The aged Red Army soldier's sweet and bitter life

In the last moment of the Long March, Mr. Wu He-man lost connection with the armies and lived in Guyuan for 71 years. He worked as herdsman and carpenter. When he was nearly 40, he married with a widow and then did farm work at home. Although he didn't have his own sons, his grandson and granddaughter-in-law treated him very well.

Mr. Wu He-man is an aged man, but he is good in health. Everyday, he sings a Long March song and tells a story to his granddaughter-in-law.
