At the end of this stone road is the tomb of a long-term worker.
Chang Yuchun, whose real name was Boren, was an outstanding general of the Red Scarf Army at the end of Yuan Dynasty and a founding star of Ming Dynasty. Often when I was a teenager, I followed others to study hard and never slacked off. As an adult, I stand out from the crowd, with strange looks, slender arms and endless strength. I learned something, among which I am best at riding and shooting, and I am good at using all kinds of weapons. In his early years, due to social unrest, Chang Yuchun's official career was not very smooth. He joined the outlaw Liu Ju because of hunger, followed him to plunder, and his life was very happy. But gradually, he found that there was no way out for a long time, and finally he got rid of the bandits and found another way out.

Later, by chance, he entered Zhu Yuanzhang's door, and his career was smooth and he made great contributions. First I fought in Quzhou, and then I fought in Jiuhua Mountain. It is said that when we often enter Jiuhua Mountain, it is very dry and there is no rain, but we have dug six springs, which is really a godsend. Later, he captured Yuan Dadu and won a great victory. Finally, he died suddenly in the army on his way home from the south. Then Zhu Yuanzhang was buried under Zhongshan, where he is today.

I happened to pass by here at that time, and the girl came over and asked me, Is this the main tomb of Chang Yuchun? I didn't answer because this place is quite remote. My buddy talked with me: This should be the main tomb! Because the direction of the cemetery is really north-south In fact, if you look at the words on the tombstone carefully, you can find that it says: the tomb of Chang Yuchun, the ancestor of Kaiping in the late Ming Dynasty.

When I asked again, I learned that the girl said that she had some contact with long-term workers, so she came to worship during the Dragon Boat Festival as a memorial. Although it should be, I was moved by her behavior. Each of us should keep such a mentality of remembering history and remember this history.
Although history is dead, it is alive because of people's concern. Even if we don't have some roots like that girl, we can still pay attention to these historical figures and carry forward China culture.
