目标一: To get the information about Yang Jingyu and analyse the structure of it, write an introduction of a war hero Activity 1: Read the introduction to Yang Jingyu and answer the questions. Yang Jingyu, an anti-Japanese hero, was born in Henan Province in 1905. He joined the Communist Party of China (CPC) in 1927. In 1937 Yang became leader of the North-east Anti-Japanese United Army and fought a guerrilla war against the Japanese invaders. In 1938, the Japanese army offered a large sum of money for Yang’s head and a large number of troops surrounded his men. In early 1940, facing a critical lack of supplies, Yang decided to let his men break through in small groups, but his own section of 60 men was betrayed to the Japanese. After these men were killed, Yang fought on alone for five days. He was eventually tracked down on 23 February by a large unit of Japanese troops. He killed more than 20 Japanese soldiers before dying in a hail of machine gunfire. When the Japanese cut open his body, they discovered only tree bark, cotton and grass roots, but not a single grain of rice in his stomach. Yang’s death was a huge blow to his loyal troops, but they turned sorrow into anger and continued to fight fiercely against the invaders. After the People’s Republic of China (PRC) was established, Yang was reburied with full military honours, in Tonghua, Jilin Province. 1 Who was Yang Jingyu 2 Why did Yang decide to let small groups of his men break through the encirclement 3 What did the Japanese find when they killed Yang 4 How would you describe Yang’s spirit in your own words Answers: 1 Yang Jingyu was an anti-Japanese hero, who died in a fight against Japanese troops. 2 Because at that time there was a critical lack of supplies. 3 They found only tree bark, cotton and grass roots, instead of rice in his stomach. 4 His spirit of fighting with the enemies to the last minute of life to safeguard the country moves me the most.

Sample: Dong Cunrui was born into a poor peasant family in Huailai County, Hebei Province on 15 October 1929. In 1945 he joined the Eighth Route Army and in March 1947 he joined the Communist Party of China. On 25 May 1948, the battle for the liberation of Longhua began, and the soldiers of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) flooded towards Longhua Middle School, the headquarters of the enemy. Six jets of fire from a bridge blocked the path of the PLA troops. The bridge was a fortress built by the enemy, and the PLA troops were stuck under a small slope. At the critical moment, they needed a soldier to blow up the bridge and open a new road for the whole army. “Captain, let me blow it up!” Dong Cunrui said, and his request was granted. Under the cover of another soldier, he rushed to the bridge, but could not find a place to put the explosives. Dong Cunrui then lifted the explosives in his left hand, lit the blasting fuse and blew up the enemy's fortress. In doing so, he died a hero. The story of Dong Cunrui, who gave his life to create a way forward, has been told all over China until today, and has inspired thousands of young people to make sacrifices in defence of our country’s and people’s interests.
