It was awarded the "Military Literature Bronze Statue Award" in Taiwan in 1981. Since this book is a firsthand account of battlefield struggles written by a frontline commander of the War of Resistance, it provides a detailed and vivid depiction of major battles during the war. To make it more accessible to modern readers, especially young people, and to enhance their understanding, the book has been supplemented with photographs by relevant experts. These photos illustrate not only the "Third Battle of Changsha," the "Battle of Changde," and the "Battle of Hengyang" but also the war situations of the Allied forces (including Chinese troops) in various theaters of the world.
