The weather in Mazhuang Township

During the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression period, Wang Erxiao's hometown was an anti-Japanese base of the Eighth Route Army, which was often "swept" by Japanese devils. Wang Erxiao is a member of the Children's Alliance. He often stands guard for the Eighth Route Army when grazing cattle on the hillside. 1942 10 10/25 (September of the lunar calendar 16), the Japanese came to pay homage again and got lost at the mountain pass. The enemy saw Wang Erxiao herding cattle on the hillside and asked him to lead the way. Wang Erxiao pretended to obey and went ahead. In order to defend the villagers in hiding, he led the enemy into the ambush circle of the Eighth Route Army. Suddenly, gunshots rang out in all directions. Knowing that the enemy had been cheated, he angrily killed Wang Erxiao with a bayonet. Just then, the Eighth Route Army rushed down from the mountain and wiped out all the enemies.

After Wang Erxiao's death, local soldiers and civilians buried him on the hillside of Liujiazhuang. At that time, Comrade Zhang Shikui, a cadre of Laiyuan Youth Rescue Committee (later a retired cadre of Baoding City), got the news and immediately reported it to the Youth Rescue Committee of the Border Region. Shanxi Daily published the news in the first edition. According to this report, the poet Fang Bing and the poet Qi Fu immediately wrote the song "Singing Two Little Boys Playing Cowherd". This song has been sung to this day and has infected countless teenagers. Now, Wang Erxiao's grave is covered with grass. The big stone dyed red by his blood still lies quietly in the ravine. People call it "the bloody stone".
