Features: Renowned war correspondent Tang Shizeng embarked on multiple self-driving journeys to Europe, America, Southeast Asia, and domestic World War II battlefields since 1992, collecting extensive firsthand materials and on-site photographs. It took him 13 years to write My D-Day. This is a small flower dedicated to the 60th anniversary of the victory in the Anti-Fascist War. The black center represents a 7.62mm bullet shot into the chest, while the red petals are the blood bursting from the skin as the bullet passed through--in memory of the nameless heroes who fought for "eliminating fascism, freedom belongs to the people." "To the world, you are just a soldier; to your mother, you are the entire world." The Gulf War left Tang Shizeng with aplastic anemia and severe depression, hitting the lowest point of his life. Yet when he completed My D-Day--a book that transcends war itself, evoking tearful smiles of peace--his precious faith was lost and then regained.
