From 65438 to 0924, Su Yu was admitted to the Second Normal School in Changde City, Hunan Province. During his school years, Su Yu came into contact with many advanced youths and saved the country and people, and gradually developed revolutionary ideas. At that time, the Great Revolution was in full swing, and Su Yu soon joined the Communist Youth League.
1927 In the summer, "Ma Ri incident" happened in Changsha, and many outstanding sons and daughters shed their blood in Jiangcheng. Changde area has not been spared. The Second Normal School was founded in Hunan, and the reactionary authorities secretly lured and killed the principal Hu, and ordered the arrest of all the teachers and Communist Youth League members of the Second Normal School. One night, in the thick sewer leading to the north of the second division campus, a young man dressed as a student was stepping on knee-deep sewage, and the cat was running around the city at high speed. The exit of the sewer is Dongting Lake. The young man found a boat in the dark, waded across the lake and quietly climbed a train heading north for Wuchang. ...
He is the young Su Yu.
In Wuchang, Su Yu soon became a brave soldier in the army led by Ye Ting, the 24th division commander of the National Revolutionary Army. That year, he just turned 20.

He concentrated thousands of troops to conquer the axle stronghold in one fell swoop, annihilating 465 Japanese troops and 500 puppet troops.

The will left is: no farewell ceremony, no memorial service and no wreath laying after death. I just want to scatter my ashes on the land of Jiangxi, Fujian, Zhejiang, Anhui, Jiangsu, Shanghai, Shandong and Henan provinces and cities where I fought for several years, and be with my comrades who are buried there. Su Yu is good at planning, fighting and commanding. With his superb military thinking ability and unbeaten record, he wrote a wonderful page in the history of China.
