It has been reviewed by the Central Literature Review Committee and specially approved for publication by the General Administration of Press and Publication. This book includes Mao Zedong's comments on 18 famous Kuomintang generals. The insights of great figures are unique, vivid, and every word is a gem, encapsulating the love-hate relationship between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. Mao Zedong proposed three methods to deal with Chiang Kai-shek, likened to driving donkeys in northern Shaanxi. "I think Li Zongren is a capable person." Mao Zedong invited Chen Mingren to his home for a meal and said, "I think Lin Biao is not as good at fighting as you!" Mao Zedong said to Fu Zuoyi, "You should be awarded a medal as big as the Temple of Heaven." Dai Anlan: The only Kuomintang general for whom Mao Zedong composed poetry in mourning, a Chinese soldier whom even the Japanese respected. "We know that Bai Chongxi is a skilled military commander, the 'Little Zhuge' of the Kuomintang. The Communist Party must also show respect for the 'Little Zhuge.' Mr. Bai enjoys commanding troops. When the Ministry of National Defense is established, wouldn't it be good to give him 500,000 to 600,000 people and make him a supreme commander?" "Now, is it you who shaved the heads of Zhu and Mao, or Zhu and Mao who shaved your head?" Zhang Huizan, a Kuomintang major general and a classmate of Chiang Kai-shek, was executed by the Red Army, causing Zhu De to deeply regret it. Cheng Qian, the only Kuomintang general whom Mao Zedong respected: "Rising and falling several times but never being defeated, not simple."
