Features: Huangpu is an island, and Huangpu Island is famous worldwide due to the Whampoa Military Academy. Cao Mountain is a mountain in Taiwan where Chiang Kai-shek spent the rest of his life. From Chiang Kai-shek stepping onto Huangpu to his retreat to a solitary island, from the spark of revolution in Jinggangshan to the raising of the five-starred red flag at Tiananmen, he witnessed the ups and downs of the century, the long river of history, which fully depicted the division and recombination of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party of China, political struggles and military confrontations, Chiang Kai-shek's desolate reflection and Mao Zedong's far-sighted vision. Chiang Kai-shek's generals, such as Chen Cheng, He Yingqin, and Bai Chongxi, who served under him, and those who fought alongside Mao Zedong, such as Zhou Enlai, Zhu De, and He Long, as well as those who ultimately joined opposing factions, such as Zhang Xueliang, Zhang Zhizhong, and Li Zongren, and the historical heroes like Zhang Xueliang, Yang Huicheng, and the late Chen Duxiu. They all wrote their own lives, either heroic or puzzling, and no matter how it was, their names are deeply etched in the pages of history.
