When Yue Fei was fifteen or sixteen years old, the Jin people from the north invaded the south. The people in power in the Song Dynasty were corrupt and incompetent, and they were retreating steadily. The country was at a critical moment of life and death. Yue Fei joined the army to fight against the Liao Dynasty. Soon after his father died, he retired from the army and returned to his hometown to observe filial piety. In 1126, the Jin soldiers invaded the Central Plains on a large scale, and Yue Fei surrendered to the army again. Before leaving, Mrs. Yao called Yue Fei to her and said, "Now that the country is in crisis, what are your plans?"
"Go to the front line to kill the enemy and serve the country with loyalty!" Mrs. Yao listened to her son's advice The answer is that he is very satisfied. "Serving the country with loyalty and loyalty" is exactly what the mother hopes for her son. She decided to tattoo these four words on her son's back so that he would remember them forever. Yue Fei unbuttoned his shirt, revealing his thin back, and asked his mother to take the needle. Mrs. Yao first wrote on Yue Fei's back, and then pricked it with an embroidery needle.
But there is no trace of the word "国", which symbolizes the lack of a leader in the country. After the tattoo was done, the mother-in-law applied vinegar ink. From then on, the four words "Serve the Country with Loyalty" have remained on Yue Fei's back forever.

Yue Fei's life introduction:
Yue Fei (March 24, 1103 - January 27, 1142), named Pengju, lived in Xiangzhou A native of Tangyin (now Tangyin County, Henan Province). During the Southern Song Dynasty, he was a famous general, military strategist, strategist, national hero, calligrapher, and poet who fought against the Jin Dynasty. He ranked first among the "Four Generals of the Zhongxing Dynasty" in the Southern Song Dynasty.
Yue Fei joined the army four times since he was twenty years old. From the second year of Jianyan (1128) when he met Zongze to the eleventh year of Shaoxing (1141), he participated in and directed hundreds of battles, large and small. When the Jin army attacked Jiangnan, it was unique and advocated resisting the Jin army and regaining Jiankang. In the fourth year of Shaoxing (1134), six counties of Xiangyang were recovered. In the sixth year of Shaoxing (1136), he led the Northern Expedition and successfully captured Shangzhou, Guozhou and other places.
In the tenth year of Shaoxing (1140), Wanyan Zongbi destroyed the alliance and attacked the Song Dynasty. Yue Fei sent his troops to the northern expedition. The people of the two rivers rushed to tell each other, and the rebels from all over the country responded one after another and attacked the Jin army. The Yuejia Army successively regained Zhengzhou, Luoyang and other places, defeated the Jin army in Yancheng and Yingchang, and marched into Zhuxian Town. However, Song Gaozong Zhao Gou and Prime Minister Qin Hui insisted on seeking peace and urged their teachers with twelve "gold-character plaques".
During the peace negotiations between the Song and Jin Dynasties, Yue Fei was falsely accused by Qin Hui, Zhang Jun and others and imprisoned. In January 1142, he was killed together with his eldest son Yue Yun and general Zhang Xian on trumped-up charges. During the reign of Emperor Xiaozong of the Song Dynasty, Zhaoxue was rehabilitated and reburied in Qixialing by the West Lake. He was given the posthumous title of Wu Mu and later Zhongwu and was granted the title of King of E.
