Features: This is a documentary work completed by the author after years of effort, detailing the struggles and turning points of the Red Army's fate. It vividly records a thrilling contest and duel that took place during the Long March of the Red Army, embracing and breaking away, with every detail verified by history and every line of text stirring the soul. Many little-known secrets revealed in the book leave a profound shock! At the same time, it describes not just a "march" in the conventional sense, nor battles, nor victories. It is a tragic epic of human survival, drenched in blood and tears! A thunderous symphony of fate! The book uses the narrative style of documentary literature to show how Zhang Guotao transformed from a Marxist into a rightist opportunist, with many little-known secrets revealed that make one deeply ponder. For example, Mao Zedong's younger brother was killed in Maogai, becoming a victim of the harsh struggles within the party; (Liao Chengzhi) saved his life with a pen and brush, avoiding being "relocated"; to achieve the reunion, Mao Zedong made a life-or-death gamble. Although the book records historical facts, it has a high literary quality. It holds practical significance for the older comrades who had personal experiences to recall history, and for the younger generation to understand history. It is a masterpiece worth savoring.
(Note: The name "" (Liao Chengzhi) was left in Chinese as it is a proper noun. If a translation is needed, it would be "Liao Chengzhi.")
