Features: Authentic history requires the support of human spiritual qualities. The author, with courage and insight, delves into the natural, profound, sharp, and towering honesty of the raw, turbulent, tragic, and deeply hidden realms of the Far East War. With natural force, insight, and structural power, he reaches the bloody storm of anti-humanity and anti-humanity from June 1927 to September 1945; the earth-shaking rhythms and unrestrained essence, original color, and original meaning of the anti-Japanese struggles in China, the United States, the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom, North Korea, the Philippines, Malaysia, Australia, Myanmar, Indonesia, India, Thailand, and Vietnam; the crimson history of the rise, development, and demise of Japanese militarism; and the countless disasters, sorrows, desolation, and truth that are irredeemable. After ten years of labor and reflection, the author sifts through the vast and accumulated historical materials, refining them into this work. It sets aside all preconceptions of nations, ethnicities, parties, religions, races, and cultures, leaving only a relentless pursuit of ultimate truth and compassion. Readers will gain a comprehensive view of how the high commanders of all parties in the Far East War planned and won victories, how the soldiers at all levels suffered heavy casualties in the field, and how the bones covered the vast wilderness. They will gain insight into how national leaders were swept up in the whirlwind of war, who supported and supplied the war groups that claimed to dominate the Far East, and why millions of ordinary people were unjustly killed, tortured, and slaughtered. Over one hundred historical figures are vividly portrayed with strong realism, including Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai, Joseph Stalin, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Chiang Kai-shek, and others who were both wise and brave, such as Lin Mousheng of the "136th Brigade." The work vividly depicts the soldiers of the two Chinese parties, such as Peng Dehuai and Zuo Quan. The analysis of Japan, from the emperor Hirohito to the common people, is also light and precise. The entire work blends history and literature, with an epic grandeur, depth, and unrestrained power. It presents the Far East War in a way never seen before, giving the history of authenticity a fossil-like and bas-relief quality and meaning. Reading it is deeply moving and stirring.
