In 1943, tens of thousands of patriotic students abandoned their pens for arms, enlisting from Chongqing in the southwestern rear of China and being air-dropped to northern India via the famous "Hump Route" to join the ranks of the Chinese forces in India. This marked the patriotic student mobilization movement, known as the "Hundred Thousand Students, Hundred Thousand Troops," in the history of China's War of Resistance. This unique cultural exchange during the war deepened mutual understanding and cooperation between the soldiers of the two countries, becoming one of the sources of Sino-American friendship. This book reconstructs this historical exchange through the firsthand accounts of veterans from this very unit.
