Features: The first person to break the silence of the veterans of the Japanese army who invaded China, a comprehensive recorder of the oral history of those who experienced the war, a person who questions the harsh truth, telling about war and the nation, ethnicity, history, and life. Fang Jun's 15-year collection and writing essence are finally revealed, showcasing the tragic panorama of the nationwide resistance against Japan. If I Know the Japanese Soldiers is an merciless dissection of the souls of the living veterans of the Japanese army who invaded China, stirring our indescribable anger against the invasion war, then The Last Batch of People directs this dissection towards the Chinese people who experienced the hardships of the war: Facing 15 years of humiliation and suffering, how should we reflect? What should we and our descendants do? If the Japanese invasion of China is calculated from the September 18th Incident in 1931 to Japan's surrender on August 15, 1945, it lasted for 15 years. Every person interviewed in The Last Batch of People lived through this period in their youth. The impact of the war's hardships and traumas may differ from person to person, but every individual's hatred for the invaders and their hope for the unification and prosperity of the nation are completely the same.
