Features: Escaping the pursuit of the Japanese army, several refugees diverged in their choices for the future. Those who sought the Eighth Route Army encountered the Kuomintang, and those who joined the Kuomintang ran into the Eighth Route Army. By chance, what seemed accidental became the inevitable outcome of fate. From then on, they met their future comrades-in-arms and enemies, stepped into war and politics, and thus embarked on a grand epic of war, with astonishing love stories and enigmatic human relationships—yesterday they were inseparable, tomorrow they turned against each other; on the battlefield they fought side by side against the enemy, behind the scenes they set traps; brothers-in-arms turned treacherous for profit, while sworn enemies showed solidarity in adversity. In this whirlpool of turbulent relationships, petty men fell, while heroes emerged. Passionary in depicting history, realistic in portraying heroes, this book is dedicated to the 85th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China.
