Features: This book serves as a sequel to "The Panmunjom Negotiations" and is a historical collection strictly based on objective facts. It compiles the recollections or diary materials of leaders and comrades from various parts of the Chinese People's Volunteer Army's armistice negotiation delegation who personally participated in this negotiation struggle. From different perspectives and aspects, it presents the specific details of this military-diplomatic battle to the readers. Du Ping's article (excerpts from relevant chapters of "At the Headquarters of the Chinese People's Volunteer Army"), for instance, records the five key experiences of the success of the Korean armistice negotiations, as reported by Du Ping at the meeting of the Central People's Government Commission in 1953. It is concise yet profound and well worth reading. To publish this sequel to "The Panmunjom Negotiations," comrades formed an editorial team led by Chai Chengwen. They spent over three years collecting relevant materials and meticulously verified the facts through collective memories among old comrades. Additionally, they compiled an organizational chart and roster of the Chinese People's Volunteer Army's armistice negotiation delegation in Kaesong, which is appended to this book. This is also a historically significant endeavor.
