For readers who love this book, the four key words of reading the series "Details Witness History · Anti-Japanese War":
Details of history – A history without details is like a specimen that cannot hear the heartbeat. Therefore, we pursue the details of history and try to perceive and touch with you every Chinese person should never forget the history – both arduous and glorious, immortal Anti-Japanese War.
Rhythm of history – The rhythm of history seems always relaxed and dull, in fact, this is due to the distance between history and reality. When we reproduce the four key points of the Anti-Japanese War in a diary format, you will truly feel the tight, urgent, and even suffocating rhythm, and all the dullness and relaxation will be swept away.
Reflection on history – Linear history is monotonous. When we broaden our perspective, we will find the multi-dimensions of history, that is, the rich possibilities. History cannot be assumed, but history does not exclude reflection – we try to wander with you in the long river of history.
Big history – The Anti-Japanese War was not only a war of Japanese militarism's aggression against China, but also the most intense collision between China and Japan in the process of moving towards the world; it was not just a struggle between China and Japan, but also the shadows of the game of great powers were faintly visible; the tragic war of the Chinese nation's destiny, was also an opportunity for history in the face of difficulties – this may be the vision of "big history" – a nation that is the great rejuvenation should have this vision. This is a topic that every Chinese person is not unfamiliar with, but we still want to explore the mysterious mechanism hidden behind the incident. For this, "91-8" in "Details Witness History · Anti-Japanese War" selects 21 days of history before and after the incident, through 38 detailed events and topics, trying to show the political struggle behind the incident from multiple and all-round perspectives. You will see that although occupying Northeast China was Japan's fixed national policy, but the outbreak of the incident was also the result of complex competition of various political efforts within Japan; although the non-resistance policy of the National Government had long been infamous, but it could not be separated from the national conditions at the time and the strength comparison between China and Japan; although China and Japan were the main characters of the incident, but the attitude of the international community and international powers at that time, in a sense, also greatly affected the progress and end of the situation. Through these, you will see the root cause of the National Government's compromise with Japan, see the fierceness of the Japanese militarists that could not cover up its major strategic mistakes, see the choices and gains and losses of political figures in the face of major changes in history. In short, 91-8 is not just a tragic time, nor is it a war that happened overnight. "Observe the trend of strength and weakness, understand the opportunity of victory and defeat," this is the purpose of us reviewing this history.
