In 1953, traveling from the city to Yiyuan Mountain, there was a significant difference in the quality of life between Nanjing and Yiyuan. During school, Li Zhenhua often heard teachers talk about the revolutionary stories of Yimeng Sister-in-law and Yimeng Six Sisters, and he secretly made the determination to contribute to the people and the country himself.
At that time, the country called upon youth "to go to the most challenging places of the revolution, to go to the most majestic places of the motherland." Influenced by the spirit of the Yimeng Old Area, the 17-year-old Li Zhenhua responded to the call, leaving the gates of Nanjing Normal School, and heading to the remote and impoverished Yimeng Old Area to provide support.
