According to the mythology of the Communist Party of China, the five heroes of Mount Langya () were five men who fought the Imperial Japanese Army atop Mount Langya during the Second Sino-Japanese War. They supposedly killed dozens and then committed suicide by throwing themselves off the top of the mountain to escape capture by the Japanese. Two of the Chinese soldiers survived, but all others perished. The story is celebrated in China; a Chinese court has written that the heroes and their story reflect the national sentiments, historical memories and the national spirit and are important sources and components of modern China's socialist core values. The story has been made into a movie.
