Features: Dear Readers: What you are holding in your hands may not just be a book, but a play—a vivid and real historical drama of the revolution. It will tell you a story: A German sent by Moscow, traveling thousands of miles to China, to promote the spirit of "communism" and "internationalism." His motives were perhaps not entirely selfless, as he considered the liberation of the Chinese people his own cause. Yet, he nearly destroyed the invincible Red Army of workers and peasants and threw the glorious and great Communist Party of China into disarray. Ironically, due to this foreigner's mistakes, the Communist Party of China and the Red Army were forced to embark on the Long March of 25,000 li. Yet, this also created a historic miracle that shocked the world for the Chinese revolution, making every Chinese revolutionary and many Chinese people take pride in it. What this book seeks to explore is exactly how all of this happened? How did the world-famous 25,000-li Long March of the Red Army of workers and peasants come about? This historical mystery is closely tied to the German, Otto Loewi. In a sense, without the participation in decision-making and the erroneous command of this Comintern military advisor to the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, the Long March might not have occurred. For decades, clouds of mystery have surrounded Loewi. The author of this book has been concerned with, collected, and studied relevant materials for more than 30 years, verifying and correcting a large amount of historical facts about Loewi, including many exclusive discoveries—for example, whether Loewi was truly an advisor sent by the Comintern? Was his rival the German advisor to Chiang Kai-shek, Siegfried Seckert? Did he never admit his mistakes? And what about his personal life, his downfall, and what he did after leaving China? And so on. This book will bring this important figure and the history of the Long March closer to readers, making it more detailed, rich, and accurate.
