The Chinese Expeditionary Force: A Complete Oral History of the Soldiers Who Fought in Yunnan, India, and Burma (A Classic Oral History from Taiwan's Academia Sinica)

"We must let future generations know that our parents love the country and fight against the Japanese. If the country forgets these things, then this nation will be sad." The Chinese Expeditionary Force should also be the "cutest people" in our Chinese nation! Through interviews with the descendants of the generals of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, veterans of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, and experts on the history of the Anti-Japanese War more than 60 years ago, as well as a large number of on-site photography, it was recorded in detail that during the Anti-Japanese War, a Chinese army fought an arduous and extremely tragic bloody battle with the Japanese invaders in Myanmar and Yunnan, China, and the tragic deeds of tens of thousands of soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country.

If you don't read this book, you really don't know much about this history. In order to protect the Burma Highway, the Chinese government twice sent nearly 300,000 troops into Burma to fight against the Japanese invaders. After paying the price of more than 100,000 casualties, the Chinese government completely annihilated the Japanese troops in Burma. In this battle, the Chinese Expeditionary Force made a brilliant counterattack and re-opened international transportation lines, allowing international aid supplies to be transported into China. Most of the narrators in this book were soldiers who participated in the war, and their oral accounts fully restored the history of the Chinese Expeditionary Force.

This is an epic. The oral memoir tells how the Chinese soldiers fought bloody battles to protect their homeland, especially the hardships they endured while crossing the Foreigner Mountains. The escape of the British troops in Burma and Stilwell's blind command were so helpless to the poor and weak China at that time. It also tells future generations that only when our motherland becomes stronger will we not be bullied by foreign powers.

War that occurred in history has many different manifestations. From different angles, we can see the results from different angles. The author mainly uses first-hand oral information, and through the personal experiences and memories of the soldiers, he restores the battlefield environment, combat conditions and living conditions at that time. Through these oral stories, readers can have a deeper understanding of the Chinese Expeditionary Force's hard work, heroic sacrifice and loyalty to the country. War is always cruel, and we should cherish the hard-won peace now.

Chinese Expeditionary Force—a name that sounds daunting. This is a historical documentary about the Chinese Expeditionary Force. Through interviews and oral accounts of soldiers who participated in the war, the author restores the hardships and bravery of the Chinese Expeditionary Force on the battlefield of Yunnan, India and Myanmar. This book describes in detail the combat experience, life difficulties and loyalty to the motherland of the Chinese Expeditionary Force. For readers who are interested in China's modern history and the history of the Anti-Japanese War, this book provides precious oral historical materials and insights into human nature.

The experience of these soldiers is so admirable. They made huge sacrifices to defend the country. Moreover, the author's writing style is very simple, making people feel like they are listening to a friend telling true stories. I think this book is very meaningful and can help us understand that period of history better.

Salute to the Chinese Expeditionary Force, all those who fight for the country are heroes! 👍

China has the best soldiers in the world.
