The classic Chinese drama and classic movie "Sentinel Under the Neon Lights" has been cared for by several generations of party and state leaders. Through various channels, the author learned about the different fates of the characters in the play. Xu Linge, who plays the role of instructor, not only has a dignified appearance, but also writes beautifully. The steel plates he engraves are almost comparable to printed characters.However, under the impact of the "Cultural Revolution" movement, due to some so-called "historical issues", he was transferred to the unit of the Hefei Civil Defense Command in Anhui, and died young in obscurity in the early 1970s. The distinctive image of an instructor played in the three films "Shangganling", "The Story of Liubao" and "The Sentinel Under the Neon Lights" has already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

With his fiery personality and straightforwardness, how could he bear such unwarranted charges imposed on him?Unwilling to be humiliated, Gong Zipi resolutely jumped down from the second floor angrily, preferring to be broken than to be ruined. She ended her short life of hard work and fought to the death to show her innocence and innocence.It was under such circumstances that the frantic establishment and rebels lost their humanity. On the night of Gong Zipi's death, they announced overnight that "Gong Zipi committed suicide in fear of crime" and immediately held a denunciation meeting.After jumping off the building, Gong Zipi was lying on the ground panting heavily because he hadn't breathed out for a while. His miserable state was unbearable to watch.
