While at Huangpu Military Academy, one day, Chiang Kai-shek went to the playground early in the morning to gather all the teachers and students for a lecture. When he saw an officer arriving late, he pushed his way into the line while buttoning up his scattered uniform. He couldn't help but be angry. He immediately called the police officer out and knelt down to demonstrate to the public. I don’t know if it was an oversight or because I wanted to give my subordinates some color. The principal left after the training, forgetting the officers kneeling on the playground. When doing morning exercises the next day, I came to the playground again. I looked up and saw a man kneeling upright on the playground, with a layer of frost on his head and back. Chiang Kai-shek was confused at first and wanted to know what this man was kneeling there for. After Chiang Kai-shek investigated, he found out that this was the officer whom he knelt down yesterday. He was immediately moved by his own heart, helped him up and walked into the principal's office, and ordered the officer to be promoted from lieutenant to lieutenant colonel. This is the famous story of "one kneel and three jumps". This officer who has a glimmer of hope in every cloud is Gu. He later became Commander-in-Chief of the Army, Chief of General Staff and Minister of Defence.

When Hu Zongduo and Tao Jun of Guangxi ruled Wuhan, they killed many people. One day, the Military Advocate General signed a petition from the Military Advocate General and asked Tao Jun for instructions. This signature opens a list of so-called "prisoners." The severity of the situation varies, and so do the proposed treatments. Some are guaranteed, some can be accomplished, and some are yet to be investigated. Tao held his hand and wrote a letter without saying a word, approving the words "shoot everything to avoid causing trouble." The circle widened and the names of the signing military judges were circled. The director pointed and said: "This is the judge." At this time, Tao realized that the circle was not accurately drawn. When changing clothes, he said: "Judges don't kill people."

Bai was called "Baitou" because of his large brain capacity and good looks. In 1912, General Bai Wen moved to Bengbu and served as governor and civil affairs officer of Anqing. At that time, there were two schools in Anhui: Military Affairs Shangshu School and Bai School. There are differences between these two groups. Ask the task force to discuss the matter to eliminate the gap with Bai. The man arrived at Bai's residence and was looking for a few words to compliment him. He thought for a while and finally came up with this sentence: "I feel honored to meet Bai Hong today. A mediocre general like Bai Gong is really unique in the country." Bai suddenly looked embarrassed. When he saw other people around him, he never dared to have another attack again.
