The Red Army repeatedly publicized the Party's ethnic policy, and the commander Liu Bocheng and the Yi leader Xiaoyedan drank chicken blood wine, swore brotherhood and sent guns and ammunition, and finally won the understanding and trust of the Yi people, the Red Army was able to pass through smoothly.

In the process of strengthening the rule of law in our country, we secondary school students should become models of learning the law and enforcing it, and take the lead in respecting the living habits of ethnic minorities.
