About This Novel
The author interviewed the surviving veterans of the Anti-Japanese War at the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army in the old anti-Japanese area of Shanxi, including five veterans who participated in the military parade to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the victory of the Anti-Japanese War. The text in the book does not reproduce the war scenes of that year, but focuses on exploring their mental journeys. During the war years, they relied on the power of "millet plus rifles" to magically wield swords. Their loyalty and love for the party made them the shining history of the Republic. From 1937 to 2017, eighty years passed in a blink of an eye. Life grows old, years pass, and wars fade away. The old man today is the brave soldier back then. The military spirit and blood hidden in the smoke left an indelible mark on their hearts. Their names should be engraved on the monument of the Republic, and we young people should keep them in our hearts. The author visited nearly 20 people who experienced the war and went deep into many places and villages where the Anti-Japanese War took place, such as Lizhuangtan and Guanjianao. He recorded the spiritual reflections of the veterans in more than 100,000 words with awe and emotion.
