The book says that on October 7, seven days after the five-star red flag was raised in Beijing's Tiananmen Square, the refugees in the White House heard the news. Under the watchful eyes of the guarding secret agents, they cheered excitedly, but only at a whispering volume; they embraced excitedly, but their next action could only be to take advantage of the situation to roll around on the ground again and again.
No one slept that night. Luo Guangbin suddenly had an idea. "Comrades! We should also make a five-star red flag, we will fight this red flag to break out of the prison door!" "Old Luo then tore off his saffron quilt top, at that time we did not know how the five-star pattern was arranged, so we quietly discussed that it should be placed in the center of the flag to form a circle."
This is a recollection from Mao Xiaochu, who escaped from the White House. He had been locked up with Luo Guangbin in the Ping II room, and together to get out of danger, and later became deputy secretary of the party committee of the Yunnan Institute of Geological Sciences. Said embroidery, Luo Guangbin they have neither scissors nor needle and thread. They were using a piece of iron ground into a "small knife", the yellow straw paper carved into five five-pointed star.
Without glue, they used leftover rice grains to glue the stars onto the red silk quilt top. The five-starred red flag was made, although the production was rough, but the refugees hid it like a treasure under a piece of flooring in the cell, until it was taken out after liberation. Years later, the original red flag has long been lost, and the one now on display was copied as described in the novel "Red Rock".
