Features: War or Peace? For the Chinese in 1936, it was a choice between survival or annihilation. Chiang Kai-shek said, "To expel foreign enemies, one must first pacify internal unrest." The Communist Party said, "Stop the civil war and unite against foreign aggression." The surrenderist faction said, "Japan cannot be fought; fighting them will inevitably lead to the country's downfall." Amidst the sharp debate, Japan's appetite grew larger, its arrogance more brazen, and its iron hooves swiftly invaded from North China to Inner Mongolia, leaving the suffering Chinese, much like the Middle East today, vulnerable to arbitrary division. Meanwhile, the former United States and Europe, driven by their own interests, hypocritically indulged and tolerated Japan. The Chinese nation had reached a critical moment! How to bury the hatchet and unite against foreign aggression became an urgent issue that all interest groups had to address immediately. This book is the opening volume of the epic historical novel Roaring Tiger for Eight Years, vividly depicting the complex situation in China and the Far East around 1936. It recreates the bloody and sorrowful history of the Chinese nation in peril, leaving readers indignant, stunned, and moved with righteous indignation.
