"General Commoner: The Autobiography of Feng Yuxiang" is the autobiography of General Feng Yuxiang. It records his legendary journey from a soldier in the late Qing Dynasty to a "Christian General" in simple and powerful writing. The book reveals the inside story of the corruption of the old army, details major events such as the Luanzhou Uprising, the overthrow of Zhang Xun and the Five Plains Pledge of Allegiance, etc. It also frankly analyzes the mentality of breaking with Chiang Kai-shek and committing to resisting Japan and saving the country. Feng Yuxiang observed modern China from the perspective of a "commoner general". He not only had a strict record of running the military with an iron fist, but also established education and advocated honesty and concern for people's livelihood. This memoir, which combines a personal epic with a mirror of the times, is a valuable first-hand document for studying the history of warlords and the Anti-Japanese War in the Republic of China.
