Features: With the defeat in Shanghai and Nanjing on the brink of peril, the Nationalist Government decided to move the capital to Chongqing. At this time, the Communist Party of China, with the mission of saving the Chinese nation, acted in the fundamental interests of the country and nation, forming a united front with the Nationalists. It dispatched offices in places like "Baiting" and, under the leadership of Mao Zedong and Zhou Enlai, made unremitting efforts to promote the development of the nationwide resistance against Japan. Thus, from December 1937 to May 1945, against the backdrop of the global anti-Fascist war, both inside and outside "Baiting"—at the critical juncture of the survival or demise of the Chinese nation—the various parties, armies, strata, and forces of China staged one drama after another, full of tragedy, comedy, and farce. The book features fluent and solemn writing, intricate and vivid plots, realistic details, novel perspectives, and many materials that are newly disclosed.
