By hannover-web.com In the midst of the Long March, the Central Military Commission found itself with only one telegraph machine and a generator. To safeguard these crucial pieces of equipment, they dispatched a reinforced team of 128 men. Unfortunately, as the journey progressed and many comrades made the ultimate sacrifice, only three remained—Xie Baojin among them—tasked with protecting the generator.
During their trek across the marshy grasslands, Xie ingeniously crafted a bamboo raft, managing to transport the 68-kilogram generator through the challenging terrain. Later, as they faced the steep and narrow paths of the snow-capped mountains, Xie encouraged his fellow soldiers, saying, “Lift it up and place it on my shoulders; I’ll carry it through!”
Driven by unwavering revolutionary spirit and immense passion, Xie Baojin bravely navigated countless hardships, successfully bringing the generator to safety in Yan’an.
What drives an individual to persevere through such daunting challenges? Xie’s story stands as a testament to the power of determination and sacrifice in the face of adversity.
