About This Novel
On April 23, 1949, the 35th Army of the Third Field Army broke through the Yangtze River defense line in a cross-river battle and liberated Nanjing without any blood. The Kuomintang defenders abandoned the city and fled. The People's Liberation Army occupied the presidential palace at midnight and lowered the blue sky and white sun flag, ending the 22-year rule of the Kuomintang. The thousand-year-old ancient capital was completely restored, and monuments such as Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum and the Forbidden City of the Ming Dynasty remained intact. This battle marked the collapse of the ruling center of the Nationalist Government. Mao Zedong's poem "Zhongshan turned yellow from the storm, and millions of troops crossed the river" announced the beginning of a new era in Chinese history.
