They had to adapt to these challenges, for instance, by holding their classes when they were not likely to be bombed.

4 In what ways is the theme of war and peace presented differently in

参考范文
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.
