Growing Up in Battle has successfully created a series of touching characters, especially the revolutionary hero Zhao Gang. At first, Zhao Gang was a warm-blooded young farmer with only a vague understanding of the darkness of society and the corruption of the government. After learning that his father lost the case, he clearly realized that there was no fairness and justice in this society. As long as he has money, those landlords can do evil without being bound by laws and regulations, because they can buy off government officials and let them speak for themselves. As the folk proverb says, "the eight-character yamen faces south, and you can't get in without money." So he is no longer full of illusions about the government like his father Zhao Laozhong. He believes that there is a legendary black-faced Bao Gong in the world, who is bent on redressing grievances for the people, and even holds the idea that "it is reasonable to travel all over the world, and he is not afraid to go anywhere". When his father's good wishes were torn to pieces in the face of cruel reality, Yang Youde and yang yaozu trampled on his dignity, claiming that they could sue again if they refused. Even if he sues Chiang Kai-shek, he won the lawsuit. When his father committed suicide with resentment, he was full of anger and ran to the Yang family to set fire to it. At this time, Zhao Gang was a young man. He only knew that if he wanted to live, he had to resist. If he had a blood feud, he had to die. However, when Zhao Gang joined the Eighth Route Army and served as a battalion commander, he gradually grew into a revolutionary soldier armed with Marxism. He believes that we should not only avenge ourselves, but also call on and lead everyone to liberate all the suffering people in China, turn over from oppression and exploitation, and fight for their freedom and communism. When some comrades think that thinking about home will make the revolution more active and brave, he will enlighten them, not just thinking about revenge for themselves, but thinking more about revenge for everyone; Personal hatred does not have to be personally involved, and other comrades can report it. It is wrong to think only of revenge for yourself. Under his education, Hayes and Shuang'er realized their shortcomings. Although Zhao Shitou understood the truth, he had to join the commando team because his hometown was liberated soon and he was eager for revenge, regardless of organizational discipline. When he was criticized by Zhao Gang, he appeared submissive, but he was not convinced at heart. Zhao Gang patiently and seriously taught him that, as a member of * * *, he should obey the party's organizational discipline and obey the command in all actions, and finally persuaded him. At this time, Zhao Gang has grown from a simple young peasant with class hatred to a revolutionary hero with high consciousness. What is commendable is that Zhao Gang has not been shaped into a tall and perfect revolutionary hero, but a real person with flesh and blood and full of personal feelings. When he faced his wife whose relatives had suffered a lot, he said affectionately, "You are here, too. A simple sentence contains many surprises, excitement and excitement, showing the feeling that I don't know where to start in a thousand words. " When he saw Yang Youde, an enemy who killed his father and destroyed his family, he couldn't help raising his fist to fight, which shows that he is a real emotional person.

Zhao Shitou's image is also very successful.
