Features: This book, based on existing historical materials, also incorporates newly declassified archives from the Russian State Archive of Literature and Art and other recent historical documents and research findings. On this foundation, it provides a panoramic documentary reconstruction of the "Xi'an Incident" of 1936, which aimed to launch the resistance against Japanese aggression. The book records the initial motivations of Generals Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng, their historical contributions, and how the Communist Party of China skillfully guided the complex and turbulent incident toward the beginning of a unified national resistance against Japan. This book serves as both a specialized historical research monograph for modern history scholars and university/college students to understand the origins and outcomes of the "Xi'an Incident," as well as an accessible historical read for young students and general readers to explore the development of modern Chinese history.
