"Our family must guard this place for generations" - The story of Li Huasong, a villager from Xiaolijiazhuang, Suixi County, Anhui Province, who guarded the former site of the Huaihai Campaign Front Committee Headquarters for three generations. Zhang Jingbo, Liu Susu, Wu Yongsheng, Yang Xiaohua, and Li Huasong carefully wiped the lantern. Li Huasong cleans the courtyard carefully every day. Li Huasong told the visiting students the story of the General Front Committee commanding operations in the Huaihai Campaign. Li Huasong carefully registers every batch of visitors. Li Huasong tells the story of a lantern to visitors. Bird's-eye view and appearance of the former site of the Huaihai Campaign Front Command Headquarters. The Li family's old house, located in Xiaoli Village, Huaihai Village, Hancun Town, Suixi County, Anhui Province, was originally an ordinary courtyard, but it became unusual because the General Front Committee of the Huaihai Campaign had lived here for 38 days. Li Huasong, born in the year of the Huaihai Campaign, is the grandson of the old landlord of this courtyard, Li Zhiben. As the third generation, he was very proud that Liu Bocheng, Chen Yi, and Deng Xiaoping had lived in his old house and commanded the Huaihai Campaign. He, whose temples have been dyed white, is both the guardian of the old house and a volunteer guide. Whenever anyone visits, he enthusiastically tells the story of the General Front Committee commanding the battle here. "There are 22 houses in the courtyard, which still maintain the original layout. After the Huaihai Campaign Front Committee was transferred here, the leaders and our family all lived in this courtyard..." On the eve of the 75th anniversary of the victory of the Huaihai Campaign, the author walked into the national AAA level scenic area of Xiaoli's house, accompanied by the sound of keys, wooden doors were pushed open, and the story of the red past and the three generations of the Li family continuing to protect the former site of the General Front Committee Command came face to face. "The Chief of the General Front Committee has moved into our house, which is the glory of the village and also the pride of our family." Xiaolijiazhuang is an ordinary village on the bank of Huihe River in Huaibei City.

Turn the clock back to the cold winter of 1948. At that time, the headquarters of the Huaihai Campaign Front Committee, located in Linhuan Jiwenchang Palace, Suixi County, had to be immediately transferred due to the exposed address. Where can I find a new location that is both safe and suitable for the headquarters of the General Front Committee? This heavy responsibility falls on the combat staff officer Zhang Shenghua. After two days and nights of meticulous reconnaissance, Zhang Shenghua took a liking to Xiaolijiazhuang, which is 7.5 kilometers east of Linhuanji. This village is surrounded by cypress trees, lush and relatively hidden. At the same time, this place is located between the Xusu Railway and the Xufu Highway, and is the designated location for the enemy to "advance north and south, connect Xubang, and meet the three armies". Every day, several batches of enemy planes conduct aerial reconnaissance, and the General Front Committee is stationed here, which the enemy never imagined. Especially after seeing the backwardness of the Li family's two in and two out, Zhang Shenghua felt that this quadrangle was very suitable in terms of geographical location and housing structure. However, he was somewhat uncertain about whether the landlord Li Zhiben, who came from a relatively affluent family at the time, could be politically reliable.
