This person really exists, Wang Jinzai, the division commander of the National Revolutionary Army 128! Xiao Yi, the actual prototype, refused to take a false post after being captured (some Huangpu generals were not so honest after being captured). In the TV series, he was detained by the Japanese aggressors for nearly three years. Died in 1967. He was once called the third and a half generation leader of China in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression's time.

1968, the old general of Ma Rong was persecuted to death in that political catastrophe, that is, the Cultural Revolution.
