Features: The fortifications built by the Japanese puppet Manchukuo army in the occupied territory of China were proudly called the "Eastern Maginot Line" by the Kwantung Army of Japan. This is a major historical event of World War II and also one of the greatest historical mysteries left behind by Japan's fascist war. It is a history that has been buried and forgotten, yet it is a history that must be revealed and understood.
Reading The Great Revelation of the "Eastern Maginot Line" — A Record of the Japanese Puppet Manchukuo Border Fortifications (scientifically titled The Great Revelation), I was often amazed and moved; upon finishing, I was repeatedly excited and admired. If it weren’t for the author being Zhou Aimin, I would not have believed that such a specialized work blending history and literature could come from a private entrepreneur, especially one who delves into a little-known major historical event and distills vast and profound insights from scarce and fragmented historical materials. Although it is a history that has been forgotten, buried, and overlooked, it is written in the book with a complex yet clear structure, easy to understand yet profound. I believe this is both a revelatory documentary literary work and a specialized historical monograph with a literary approach to argumentation.
