Features: The Chongqing Conference was the beginning of the Nationalist Government's attempt to resolve political and military disputes with the Communist Party of China through negotiations after the victory in the War of Resistance. It was also the only time the leaders of the two parties engaged in talks. During the negotiations, the leaders of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party pledged to work together to rebuild the war-torn country. However, at this time, the United States and the Soviet Union, seeking their interests in China, frequently intervened in the conflict between the two parties, leading to the eventual breakdown of the negotiations and the resumption of hostilities. This book takes you on a journey through the hidden corridors of history, allowing you to judge for yourself! At the beginning of the post-war negotiations between the KMT and the CCP, a journalist once predicted that the Chinese people always prefer happy endings, and that this negotiation would also result in "a smile to erase old grievances." However, after the cups were exchanged and the wine was drunk, it echoed the words of scholar Liang Shuming: "When you wake up, peace is already dead!" This book uses authentic historical records, an impartial stance, and straightforward language to uncover the behind-the-scenes story of the KMT-CCP negotiations.
