Features: This is an autobiographical book, primarily written about the struggles and practices I experienced under the leadership of the Party from 1925 to 1995. It reflects on important historical events, issues, figures, and experiences during these seven decades. Therefore, it is titled Seven Years of Struggle and Reflection. This volume, Years of War, focuses on the author's experiences from joining the Party in 1925 to the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949. It records how this rural youth chose to believe in Marxism-Leninism amidst intense social ideological struggles, how he endured trials in student, worker, and peasant movements, how he faced difficult and winding struggles and multiple arrests in the white areas during the decade-long civil war, and how he established a special form of united front with the regional warlord Yan Xishan in Shanxi under the new anti-Japanese situation. It also describes how, in the decisive battle between China's two destinies and two futures, he worked tirelessly in the Jin-Xi-Lu-Yu strategic zone and the North China Bureau to overthrow the Jiang family regime and welcome the birth of a new China. Readers can see from this that the victory of the Chinese Revolution was indeed hard-won.
"Remember the past, learn for the future." The invaluable achievements and spiritual legacy left to us by the great leaders of the Communist Party of China, led by Comrade Mao Zedong, and the numerous founding heroes, should be passed down through generations, carried forward, and celebrated to inspire the entire nation to continue striving for strength and prosperity, building our motherland into a flourishing and prosperous nation that stands tall among the world's peoples.
