During the Anti-Japanese War, Wang Erxiao's hometown was the Eighth Route Army's anti-Japanese base area and was often "swept up" by the Japanese. Wang Erxiao was a member of the Children's League. He often herded cattle on the hillside while keeping watch for the Eighth Route Army.
On October 25, 1942 (September 16 in the lunar calendar), the Japanese came for another "mopping up" operation and got lost when they reached the mountain pass.
The enemy saw Wang Erxiao grazing cattle on the hillside and asked him to lead the way.
Wang Erxiao walked in front pretending to be obedient. In order to protect the villagers who had moved into hiding, he led the enemy into the Eighth Route Army's ambush.
Suddenly, gunshots rang out from all directions. Knowing that they had been fooled, the enemy was furious and stabbed Wang Erxiao to death with a bayonet.
The witty and brave little hero Wang Erxiao was brutally killed by the Japanese invaders and sacrificed in Langyakou Village, Laiyuan County. He was only 13 years old.
At this moment, the Eighth Route Army rushed down from the mountain and wiped out all the enemies.
After Wang Erxiao died, local soldiers and civilians buried him on the hillside of Liujiazhuang.
Comrade Zhang Shikui (now a retired cadre of Baoding City), who was a cadre of the Youth Rescue Association of Laiyuan County at that time, received the news and immediately reported it to the Youth Rescue Association of the Border Region. The Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Daily published the news on the first page.
Lyricist Fang Bing and composer Jie Fu immediately composed the song "Singing the Second Little Cowherd" based on this report.
This song has been sung to this day and has infected countless young people.
Now, the grave of Wang Erxiao is covered with green grass.
The big stone stained red by his blood is still lying quietly in the ravine. People call it the "blood stone".
In order to commemorate the little hero Wang Erxiao, the China Youth Foundation built the "Erxia Hope Primary School" in Shangzhuang Village, Laiyuan County, the hometown of the second primary school. Chen Mo, an old writer who participated in the revolution during the Yan'an period, created the revolutionary traditional documentary novel "Young Hero Wang"

Yulai moved the water tank back to its original position. At this time, the Japanese also arrived... This is a scene described in the novel "Yulai is Not Dead".
Yulai is a microcosm of the children in Jidong during the Anti-Japanese War, including Guan Hua, the author of the novel.
Guan Hua had been standing guard with the children in the village since he was a child, sending chicken feather letters to the Eighth Route Army, and climbing trees to look out to capture the enemy's situation.
In 1940, he left home and went to the Anti-Japanese War, fighting in the north and south for many years.
After he joined the army, scenes from his childhood often came to mind.
Therefore, he wrote the novel "Yulai is Not Dead" with Yu Lai as the protagonist, and published it in "Jinchaji Daily".
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, an editor and reviewer from the Ministry of Education in charge of Chinese textbooks came to Guan Hua and informed him that his novel had been renamed "Little Heroes Comes in the Rain" and had been selected into the Chinese textbooks.
