Features: Tells the bloody history of the Chiang family's rule from its establishment to stability, and recreates the apocalyptic scene of the Nanjing government from its glory to collapse. The Chiang family's rule from establishment to stability is a history of bloody conquest. Chiang Kai-shek and Soong Mei-ling suppressed workers' and peasants' movements, eliminated internal political rivals, subdued local warlords, "encircled and suppressed" the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, and attacked progressive forces, all of which are well-documented. When Chiang Kai-shek and Soong Mei-ling returned to Nanjing from Chongqing, they were hailed as "national heroes," but little did they know that within three and a half years, the tide of history had turned, and they ended up stranded on a lonely island. The glory of Nanjing was fleeting, but the heartache was eternal.
