Influenced by the advanced ideological trend, Pu Hua, a pioneer, established revolutionary armed forces at Guan Temple in Baoyuan Village, a pioneer, and served as the battalion chief. After the establishment of the brigade, revolutionary actions were successively carried out in Yunhua, Deju and Yin Jie. Under the guidance of the Western Yunnan Committee, in April 1949, the Puhua team was incorporated into the Fourth Brigade of the Western Yunnan People's Self-Defense Corps and stationed at Wutai Temple. In July of the same year, the People's Self-Defense Force in western Yunnan was reorganized into the Eighth Frontier Detachment of China People's Liberation Army. During the period when the troops were stationed in Wutai Temple, Wutai and the pioneers gave active help to the People's Self-Defense Force in western Yunnan, and many ambitious young people joined the army.
