However, he was opposed and provoked by his teacher Wei Hai. Xi Zhongxun, who was only 15 years old, was not afraid of rape and had the courage to fight. led everyone to drive Wei Hai out.

But his hard-working and kind-hearted father did not understand his beliefs and always advised him not to make revolution and to go home and farm honestly, away from all dangers. But the young man's belief in advocating light and fighting against all reactionaries is stronger than anyone else.

At this time, Xi Zhongxun was admitted to the Third Provincial Normal University. He tried his best to apply to join the party. Although he was not approved because he was not old enough, he had already started on the road of revolution.

In Sanyuan Normal University, he was detained by the Kuomintang authorities because he actively participated in the patriotic student movement.

The second revolution started with Liu Zhidan, played by Yu Hewei. His boss Ma Hongkui on the train threatened him to join the Kuomintang . He used force threats and financial inducements to make him give up communism so that he could be reused.

But Liu Zhidan would rather die than stay, saying that will not follow anyone, I will only follow the revolution. Then I boarded the train where I was presented with gifts. On the train, all the Communist Party members traveling with Liu Zhidan stood up, took off their military emblems, and threw them out of the train, willing to fight for the revolutionary cause together.

The third revolution was the Qingjian Uprising organized and led by Xie Zichang, Tang Shu and others. This uprising was the first armed uprising launched by the Communists in the northwest during the Agrarian Revolutionary War, and was the first shot in northern China's armed resistance against the Kuomintang reactionaries.

Later, Xie Zichang participated in leading the Weihua Uprising together with Liu Zhidan in 1928. Inspired by the Weihua Uprising, Xi Zhongxun led the "Liangdang Mutiny". Although the uprising ultimately failed, Xi Zhongxun was not discouraged. Instead, he went through hardships, co-founded the Shaanxi-Gansu Red Army with Liu Zhidan, Xie Zichang and others, and opened up the Shaanxi-Gansu revolutionary base area. Several early proletarian revolutionaries in the northwest will eventually converge together. They sow the fire of revolution in this land, igniting the people's hope of resisting oppression and fighting for freedom.
