1943 One morning in February, in Zhaozhuang, Donggou Township, Funing County, Yancheng City, the sun shone feebly on this small village with only a dozen families. Many people are talking about the fact that Zhang Aiping, deputy commander of the Third Division of the New Fourth Army, recently led troops here to fight against the Japanese puppet troops.

Originally, Zhang Aiping was on his way to lead the troops to transfer, where he met the Japanese puppet troops who went to the countryside to "mop up". Chen Changfa, the platoon leader of the guard, and a dozen people stayed behind to cover the main breakthrough. After the task was completed, Chen Changfa was seriously ill with a cold. She was ill and lived in Liu Da's home in this village. Unexpectedly, this morning, dozens of Japanese puppet troops came to the village, arrested Chen Changfa, Aunt Liu's son and five or six young people in the village and tied them to a tree at the edge of the village. They want to find the new fourth army. The enemy said, "Take your son and husband home."

Aunt Liu walked past her son non-stop and went to Chen Changfa and said, "This is my son." Her son was finally stabbed to death by the bayonets of the Japanese and puppet troops under a neem tree tied to him.
