I\u0026rsquo;ve always had that feeling.\nIn my first year of middle school, my mood during the farewell was quite restless—that day (June 11, 2023) was a Sunday, interrupting my rest time. My middle school, however, held a grand farewell event every June 11. As I watched the performances and the third-year seniors packing their bags, I thought to myself: does the entire third year really pass as quickly as they say? First year, second year\u0026hellip; by the time we take our high school entrance exam, they\u0026rsquo;ll almost be adults! Perhaps it\u0026rsquo;s true what our homeroom teacher said: \u0026lsquo;Three years may seem long, but in reality, it\u0026rsquo;s very short.\u0026rsquo;\nIn the blink of an eye, another year passed. In my second year, our Chinese teacher asked us to randomly pick a third-year senior and write them a graduation blessing. As the exam approached, I did write a blessing and gave it to a graduating student. That classmate was overjoyed. Seeing my surprised expression, he said, \u0026lsquo;This is the best graduation gift I\u0026rsquo;ve received! With this blessing and the send-off from over a thousand pairs of eyes, my confidence is stronger than ever!\u0026rsquo; At that moment, I understood that the greatest wish of exam candidates is nothing more than the blessings and farewells from their juniors!\nAfter the farewell ceremony, confused thoughts flooded my mind: once they leave, I\u0026rsquo;ll be in my third year. \u0026lsquo;Three years like one day\u0026rsquo;—it seems true. Can I surpass my past three years on the exam? Can I get into a high school of my choice?\nFinally, my own graduation season arrived. On June 5, I received a blessing from a second-year student. Though the words were simple, the content was truly sincere! After reading it, my eyes welled up! Indeed, the high school entrance exam is like a relay baton, passed from one cohort to the next, never stopping! Only the blessings from students year after year can keep exam takers from feeling empty in the exam hall!\nIn a flash, I\u0026rsquo;m now in the second semester of my first year of high school. It\u0026rsquo;s graduation season again! Except high school doesn\u0026rsquo;t hold farewell events. Still, I picked up my pen and wrote a graduation blessing for a senior in their third year. I hope he can use my blessing to get into his dream university! I also hope more students will see them off, so at least they won\u0026rsquo;t feel empty or like they\u0026rsquo;re fighting alone!\nIn this June, I want to gently dedicate this song \"Cheers\" by Mayday to every one of you heading to the exam hall—may you, at the moment you close your pen cap, be able to raise a glass with a smile, toasting this youth without regrets.\n🎵 Cheers\nMayday · Second Round (Doomsday Edition)\nSorry, your browser does not support HTML5 audio. \"这一生只愿只要平凡快乐，谁说这样不伟大呢。\"\nTo—all students heading to the exams, safe travels!\nJune 5th.

The main people involved are three:\nRed (pseudonym) — the person involved, the victim Xiaochen (pseudonym) — neighbor, person involved, victim Liu (pseudonym) — the perpetrator For ease of narration, I will lay out the whole thing in a timeline.\nTimeline\r#\rHow Xiaochen and Liu First Met\r#\rIn February 2025, Liu, Xiaochen, and Xiaoyin (not closely related) agreed to go to Chengdu Qinglong Lake Park together. Because Xiaochen wasn\u0026rsquo;t in good physical shape, he didn\u0026rsquo;t want to walk after a short while. Liu suddenly offered to carry him on his back—they weren\u0026rsquo;t familiar with each other at that time. Xiaochen found this person a bit strange and initially refused, but after Liu\u0026rsquo;s repeated requests, he agreed.\nUnexpectedly, Liu called other tourists to secretly take photos of him carrying Xiaochen—and Xiaochen was completely unaware of this. Even worse, Liu posted the photos on his Moments with disgusting captions, set to be visible only to certain groups. That\u0026rsquo;s why Xiaochen never noticed this post.\nAround early April, Liu sent Xiaochen some fruit and forced Xiaochen to accept it. Xiaochen reluctantly gave an address of a parcel station. Later, Liu often came to Chengdu to hang out with Xiaochen and even treated him to a hotpot meal.\nMy (Red\u0026rsquo;s) Interaction with Liu\r#\rOn March 28, 2026, Liu added me as a friend via QQ Zone, and the verification passed at 6:40.\nAfter adding, he chatted with me about a lot—history, planets\u0026hellip; all sorts of random topics. I didn\u0026rsquo;t delete him right away, just kept him for the time being. At 7:20, he said he was going to morning self-study, and I immediately became suspicious: Which school has morning self-study starting at 7:20? This person gave me a weird feeling.\nAt 13:31 that day, he asked if I was a freshman in high school, claiming he was a freshman in 2021**. Later, he said he was a science-track transfer senior repeat student.\nIn the evening, he started asking for my name. I was a bit confused: whether someone tells you their real name or not, what difference does it make? Later, I went to school, and he kept sending me messages—I really regret not deleting him right then. Later, he said he wanted to come see me. What? I\u0026rsquo;ve only known him for a few days, and he wants to meet already? He also told me that Xiaochen\u0026rsquo;s parents have a \u0026ldquo;controlling tendency\u0026rdquo; toward Xiaochen—what we ordinary people understand as control is definitely oppression, not allowing going out, having to follow everything\u0026hellip; but the later explanation was completely different!\nI decided to test him, replied with \u0026ldquo;Mm-hmm,\u0026rdquo; and he actually believed it. After that, no matter what he sent, I ignored it.\nI went to QQ Zone and found out—he came to my QQ Zone every day to look at the photo albums! And with people in them! I felt a sense of being watched, utterly disgusted, so I immediately locked my Zone.\nThreats\r#\rI always thought that if I ignored him, he would ignore me too. But that wasn\u0026rsquo;t the case.\nOn April 4, he directly threatened me:\n\u0026ldquo;Either you lift that thing and talk properly, don\u0026rsquo;t play dead there, or I\u0026rsquo;ll just block you.\u0026rdquo; I was scared and blocked him without a second thought.\nHowever\u0026hellip; the next day, he brought his classmate into it, demanding that I apologize to him!\nI was utterly speechless. His classmate only knew he was 19—it can be said that he hid his true age from everyone. Even worse, he randomly posted other people\u0026rsquo;s photos! I was furious—how dare he use my photos without permission? He never mentioned a word about what he had done!\nXiaochen\u0026rsquo;s Experience\r#\rMy part is temporarily over; let me continue with Xiaochen\u0026rsquo;s side.\nFrom April 1 to the Qingming Festival, Liu kept asking Xiaochen if he wanted to go out. Xiaochen brushed it off with the tomb-sweeping excuse. Guess what Liu said to me? \u0026ldquo;Tomb-sweeping is meaningless to anyone.\u0026rdquo; I can only say he is extremely prejudiced.\nAfter that, he asked Xiaochen every day what he was doing. How is this like a senior high school student? He clearly knew Xiaochen didn\u0026rsquo;t want to talk to him, yet he kept harassing him—others also have to go to school!\nLater, Xiaochen said his mom didn\u0026rsquo;t allow him to hang out with Liu. Guess what happened?\nLiu directly took the high-speed rail to Chengdu, went to his mom\u0026rsquo;s shop, and \u0026ldquo;poured two hours of sweet talk.\u0026rdquo; When the mom came home, she scolded Xiaochen. Xiaochen completely broke down and showed the chat records to his mom—after reading them, she said nothing.\nTwo days later, Liu went to see his mom again, this time directly accusing her of having \u0026ldquo;control issues.\u0026rdquo;\nAnd what did he understand as \u0026ldquo;control\u0026rdquo;?—When a child goes out to play, the parents ask: \u0026ldquo;Where are you going?\u0026rdquo; \u0026ldquo;Who are you going with?\u0026rdquo; \u0026ldquo;What kind of person is that?\u0026rdquo;\u0026hellip; Isn\u0026rsquo;t that the parents\u0026rsquo; duty???\nFortunately, after this, Xiaochen cut ties with Liu. But little did we expect—\nContinuous Harassment\r#\rAfter Xiaochen deleted him as a friend, Liu found Xiaochen\u0026rsquo;s contact information through various channels, saying \u0026ldquo;return the money\u0026rdquo;—the so-called fruit money, the full amount of the hotpot, and the hundreds of yuan in red envelopes forced on Xiaochen (totaling less than 150 yuan).\nThis is simply inhuman. He also threatened that if the money wasn\u0026rsquo;t returned, he would go to Xiaochen\u0026rsquo;s school to spread rumors and tell the head teacher, with the goal of getting his Strong Foundation Plan canceled!\nWhat broke me the most last week was—Liu somehow got my friend\u0026rsquo;s WeChat and sent him inexplicable messages. The thought of it is terrifying!\nEpilogue\r#\rPlease judge: who is at fault? Xiaochen is already prepared to file a police report.\nI was very emotional when writing this article, so the writing might be a bit messy. Please forgive me.\nRed\nMay 23, 2026\n","date":"2026-05-23","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/en/posts/netizen/","section":"Posts","summary":"","title":"A Record of a Harassment Incident","type":"posts"},{"content":"","date":"2026-05-23","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/en/tags/records/","section":"Tags","summary":"","title":"Records","type":"tags"},{"content":"","date":"2026-05-23","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/zh-tw/tags/%E8%A8%98%E9%8C%84/","section":"Tags","summary":"","title":"記錄","type":"tags"},{"content":"","date":"2026-05-23","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/ja/tags/%E8%A8%98%E9%8C%B2/","section":"Tags","summary":"","title":"記録","type":"tags"},{"content":"","date":"2026-05-23","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/tags/%E8%AE%B0%E5%BD%95/","section":"Tags","summary":"","title":"记录","type":"tags"},{"content":"Drunk, I no longer know the sky is in the water; the boat is laden with clear dreams pressing upon the Milky Way.\nHi, I\u0026rsquo;m Reid 👋\r#\rDocumenting life, photography, and interesting things.\nKnowing that what cannot be obtained in haste, I entrust my lingering echoes to the mournful wind.\n","date":"2026-05-04","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/en/","section":"Reid's Blog","summary":"","title":"Reid's Blog","type":"page"},{"content":"Hello! Thank you for being willing to click on this. This article is a bit long, so please bear with me and read it through.\nGuess why I\u0026rsquo;m so eager to message you? Because I have my own troubles.\nI\u0026rsquo;ve never known how to interact with others. In the first year of junior high, I was often teased by classmates, but no one told me \u0026ldquo;why I was being teased.\u0026rdquo; Coupled with the long-term pressure from S and others, I grew to dislike dealing with people. Yet deep down, I always wanted to confide in someone. Although L and D and I did get along quite well back then, I didn\u0026rsquo;t dare share my innermost thoughts with them—if I did, it would be like Xianglin\u0026rsquo;s Wife\u0026rsquo;s fate: they\u0026rsquo;d only cry with me, or even sneer at me with cold, sharp mockery. So, I kept all the things that bothered me bottled up inside. But after a while, I realized my mental energy was being drained too much, and I even started suffering from insomnia\u0026hellip; But what could I do?\nIt wasn\u0026rsquo;t until the second year of junior high that I became friends with you, and things seemed to start turning around. (This is NOT a satisfying story!)\nI honestly forget how we became friends; I only remember that you were the one who approached me to hang out. I felt so happy because you were the first—and so far the only—person who genuinely wanted to be friends with me. Thank you for taking the initiative, and thank you for not looking down on my quiet, reserved self. Then, as everyone knows, whenever something upset me, I\u0026rsquo;d pour my heart out to you, and whenever something delighted me, I\u0026rsquo;d share it with you\u0026hellip; We became inseparable friends.\nBut high school is even worse than junior high! What kind of crazy class-sorting system is this?? They put all the people with a toxicity level of T0 into Class 3! Aren\u0026rsquo;t the students in the dual-teacher class supposed to be the cream of the crop from junior high????? Why are these people all \u0026ldquo;ready to explode without even being touched\u0026rdquo;?? The lowest score in the high school entrance exam was 580+, and these are the scum??? The highest score in our class was 630, so why didn\u0026rsquo;t they go to the Ju Kui class at No. 3 High School?? Why are they still stuck in this backwater??? Every day, I have to carefully attend classes in the gaps between powder kegs! What\u0026rsquo;s even more infuriating is that my artwork won first prize, and the art teacher posted it in the class group chat on Monday, but not a single person told me! I\u0026rsquo;m about to die of anger.\nSince starting high school, I\u0026rsquo;ve wanted to message you every day. Now you know why. But every week when I message you, you\u0026rsquo;re busy, and I feel a sense of disappointment. \u0026ldquo;In social life, due to various reasons, telling the truth can sometimes be very difficult\u0026rdquo;—that\u0026rsquo;s indeed a truth. When my homeroom teacher asks me, \u0026ldquo;How have you been lately?\u0026rdquo; I can only say, \u0026ldquo;I\u0026rsquo;m fine.\u0026rdquo; If I mention any problems, the teacher would press further, but I don\u0026rsquo;t want to tell him. So, I\u0026rsquo;m back to having no one to confide in. I really think about you every day, so much so that I can\u0026rsquo;t tell if this is friendship or a sign of affection. Sometimes I even wonder, \u0026ldquo;Why didn\u0026rsquo;t I ask him how to handle relationships back in junior high?\u0026rdquo; But then I think, even if I had known, it probably wouldn\u0026rsquo;t have helped, huh.\nThis is why I\u0026rsquo;m so eager to chat with you—because I don\u0026rsquo;t want us to drift apart\u0026hellip; So, thank you, my friend. Thank you for walking toward me back then, and thank you for still being here.\nReid\nHere you go!\n","date":"2026-05-03","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/en/posts/my_friend/","section":"Posts","summary":"","title":"Thank You, My Friend","type":"posts"},{"content":"","date":"2026-05-03","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/en/tags/thoughts/","section":"Tags","summary":"","title":"Thoughts","type":"tags"},{"content":"","date":"2026-05-03","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/tags/%E9%9A%8F%E6%83%B3/","section":"Tags","summary":"","title":"随想","type":"tags"},{"content":"","date":"2026-05-03","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/zh-tw/tags/%E9%9A%A8%E6%83%B3/","section":"Tags","summary":"","title":"隨想","type":"tags"},{"content":"","date":"2026-02-04","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/en/categories/biographical-anecdotes/","section":"Categories","summary":"","title":"Biographical Anecdotes","type":"categories"},{"content":"","date":"2026-02-04","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/en/tags/excerpts/","section":"Tags","summary":"","title":"Excerpts","type":"tags"},{"content":"On February 8, 1950, bright five-star red flags fluttered throughout the streets of the mountain city of Chongqing. On this day, the Southwest Military and Political Committee was officially established. On this historically significant day, representatives from all walks of life in the Southwest gathered joyfully at the committee\u0026rsquo;s headquarters on Renmin Road in Chongqing. Liu Bocheng, Chairman of the committee, along with Vice Chairmen He Long, Deng Xiaoping, Wang Weizhou, Xiong Kewu, Liu Wenhui, and Long Yun, warmly shook hands with each committee member. Among these members, Liu Bocheng firmly grasped one person\u0026rsquo;s hand and held it for a long time, his excitement evident. That person was Xia Zhongshi. Why did Liu Bocheng hold Xia Zhongshi\u0026rsquo;s hand so tightly? It turned out that during the turbulent Great Revolution, Xia Zhongshi had twice saved Liu Bocheng from danger.\nThe National Protection War – Saving Liu Bocheng\r#\rXia Zhongshi (1890–1969), courtesy name Shouxun, was a native of Baisha, Jiangjin, Chongqing. He studied at the Baoding Military Academy in his early years, and after graduation served successively under Sichuan warlords Liu Xiang and Liu Wenhui, rising from platoon leader to division commander of the 3rd Division of the 24th Army. During the War of Resistance Against Japan, he served as Deputy Commander and then Commander of the 78th Army of the National Revolutionary Army, leading troops out of Sichuan to fight against the Japanese, and was awarded the First-Class Medal by the Nationalist Government. In 1942, he resigned and returned to Baisha, later being elected as a member of the First Legislative Yuan of the Nanjing National Government. In October 1948, he joined the Comrades\u0026rsquo; Association of the Three People\u0026rsquo;s Principles in Shanghai, opposing Chiang Kai-shek\u0026rsquo;s dictatorial rule. In 1949, he returned to Sichuan to engage in military defection work, making positive contributions to the liberation of Jiangjin and Sichuan. After the founding of New China, he successively served as a member of the Southwest Military and Political Committee, Chairman of the Chongqing Municipal Committee of the Revolutionary Committee of the Chinese Kuomintang, and Vice Chairman of the Chongqing Municipal Committee of the Chinese People\u0026rsquo;s Political Consultative Conference.\nIn 1915, after graduating from the Baoding Military Academy, Xia Zhongshi obtained the position of a second lieutenant reserve officer in the 3rd Regiment of the 1st Division of the Sichuan Army stationed in Chongqing. At that time, after the failure of the anti-Yuan Shikai campaign in Sichuan, there was widespread panic, and revolutionary party members were being vigorously hunted down. The commander of the 3rd Regiment of the 1st Division at the time was the later famous \u0026ldquo;King of Sichuan,\u0026rdquo; Liu Xiang. The position of reserve officer was a nominal post, requiring someone to vacate a position before one could assume an actual post. Fortunately, three months later, Xia Zhongshi was promoted from reserve officer to platoon leader. In February of the same year, Yuan Shikai appointed Chen Yi to supervise military affairs in Sichuan. Chen Yi led three mixed brigades of the Beiyang Army, commanded by Wu Xiangzhen, Li Bingzhi, and Feng Yuxiang, into Sichuan to suppress the \u0026ldquo;Anti-Yuan Movement\u0026rdquo; launched by revolutionary party members. After the failure of the \u0026ldquo;Second Revolution,\u0026rdquo; the anti-Yuan forces went underground. To eliminate the so-called \u0026ldquo;rebels,\u0026rdquo; in the winter of 1915, Chen Yi launched a province-wide \u0026ldquo;Great Village Clearance\u0026rdquo; operation divided into zones. Liu Xiang, commander of the 3rd Regiment of the 1st Division, was appointed as the sub-commander for the Qingxiang operation in Tongliang, Bishan, and Dazu. During the \u0026ldquo;Great Village Clearance,\u0026rdquo; Xia Zhongshi was promoted to company commander for his military merits. Chen Yi\u0026rsquo;s launch of the Qingxiang operation was actually an attempt to use Sichuanese hands to reduce the strength of the Sichuan army while also eliminating the revolutionary forces that continued to carry out the \u0026ldquo;Anti-Yuan Movement\u0026rdquo; in Sichuan. However, the result of the Qingxiang operation not only failed to intimidate the Sichuan people but instead strengthened their resolve to continue the struggle against Yuan Shikai. After the outbreak of the National Protection War, these people raised the banner of righteousness and joined the National Protection Army, including the 4th Detachment of the Eastern Sichuan National Protection Army led by Liu Bocheng.\nOn December 12, 1915, Yuan Shikai restored the monarchy and declared himself emperor, changing the name of the country to \u0026ldquo;Empire of China\u0026rdquo; and the reign title to \u0026ldquo;Hongxian.\u0026rdquo; Upon hearing the news, Xia Zhongshi was filled with indignation. At that time, Xia Zhongshi, having been baptized by the Xinhai Revolution, had already developed initial democratic revolutionary and anti-imperialist patriotic thoughts. Although he had rendered meritorious service in the Qingxiang operation, he was deeply angered by Yuan Shikai\u0026rsquo;s retrogressive actions. On December 25, Cai E, together with Tang Jiyao and others, sent a telegram to the whole country, first declaring Yunnan\u0026rsquo;s independence and sending troops northward. After the outbreak of the National Protection War, righteous armies in various parts of Sichuan responded one after another. Although he was in the pro-Yuan 1st Division of the Sichuan Army, Xia Zhongshi highly praised Cai E\u0026rsquo;s righteous act and often promoted it among the officers and soldiers. When Liu Xiang learned of this, he sternly rebuked him, saying, \u0026ldquo;Xia Shouxun, do you want to wear a red-bordered hat (the military cap of the National Protection Army had a red border)?\u0026rdquo;\nAt this time, Liu Bocheng was sent by Sun Yat-sen back to Sichuan to engage in military movement and to instigate uprisings against Yuan Shikai. Fengjie, Wanxian (now Wanzhou), and other places responded one after another. In Fuling, Liu Bocheng met Xia Zhongshi, who was stationed there, through a friend\u0026rsquo;s introduction. The two were fellow Sichuan natives, similar in age, with similar thoughts and congenial spirits, and they hit it off immediately. Xia Zhongshi took Liu Bocheng to his company headquarters, where they talked freely about current affairs and analyzed the pros and cons, feeling that they had met too late. Unexpectedly, this matter was reported to Liu Xiang by a deputy company commander in Xia\u0026rsquo;s unit. Harboring an enemy was a serious crime. When Xia Zhongshi learned that Liu Xiang was about to lead troops to arrest Liu Bocheng, for safety\u0026rsquo;s sake, he immediately personally escorted Liu Bocheng out of danger that very night. Shortly after Liu Bocheng left Xia Zhongshi\u0026rsquo;s company headquarters, he established the 4th Detachment of the Eastern Sichuan National Protection Army in Dashun Field. In March 1916, when Liu Bocheng led the Eastern Sichuan uprising army to attack Fengdu County, he unfortunately suffered a severe injury to his right eye. The Battle of Fengdu attracted a large number of Beiyang Army reinforcements to Fengdu, achieving the strategic goal of delaying the Beiyang Army\u0026rsquo;s reinforcement of Xuzhou and Luzhou to block the main force of the National Protection Army.\nLiu Bocheng, Who Served as \u0026ldquo;Commander-in-Chief of All Routes of the National Revolutionary Army\u0026rsquo;s Sichuan Army\u0026rdquo; During the Luzhou-Shunqing Uprising\r#\rWhen the furious Liu Xiang summoned all officers and soldiers of Xia\u0026rsquo;s unit for a reprimand, Liu Bocheng had already safely escaped danger. Facing Liu Xiang\u0026rsquo;s accusations, Xia Zhongshi flatly denied Liu Bocheng\u0026rsquo;s arrival. Since there was no solid evidence, Liu Xiang did not pursue the matter further. But from then on, Liu Xiang no longer trusted Xia Zhongshi. And Xia Zhongshi also began to embark on a path of rupture with Liu Xiang, leading to multiple military conflicts during the Sichuan warlord melee, which is a later story.\nThe Luzhou-Shunqing Uprising: Saving Liu Bocheng Again\r#\rIn July 1926, the National Revolutionary Army held a rally in Guangzhou to launch the Northern Expedition. To coordinate with the Northern Expedition, the Chongqing Prefectural Committee of the Chinese Communist Party, in accordance with instructions from the Central Committee, held a military meeting in Chongqing under the name of the Kuomintang Lianhuachi Provincial Party Department (left wing), secretly deciding to launch the \u0026ldquo;Luzhou-Shunqing Uprising\u0026rdquo; at an opportune time, that is, to organize uprisings of the Sichuan army in Shunqing (now Nanchong), Luzhou, and parts of Hechuan. In mid-November, the Military Commission of the Chongqing Prefectural Committee of the Chinese Communist Party was established, with Yang Angong, the prefectural party secretary and head of the Kuomintang Lianhuachi Provincial Party Department, concurrently serving as secretary, and Liu Bocheng and Zhu De as members, determining the operational plan. Because Liu Bocheng was familiar with the situation of the Sichuan army and enjoyed high prestige, he was entrusted with the important task of \u0026ldquo;Commander-in-Chief of All Routes of the National Revolutionary Army\u0026rsquo;s Sichuan Army.\u0026rdquo; During the 167-day uprising, he deployed troops and generals skillfully, advanced and retreated with proper strategy, governed the people and managed affairs with ease, effectively coordinating with the Northern Expedition and achieving the Central Committee\u0026rsquo;s strategic goal of restraining the Sichuan warlord forces from moving eastward to threaten Wuhan.\nAfter the failure of the Luzhou Uprising, on May 16, 1927, Liu Bocheng left from Longtong Pass, planning to go via Fushun and Rongxian to northern Sichuan and then to Wuhan to report on the uprising to the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party and the National Government. To capture Liu Bocheng, Liu Xiang issued a wanted notice offering a reward of 50,000 silver dollars. As soon as Liu Bocheng left Luzhou, he was in grave danger. He had only just reached Rongxian when he was discovered by the troops of Lan Wenbin of the Sichuan army. Seeing that his whereabouts had been exposed and that the reactionary troops were conducting extremely strict searches, Liu Bocheng decided to do the opposite and return to Fushun.\nRegarding this period of history, the \u0026ldquo;Biography of Liu Bocheng\u0026rdquo; mentions: Liu Bocheng sent someone to negotiate with Zhang Zhongming, and on May 16, together with his chief of staff Han Baicheng and staff officer Zhou Guojin (both members of the Chinese Communist Party), he broke out of the encirclement from Longtong Pass. When they reached Fushun, the reactionary troops were conducting extremely strict searches. Liu Bocheng saw the situation and turned back, heading instead toward Longchang and Rongchang. After that, Liu Bocheng and his companions traveled by night and rested by day, the journey being extremely perilous, with ferocious tigers blocking the way and bandits robbing them, truly escaping death by a hair\u0026rsquo;s breadth. They passed through Dazu, Tongliang to Daxian, and then crossed the Qinling Mountains from Daxian to reach Xi\u0026rsquo;an. With empty hands, they were fortunately aided by General Deng Baoshan, the military affairs commissioner of Shaanxi, and then traveled from Xi\u0026rsquo;an to Zhengzhou, arriving in Hankou on July 11, 1927. These few words outline the hardships Liu Bocheng experienced after the failure of the Luzhou Uprising. In fact, during this nearly two-month journey, Liu Bocheng also received help from his old friend Xia Zhongshi, leaving many stories in Shiziyuan, Jiangjin.\nAfter the Northern Expeditionary Army captured Wuhan, the Sichuan warlords, seeing the trend of the times, expressed their submission to the National Government one after another and changed their flags. At this time, Xia Zhongshi was serving as the commander of the 3rd Route (equivalent to a division commander) of the 24th Army of the National Revolutionary Army under Liu Wenhui, stationed in the Jiading (now Leshan) area. During the National Protection War, Liu Bocheng knew that Xia Zhongshi was upright and had always leaned toward revolution in his thinking, so he decided to first seek Xia Zhongshi\u0026rsquo;s help to find a way to get to Wuhan.\nLiu Bocheng quickly found Xia Zhongshi, and the old friends met with great enthusiasm. Xia Zhongshi told Liu Bocheng that Liu Xiang was offering a reward of 50,000 yuan for his capture, and that thousands of miles of Sichuan territory were within Liu Xiang\u0026rsquo;s control. It was too dangerous to go to Wuhan at that time, so he suggested that Liu Bocheng first go to his hometown of Shima in Jiangjin to hide for a while, and leave after the heat of the search had passed. At that time, Jiangjin was the defense area of Lai Xinhui of the 22nd Army. In the Luzhou-Shunqing Uprising, Lai Xinhui had lost the armed forces of three brigades, severely weakening his strength. If Liu Bocheng went to Jiangjin to take refuge at this time, it would be like a sheep walking into a tiger\u0026rsquo;s den. However, as the saying goes, \u0026ldquo;the most dangerous place is also the safest place.\u0026rdquo; After comprehensively analyzing the situation he faced, Liu Bocheng agreed to Xia Zhongshi\u0026rsquo;s suggestion. So Xia Zhongshi sent his trusted secretary to escort Liu Bocheng to his hometown in Jiangjin, where he was placed in the care of his relative by marriage, Cheng Zhian, in Shiziyuan, Dashan Village, Shima (now Liugong Village, Shima Town).\nShiziyuan in Dashan Village is a typical courtyard-style Sichuan residence, located beside the stone-paved road from Gaoziba to Shima. It was the residence of the enlightened gentry Cheng Zhian (1882–1956, who served as a counselor of the Sichuan Provincial People\u0026rsquo;s Government in 1952). Cheng Zhian vacated the last room in the right wing of the courtyard for Liu Bocheng to stay in. This room was of wooden structure, not connected to other rooms, with direct access from the courtyard edge, making it relatively independent. The upper floor was for living, while the lower floor stored firewood and farm tools, and was rarely visited. On the partition wall of the bedroom, there was a cleverly disguised hidden door. Pushing it open revealed a narrow passage, less than 1 meter wide and about 5 meters long, leading directly to the lower floor. In case of emergency, people upstairs could enter the passage unnoticed, descend to the ground floor, and hide in the pile of firewood. If the passage was discovered, one could also open the wood shed and run to hide in the bamboo forest on the back hill, increasing the chances of escape.\nAfter Liu Bocheng stayed at Shiziyuan for a period of time, once the intensity of Liu Xiang\u0026rsquo;s search gradually subsided, he resolutely crossed the Yangtze River northward and arrived in Wuhan, the center of the Chinese revolution at that time, on July 11, 1927. After reporting his work to the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party in Wuhan, Liu Bocheng immediately received orders to go eastward along the river with Zhu De, Wu Yuzhang, and others to join Zhou Enlai, Ye Jianying, and others in Nanchang, where he participated in leading the historic \u0026ldquo;August 1\u0026rdquo; Nanchang Uprising.\nAfter the founding of New China, by the end of 1949, various regions in the Southwest had been liberated one after another. After the establishment of the Southwest Military and Political Committee, various institutions were successively established, and a number of talented individuals were carefully selected to undertake leadership and management responsibilities in various fields. As a representative of the industrial and commercial circles and a democratic party member, Xia Zhongshi successively served as a member of the Southwest Military and Political Committee, a member of the Land Reform Committee of the Southwest Military and Political Committee, and a member of the Southwest Administrative Committee, working diligently with Liu Bocheng for the construction of New China. In October 1950, Liu Bocheng resigned from his positions as Second Secretary of the Southwest Bureau of the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party and Chairman of the Southwest Military and Political Committee, and went to Beijing to take on the new task of preparing for the establishment of the Army University. Although this period of Liu Bocheng\u0026rsquo;s refuge at Shiziyuan is not widely recorded in official history, the friendship forged in times of adversity and revolutionary camaraderie between Xia Zhongshi and Liu Bocheng during the Great Revolution laid the foundation for their close friendship, and also left a touching story in the cultural history of Jiangjin.\n","date":"2026-02-04","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/en/posts/xia-zhongshi_liu-bocheng/","section":"Posts","summary":"","title":"Xia Zhongshi's Righteous Rescue of Liu Bocheng","type":"posts"},{"content":"","date":"2026-02-04","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/ja/categories/%E4%BA%BA%E7%89%A9%E4%BA%8B%E7%B8%BE/","section":"Categories","summary":"","title":"人物事績","type":"categories"},{"content":"","date":"2026-02-04","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/zh-tw/categories/%E4%BA%BA%E7%89%A9%E4%BA%8B%E8%B9%9F/","section":"Categories","summary":"","title":"人物事蹟","type":"categories"},{"content":"","date":"2026-02-04","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/categories/%E4%BA%BA%E7%89%A9%E4%BA%8B%E8%BF%B9/","section":"Categories","summary":"","title":"人物事迹","type":"categories"},{"content":"","date":"2026-02-04","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/ja/tags/%E6%8A%9C%E7%B2%8B/","section":"Tags","summary":"","title":"抜粋","type":"tags"},{"content":"","date":"2026-02-04","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/tags/%E6%91%98%E5%BD%95/","section":"Tags","summary":"","title":"摘录","type":"tags"},{"content":"","date":"2026-02-04","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/zh-tw/tags/%E6%91%98%E9%8C%84/","section":"Tags","summary":"","title":"摘錄","type":"tags"},{"content":"Hello!
