My maternal grandfather, Jin Zhenguo, ruined his family by smoking opium. To secure a profitable exchange, Jin Laoliu, the Jin clan leader and village head, trapped Jin Zhenguo, who had nowhere else to turn, into representing the Jin family in the Nationalist army... After a series of hardships, he and my fourth uncle, Chen Maode, took part in the humiliating Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain. They never came back...
Across the thirteen battles at Zhongtiao Mountain, the author faithfully recreates the tragic story of more than three thousand "stubborn lads" from Shaanxi, who, out of ammunition and food, plunged into the Yellow River...
During the eight-year War of Resistance, the men of Shaanxi fought fiercely against the Japanese invaders, ultimately preventing Japanese infantry from breaking through Tongguan and crossing the Yellow River. This stopped them from crossing the Qinba Mountains and circling around to Chongqing, where history might have repeated the tragedy of the Mongol Yuan dynasty's destruction of the Southern Song...
My grandfather Jin Zhenguo and my fourth uncle Chen Maode fought desperately on a second front against all kinds of hostile forces. They gathered intelligence, eliminated spies, beheaded Japanese soldiers, rescued hostages, fought packs of wolves, and recovered cultural relics... They will pierce the layers of darkness surrounding the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain and bring to light the patriotism and courage of ordinary Chinese people!
The author has separated fact from fiction, visited the sites, and consulted historical records, discarding many accounts that contradicted one another. This book brings family vendettas and national hatred back to life, ensuring that the stirring tales of war from the turbulent Republican era will not fade away and be buried in the dust of history. May the heroes who gave their lives in the great war to defend the nation never be forgotten...
