This book takes you back to the heroic deeds of these figures. The Chinese nation cherishes peace but is brave in resisting aggression. During the perilous times when the Japanese invaders trampled the land of our motherland, countless revolutionary martyrs and patriotic figures fought tirelessly to rescue our beloved motherland from suffering and to establish an independent and sovereign new China. They took the cause of the nation upon themselves, fighting in the smoke-filled battlefields, in the enemy's prisons, and in occupied areas, struggling against Japanese imperialism and domestic reactionaries with unwavering determination. They raised the banner of anti-Japanese resistance, fought bravely, and struck hard at the invaders, pouring out their blood on the land of their motherland. With their noble spirit of patriotism and willingness to sacrifice their lives for the country, they composed a series of moving and brilliant chapters in modern Chinese history.
Dear young friends, to help you understand how the martyrs fought selflessly in the turbulent and war-torn era, for the future of China, the fate of the nation, and the liberation of the motherland, and how they engaged in fierce battles with the Japanese invaders and enemy collaborators, ultimately dying gloriously, we have compiled this biographical account of the heroic anti-Japanese martyrs. Based on historical materialism, it vividly records the glorious deeds of 20 heroic collectives and individuals in China during the Anti-Japanese War. Among them are the five warriors of Langya Mountain who bravely resisted the Japanese invaders and leaped to their deaths; valiant and renowned anti-Japanese heroes; female heroes who faced death unafraid under the enemy's white terror; and iron-willed martyrs who refused to yield even under severe torture. There are also Nationalist Party patriotic generals who defended the independence and unity of the motherland with blood and life; and the pioneers and revolutionaries of the Chinese Communist movement, whom you may all be familiar with. Their revolutionary spirit of heroism and patriotism, which drove them to fight bravely and forget themselves for the survival and development of the motherland and the nation, is awe-inspiring and will forever be recorded in history,. We hope the publication of this book is a sincere commemoration of the 60th anniversary of the Chinese people's victory in the Anti-Japanese War and the 60th anniversary of the victory in the World War II against fascism. The stories in this book are based on various historical materials and are supported by historical evidence.
