Like his ancestors, Gu spent the rest of his life facing the loess and facing the sky, and died in Dongbaicang Village, Puyang.

From 65438 to 0989, Gu suffered from cancer and was admitted to the Affiliated Hospital of Henan University for treatment. The following year, Gu died at the age of 64 and was buried in Dongbaicang Village. At that time, Gu Junshan was still working in Puyang Military Region.

Some villagers told reporters that many of Gu's experiences in the memory of life and death were fabricated. They remember that in 20 1 1 year, when Gu Junshan was promoted to lieutenant general, Gu San invited an old lady (namely Wu Xueya) from Shanghai, saying that she was the wife of a revolutionary martyr and her father had saved her life. At that time, the villagers laughed it off and no one took it seriously.

In the preface written in the name of Wu Xueya, it is said that Wu Xueya and Gu Yan were separated more than 50 years after liberation. Until the spring of 2008, Gu Junshan found her.

In Puyang, the name of Gu's "martyr" is unknown, but this aura representing red blood is not only engraved on the little-known cemetery tablet, but also written in the preface of Memory of Life and Death. The preface above praised Gu as a man who attached great importance to feelings and righteousness, and said, "I believe that if the two martyrs, Gu and He, knew in heaven, they would be happy for us." .

The author of this book, Sun, is a staff member of Yuhuatai Martyrs Cemetery Memorial Hall. In the introduction, she said that the main content of this book comes from Gu's dictation. According to the introduction, she interviewed Gu Junshan and others and learned that Gu Feast spent seven days in her sickbed 1990, and told the legendary story of Zhou Gao's life intermittently and difficultly, and told her unforgettable course of following Zhou Gao to the revolutionary road. The children recorded this precious and little-known history with a tape recorder.

There are not only photos of Gu Junshan and Wu Xueya in the front insert of the book, but also photos of the author and Gu Junshan.

Gu Junshan's comrade-in-arms recalled to Caixin reporter that when he was in Liuhe, Gu Junshan boasted to the recruits that his father had been a guard in Zhou Enlai, which was passed down as a joke.

The publication of Memory of Life and Death is highly valued by Shanghai Literature and Art Publishing House. After the publication of 20 1 1 in May, it is highly recommended.

Deng, a professor of sociology at Shanghai University, published an article in the reading section of Liberation Daily, saying that Gu, another protagonist in the book, was as "a man with thoughts and ideals" and praised Gu and his son for taking good care of the martyrs' widows and their children so far and "writing a touching chapter of affection and commitment".

In many recommended articles, it is said that Zhou Gao, the protagonist in the book, is one of the prototypes of Yu Zecheng in the hit TV series Latent. However, Zong Long, the author of Latent, confirmed to Caixin that Yu Zecheng's prototype was not Zhou Gao, and he didn't even know there was Zhou Gao at the time of writing.
