Features: Before the 80th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China last summer, "The Stories of 80 Communist Party Members" created a sensation in Beijing's book market, vividly portraying the personalities and charm of many prominent leaders and outstanding figures of the Communist Party of China through little-known stories. After its release in the Beijing book market, the book became a bestseller for a time. At the request of a large number of readers, "Beijing Youth Daily" launched its sequel, "Red Memory," in a serialized format. Now collected and published, it tells the equally moving stories of 70 famous figures both within and outside the Party, as well as international friends, and answers many historical questions—What was the tragic fate of the two Shandong delegates who attended the First National Congress of the Communist Party of China? Why was there a saying of "Chen Tan from the South and Li Dazhao from the North, vowing to found the Party," yet another saying of "Li Dazhao from the North and Yang Shao from the South"? Why did a commander of the Anti-Japanese United Front lose his Party membership for 40 years before it was restored? Who was the "Party outsider Li Dingming"? How did the secret intelligence of the Japanese cabinet reach Yan'an so quickly? Why was there a female "Foreign Major" in the Eighth Route Army? Who was the only foreign-born general in the People's Liberation Army? What was the fate of the chief Soviet military and political advisor who came to China? Who came up with the name "Sun Yat-sen"? Who was the only person at the Central Committee meeting during the Cultural Revolution who opposed the expulsion of Liu Shaoqi from the Party? Peeling away the heavy layers of historical dust, the book tells the moving details of the grand narrative of the Chinese Revolution with meticulous historical records and a realistic yet vivid writing style. Many newspapers' columns on this topic once attracted hundreds of thousands of readers, with people of all age groups reflecting that the stories deeply moved them and sparked endless reflection and imagination.
