On October 9, 1949, Chen Shoudong, who was 20 years old, sacrificed himself in the battle to liberate Shaoyang. At this time, the 9th day of the founding of the People's Republic of China was just one day away from the liberation of Shaoyang... After Chen Shoudong's sacrifice, he was buried in the Martyrs Cemetery in Xiahuaqiao, Shaoyang, Hunan. It was not until 2023, with the joint efforts of relevant departments and volunteers, that his sister and niece Chen Shouwen were found. Chen Shouwen said, "My elder brother has a great personality, and he looks quite handsome. People can see it from that photo." But it is a pity that Chen Shoudong's only photo has been buried underground with his mother. In March 1948, the newly married Chen Shoudong responded to the call to bid farewell to his parents and wife and more than 20 young people from the same village to join the army in the battle to liberate the land of Liaoning and Shenyang, and made many contributions. In February 1949, Chen Shoudong joined the CPC honorably. His army was the 460 Regiment of 154 Divisions of the 41st Army. In the Liaoshen Campaign, the army captured a German made Zeiss camera. Mao Qi, the political commissar of the 460 Regiment, kept it close by and used a camera to record the process of the army's southward march. Chen Shoudong may have taken pictures after △ Yingkou annihilated the enemy △ 460 Regiment mobilized southward In August 1949, Changsha was peacefully liberated, but the enemy was still entrenched in Hengyang, Baoqing (now Shaoyang, Hunan) and other places on September 13, The People's Liberation Army launched the Battle of Hengbao. Chen Shoudong, as the deputy platoon leader of the 4th company of the 460th regiment, participated in the battle, but the beginning of the battle was not smooth. It was not until October 1, 1949, when Chairman Mao solemnly declared the establishment of the Central People's Government of the People's Republic of China at Tiananmen Square that this earth shattering news swept away the gloom in the hearts of the soldiers. More than any mobilization, Chen Shoudong was resolute and powerful. Finally, on October 9, Chen Shoudong's 460th regiment and his brother's troops cooperated to surround the enemy in the Xiahuaqiao area of Shaoyang today. During the battle, Chen Shoudong rushed to the front and fought to eliminate the enemy in front of him for the new China behind him. On this day, Chen Shoudong bravely sacrificed himself at the age of only 20. At this time, The land that has been shed with blood for only one day after the liberation of Yang is now in full bloom with beautiful flowers. Now, Chen Shoudong's niece, Liu Yanying, has arrived in Shaoyang, the place where Chen Shoudong once fought. 75 years ago, in the midst of gunfire and bullets, the battlefield has become a beautiful field hero The battle story has been passed down to this day, and Liu Yanying came to wipe the tombstone in front of the Martyrs' Monument. "Uncle, I'm here to see you and your comrades." Today, when people asked what kind of person the People's Liberation Army is, children said, "The People's Liberation Army is a persistent person. The People's Liberation Army is brave and fearless."
