The background of eight women throwing themselves into the river.

During the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression period (1938 10), eight female officers and men of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Coalition led by Leng Yun, led by instructor Leng Yun, fought fiercely with the Japanese puppet troops in Wusihun River, linkou county, Mudanjiang City, Heilongjiang Province. They took the initiative to attract the fire of the Japanese and puppet troops, so that the main force of the troops quickly got rid of the enemy's attacks, but they were besieged by the enemy.

In desperation, they were forced to surrender by the Japanese puppet troops, vowed to die unyielding, destroyed their guns, waded into the Wushun River hand in hand, and shouted: "Down with Japanese imperialism!" Singing "The Internationale" and collectively dying for the country showed the heroic spirit of the Chinese nation in fighting the enemy to the end and was widely praised by the people.
