Features: The hardships of entrepreneurship are numerous battles. The victory of the Chinese revolution experienced a difficult and winding journey. From the thunderous artillery fire of the Nanchang Uprising to the grand parade celebrating the founding of New China, in the brilliant galaxy of the glorious history of the People's Liberation Army, the dazzling gold and silver stars on the shoulders of the generals and commanders shine brightly, testifying to the arduous struggles, survival from peril, and journey from victory to glory of the Republic. When they led their troops across the borders, 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 stood at attention, saluting as troops marched 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 warfare. They led their troops into battle, fought bravely, and made outstanding contributions to the liberation of the people; they devoted themselves heart and soul, worked tirelessly, and established immortal merits for building New China, composing a series of moving stories and leaving behind many timeless legends. 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 advances steadily into the 21st century, it is undeniable that the veteran generals and commanders who once rode into battle to lay the foundation for the new nation are gradually decreasing in number, making them even more precious. Today, as the stars of the generals and commanders twinkle and gradually fade from our sight, amidst reverence and nostalgia, reflecting on the legendary life trajectories of these meritorious figures over decades of military service, and listening to the legends and stories about them, can also provide 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, narrates their colorful lives and life-changing events in a captivating manner, and their selfless and fearless, party-first high moral character. It reflects from all angles and perspectives the legendary military exploits, superb command skills, heroic spirit, noble moral integrity, pleasant interests, and deep romantic relationships of the meritorious and renowned generals and commanders. It is both entertaining and engaging to read. The founding heroes, their merits recorded in history; the generation of generals, their spirits still intact. I believe you will surely find inspiration, enlightenment, and gains from this book.
