. The story of Grandma Chen cooking glutinous rice balls is very touching. For the people of Sichuan, they hope that the Sichuan troops can return to their hometown. They are willing to cook a bowl of hot glutinous rice balls for the Sichuan troops every day.
