1937, in order to escape the war, the National Peking University, the National Tsinghua University and the private Nankai University moved south, and the National Changsha Temporary University (National Southwest Associated University, which later resounded through the education circle) was established in Changsha.

However, soon, Changsha was also invaded by war. After research, it is decided that National Changsha Temporary University will continue to move south and move to Yunnan.

At that time, the relocation was divided into three roads. The most difficult thing was to start from Changsha and walk to Kunming!

In order not to sound so miserable, they made a joke and named it "Hunan-Guizhou-Yunnan Tour Group". This route consists of 267 poor male students, 1 1 young and middle-aged teachers, 4 military instructors and team doctors.

They crossed Hunan, Guizhou and Yunnan provinces, and climbed numerous mountains, with a total journey of 3,248 Li. They walked 2548 miles and 68 days except by boat and car!

Before leaving, the school gave everyone a set of military uniforms, a pair of underwear and sandals, an oilcloth umbrella and self-provided daily necessities.

At first, their feet were muddy land in the north of Hunan, and there was a continuous drizzle on their heads. A few days ago, someone played an umbrella, and then everyone had no strength to play an umbrella. The clothes are all wet. Make a fire to dry at night and put them on the next day.

Because everyone's physical strength is different, the team is getting longer and longer, and sometimes the head and tail are separated by more than ten kilometers. In order not to let anyone fall behind, we start to find a place to camp after 5 pm every day and wait for the people behind us.

We put away all the bowls, one for each person, first come, first served. Then count the rice bowls. As long as the bowls are empty, it means everyone is here.

After more than two months of trekking, all the staff arrived in Kunming smoothly, and no one was missing!
