Features: General Feng Yuxiang (1882-1948) lived through two dynasties (Qing and Republic of China) and several generations (from Guangxu to Xuantong to Chiang Kai-shek), enduring hardships and striving for light and progress throughout his life. He was a renowned military figure, politician, outstanding patriot, and a strong democratic fighter with significant influence on modern and contemporary Chinese history. Feng Yuxiang's Autobiography includes three volumes: My Life, My War Life, and The I Knew, which truly reflect his personality charm of daring to do what others dare not and speak what others dare not. This volume, My War Life, is an oral account by General Feng Yuxiang, recorded by his secretary. In 1937, at the beginning of the War of Resistance, General Feng Yuxiang, driven by the desire to stand united against the enemy, traveled extensively, calling for cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party of China to resist Japan. He personally commanded battles on the front lines, inspected and supervised military training, and promoted the idea of saving the nation to the people, widely organizing fundraising campaigns for the war effort. He deeply understood the lives of soldiers and the suffering of the common people, condemning the traitorous acts of those who collaborated with Japan and exposing the anti-communist plots of the hardliners, positioning himself as "an unshakable pillar in the fight for resistance." This book reveals many little-known stories of the War of Resistance through a wealth of facts, holding significant historical and literary value. The entire work is written in the first person, making it vivid, sincere, and profound, with an impact that shakes people to their core. It is a book worth reading and collecting.
