"The local Tibetan people named this pine tree 'Red Army Umbrella,' hoping it will remain evergreen and guard the heroic spirits." Ma Hua, a red culture education instructor, recounted that her grandfather witnessed Red Army soldiers sacrifice their lives while crossing Jiajin Mountain in Southwest China's Sichuan and later told the story to the local Tibetan people. "Our entire family is Tibetan, and we have always spoken the Tibetan language within our family. Originally, our family had no Han surname.
But my grandfather said that we must engrave the Red Army's kindness forever in our family's name and let it forever flow in our blood," recalled Ma Hua, a museum instructor at Baoxing County, Ya'an City, Southwest China's Sichuan Province.
