Liberation War Records: Liberation of Peking
by Lin Keke
About This Novel
In January 1949, the People's Liberation Army approached the walls of Peiping with 900,000 troops, and the Kuomintang guard Fu Zuoyi's 250,000 troops were in dire straits. In order to protect this thousand-year-old cultural capital from war, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China advocated peaceful liberation. Driven by military deterrence, the underground party instigation of Peking, and the promotion of democrats, Fu Zuoyi finally accepted the peace conditions and signed the "Agreement on the Peaceful Resolution of the Peking Issue" on January 21. Ten days later (January 31), the People's Liberation Army held a city entry ceremony and entered Peiping, achieving liberation without bloodshed. This move enabled the Forbidden City, Summer Palace and other precious heritage to be preserved intact, marking the successful end of the Peking-Tianjin Campaign and setting an example for peaceful liberation across the country.
