Features: The hardships of entrepreneurship are numerous battles. The victory of the Chinese revolution experienced a difficult and winding path. From the thunderous artillery of the Nanchang Uprising to the grand parade of the founding of the new China, among the brilliant stars in the glorious history of the People's Liberation Army, the shining gold and silver stars on the shoulders of the generals and commanders are the brightest, testifying to the arduous struggles, the transformation from crisis to stability, and the journey from victory to glory of the Republic. When they led their troops across the border, across the Yangtze River, and across the Taiwan Strait, when they gazed as the military flags were raised over the Presidential Palace in Nanjing, and when they saluted with respect, watching row after row of soldiers marching proudly through Tiananmen Square, their honor and pride as soldiers reached their glorious peak. The heroic stories of the generals and commanders, full of legends, left a brilliant and unique image in the history of Chinese wars. They led their troops into battle, fought bravely in the war zones, made outstanding contributions for the liberation of the people; they devoted themselves heart and soul, exhausted their efforts for the construction of the new China, established immortal merits, and composed a series of moving stories, leaving behind many legendary tales. Their experiences were as brilliant and crimson as a magnificent sunset. Their achievements were as radiant and glorious as a bountiful autumn. As the People's Republic of China firmly advances into the 21st century, it is undeniable that the living veterans who once rode into battle to lay the foundation for the new China are gradually decreasing, making them even more precious. Today, as the stars of the generals and commanders gradually fade from our sight, in reverence and nostalgia, reflecting on the legendary life trajectories of these meritorious figures over decades of military service, listening to the legends and stories about them, also provides us with insights and inspiration for our lives today. This book vividly records the legends and anecdotes of the 10 Marshals, 10 Generals, 57 Vice Marshals, 177 Vice Generals, and 1,359 Colonels who were promoted to their ranks between 1955 and 1944. It provides a brilliant description of their extraordinary experiences of wisdom and courage, narrates their colorful lives and life changes in a charming manner, and their selfless and fearless, party-first high moral integrity. It reflects from all angles and perspectives the legendary military exploits, superb command skills, heroic spirit, noble moral character, pleasant hobbies, and deep romantic relationships of the meritorious generals and commanders. It is both entertaining and captivating to read. The founding heroes, their merits recorded in history; the generation of generals, their spirits still preserved. I believe you will surely find enlightenment, inspiration, and gains from this book.
