When the three Red Army leave, they must give their quilt to Xu Jiexiu. The old man said to reporter Luo Kaifu: "Think about it, how can there be such a good army in the world. They have to trek mountains, cross the water, and go in the wind and snow. How can I ask for their quilts? But they don't follow it." So, A female Red Army brought scissors and cut the quilt in half, leaving half for Xu Jiexiu.
After the Red Army left, the enemy drove the entire village to the ancestral hall and forced everyone to tell who had done something for the Red Army. Half of the quilt left by the Red Army was also searched. Xu Jiexiu was also kicked and beaten by a strong puller and knelt for a long time in the ancestral hall. The old man
said to Luo Kaifu: "Although the half of the quilt that Chenguang left for the Red Army suffered a bit, but it also made me understand a truth. What is the Communist Party? The Communist Party has its own quilt, so half of it must be cut. To the people of the common people."
