From Huangpu to New China

Shen Tinglan, a first-year student in Huangpu, witnessed the vicissitudes of modern China in his eighty years of life: from the Eastern Expedition to the Northern Expedition, the Long March of the Red Army, to the resistance against Japan at Pingxingguan, the liberation of Huaihai, and then to the war to resist U. S. Aggression and aid Korea to defend the country. He fought in every key battle and persisted in his faith despite serious injuries and tests. He witnessed the birth of New China, participated in national defense construction, and still cared about his country in his later years. This is an epic story in which a founding general spent his life fulfilling his original aspirations. It is also the answer to the struggle of a generation of revolutionaries that resonates with the nation.
