Features: 2005 marked the 60th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War. We detest war, but we must never forget history. Through eight years of arduous resistance, the Chinese nation forged a great spirit of resistance characterized by unity, indomitable perseverance, and heroic struggle. The War of Resistance was a history of self-salvation and self-strengthening for the entire Chinese nation, and also an important part of the global Anti-Fascist War. In the 21st century, the Chinese nation has reached a new historical height. Looking back at history at the threshold of the new century and re-examining the War of Resistance within the new spatiotemporal coordinates are crucial tasks for maintaining national self-reflection and cultural self-esteem, carrying extraordinary admonitory significance. The People's Liberation Army Publishing House has launched a series of books commemorating the 60th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War, presenting a comprehensive and multi-faceted portrayal and analysis of that heroic and glorious period of history. Yan'an Command Headquarters, Headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, and Headquarters of the New Fourth Army narrate the story from different perspectives, describing how the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, the Central Military Commission, the Headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, and the Headquarters of the New Fourth Army commanded the Eighth Route Army, the New Fourth Army, and other forces in the War of Resistance.
