Loyalty and righteousness

Deng Longguang's father, Mr. Deng Xiuchuan, is an old Confucian full of national integrity, who has read classics and history and poems. He thinks that loyalty and filial piety are the great righteousness of life, and it is the supreme glory to die for the country. During the Northern Expedition and the Anti Japanese War, the Deng family sacrificed three people and injured three people, which was respected by the local people. At that time when the war of resistance against Japan was raging, every time I heard that the fortress of the famous city had fallen, the lives of the people had been destroyed, and the people had suffered, the old man would be very sad. He wrote the collection of white sand songs with his friends, and he felt the broken rivers and mountains, the hardships of life, and the indignation overflowed in his words. In the spring of 1939, Mr. Deng's father Xiuchuan passed away. At that time, the government and the public, including Lin Sen and Chiang Kai Shek, the Party of the villagers and other military and political dignitaries, and the local gentry all wrote a memorial couplet. As colleagues, Zhu De and Peng Dehuai (commander-in-chief and Deputy commander-in-chief of the 18th group army) wrote elegiac couplets, that is to say, "the philosophers had as many talents as they could, and their prestige was well known. In their eighty years, they were still worried about the country, the rivers and mountains were broken, and they were filled with sorrowful and indignant poems.".
