     Each time that General Liu Chih-tan arrived in a place, he always opened out his maps and studied them carefully. Then he would look for villagers to talk to, asking them about this and about that. In 1934, he led a part of the Northern Shensi Red Army, stationing them at Hua-an Monastery in Ch'ing-chien County. The chief of the food ministry in Ch’ing-chien County also lived in the village.]
