Features: From the thunderous fireworks of the founding of the People's Republic, to the fervor of the Great Leap Forward; from the turbulent winds of to the historical mistakes of the Cultural Revolution; from Lin Biao's factionalism and meteoric rise to his downfall and disintegration; from the dazzling prominence of Jiang Qing's gang to the People's judgment on the "Gang of Four"; from the historic turning point of the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee to the subsequent reform and opening-up. The elderly leaders of the People's Republic, such as Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai, and Deng Xiaoping, along with numerous generals under their command—Peng Dehuai, Chen Yi, He Long, Chen Geng, Liu Yalou, Geng Biao, and Huang Zhen—performed a grand historical drama on this grand stage. Suddenly, like a storm sweeping the land, villains took power, and the mighty generals, once fierce and formidable, tasted the bitterness of life. The astute diplomats found it hard to discern right from wrong, as black and white were reversed, and the land suffered injustice. Fortunately, history is written by the people, and in the end, light triumphed over darkness, and justice overcame evil. You may exclaim in admiration at the actions of the revolutionary elite of the generation, sigh in regret over the historical deviations, and be filled with inspiration for the bright future of the People's Republic.
Opening the scroll, the origins and developments of every major event, and the conflicts or cooperation of every group of figures, will give you new insights. Each story reveals the extraordinary wisdom and personal strength of the leaders, while also revealing their inner frustrations and unspoken struggles—this is a true portrait of the leader group of the People's Republic. Objectively speaking, no one can fully transcend the limitations of history. They are human, not gods, and therefore we do not demand perfection from them. We only strive to restore history to its original form, to strengthen the weak links within our nation, and to truly stand independently among the nations of the world.
The tumultuous journey of the People's Republic in the past was created by a series of key figures at critical moments. Led by Mao Zedong, the Communist Party of China sought tirelessly, undoubtedly at the center of the great whirlpool. Progress and setbacks, glory and dreams, countless joys and sorrows, and the complexities of right and wrong compose a timeless epic that moves the soul.
