Features: This is a salvage operation record. This is a salvage operation record. This is a 40-year-old war memory unearthed from the dust. This is the truth of the battlefield witnessed and experienced. The authors of this book are war correspondents. They are journalists, and more importantly, they are soldiers. Today, they are all in their twilight years, and some of the comrades who fought alongside them have already passed away. They may have aged, but their hearts remain young, and their fighting spirit is as vibrant as ever... They cannot forget those years of war, those days of life and death, those arduous times. Thus, they opened up the war diaries sealed for 40 years, wiped away the dust of life, immersed themselves in memories and longing, and used their hands that had captured countless historical moments to compile this account of their experiences on the Vietnam War battlefield, presenting the true essence of history. Behind these simple, unadorned, and unembellished words, we read the sincere heartbeat and the genuine pulse of life... This book is a faithful record of the heroic resistance of the Vietnamese people against foreign aggression, as reflected in the pens and lenses of Chinese military journalists, and also a testament to the friendship between the Chinese and Vietnamese peoples.
