What do soldiers love about Zhu De?

The soldiers in "The Zhu De Pole" love Zhu De's spirit of not putting on airs, taking the lead, being equal to the soldiers and sharing weal and woe with them.

The story described in the text "Zhu De's Pole" took place in the period of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression. In order to stick to the Jinggangshan base area and crush the enemy siege, Comrade Zhu De and his soldiers went to Mao Ping, where the mountains were steep and the road was long. As Commander-in-Chief of the Red Army, Zhu De worked with ordinary officers and men. The officers and men took good care of him, because he was old and didn't want him to take part in the labor, so they hid his shoulder pole for picking things. So Commander-in-Chief Zhu made another pole and wrote the words "Zhu De Pole" to prevent others from taking it away.

This story is mainly to publicize the fine tradition of unity between officers and men of our army, to show the noble quality of revolutionary leaders leading by example and sharing weal and woe with soldiers, and also to show soldiers' care and love for leaders.
