In 1922, the 19-year-old Liu Zhidan was admitted to Yulin Middle School, under the guidance of several progressive teachers, he embarked on a road of serving the country and the people, and in 1926, he abandoned his pen and was admitted to the Huangpu Ivy, and there were many famous generals among the students in this period, liu Zhidan was one of them.

Liu Zhidan's former enemy position was only a few hundred meters away from the enemy's location, which was very unsafe, but in order to better understand the enemy's combat situation in front, Liu Zhidan disregarded his personal safety and stood on the position to observe carefully, and Xie Wenxiang, a guard standing on the side, persuaded the commander several times to pay attention to safety.

Danger still happened, a bullet fired by the enemy hit Liu Zhidan's left chest, the seriously wounded commander suddenly fell in a pool of blood, everyone cried and looked at the dying commander, Liu Zhidan woke up, he said intermittently: "Hurry up and let the political commissar come to command the battle and destroy the enemy...", Before he finished speaking, Commander Liu Zhidan stopped breathing and sacrificed heroically, only 33 years old.
