Chen Yi, who was in a heavy war situation, only had time to come and take a look when his son was born. , and left in a hurry. It was not that he was ungrateful, but that the mission shouldered by Marshal Chen Yi was too heavy.

At the end of the same year, Chen Yi led the army to Huainan, and it was impossible for the child to accompany the army. In desperation, Chen Yi could only entrust his son to a trustworthy local gentry named Zou Lushan.

This was very dangerous under the circumstances at that time. Zou Lushan could refuse it completely, because if he were not careful, if the enemy discovered that he was hiding the child of the leader of the New Fourth Army, he would be killed. But Zou Lushan and his wife agreed immediately and tried their best to protect Chen Yi's son. They even covered the child during the Japanese raids.
