目标一:To get the information about Yang Jingyu and analyse the structure of it, write an introduction of a war hero
Activity 1: Read the introduction to Yang Jingyu and answer the questions.
Yang Jingyu, an anti-Japanese hero, was born in Henan Province in 1905. He joined the Communist Party of China (CPC) in 1927. In 1937 Yang became leader of the North-east Anti-Japanese United Army and fought a guerrilla war against the Japanese invaders.
In 1938, the Japanese army offered a large sum of money for Yang’s head and a large number of troops surrounded his men. In early 1940, facing a critical lack of supplies, Yang decided to let his men break through in small groups, but his own section of 60 men was betrayed to the Japanese. After these men were killed, Yang fought on alone for five days. He was eventually tracked down on 23 February by a large unit of Japanese troops. He killed more than 20 Japanese soldiers before dying in a hail of machine gunfire. When the Japanese cut open his body, they discovered only tree bark, cotton and grass roots, but not a single grain of rice in his stomach.
Yang’s death was a huge blow to his loyal troops, but they turned sorrow into anger and continued to fight fiercely against the invaders. After the People’s Republic of China (PRC) was established, Yang was reburied with full military honours, in Tonghua, Jilin Province.
