Books That Teach You Something
Nothing boring. I want books that weave real knowledge into the story. No made-up settings, and the knowledge should be accurate and useful.
Action-Packed Stories About the War Against Japan
I want a book like The Snow Wolf's Mission 2: Wolf Hero. The situation in Wuhan and other regions was becoming increasingly precarious. Just then, the patriotic spirit of a legendary figure was awakened once more, and by a twist of fate...
👀 Books That Teach You Something
I want to read something like "Paradise Lost". Books in the same vein as "Paradise Lost".
Looking for High-Quality Historical Fiction. No Mindless Power Trips or Brain-Dead Plotting
I want high-quality historical fiction that’s engaging and doesn’t dumb things down or rely on brainless plots. It can be satisfying, but don’t treat readers like idiots. No stories like the one where the protagonist fools Cao Cao’s quartermaster about the provisions from the start, or those where a literati protagonist suddenly has the strength of a tyrant. They’re unoriginal and mindless...

Oral history of Liu Yongfu, a famous anti-French and anti-Japanese general! Liu Yongfu has never read a book, knows martial arts, comes from a poor family, and lives a standard life for a low-level person. Eventually he became a great national hero and an amazing figure!
An oral history of General Liu Yongfu. Authentic and trustworthy! There were not many generals in China who fought against France and Japan at the same time, and General Liu Yongfu was considered an extremely rare one. And it was a team that had almost nothing but created conditions to resist France and Japan!
Liu Yongfu looks back at the turbulent times through his autobiography. The Black Flag Army resisted the French, crossed the sea to Taiwan to fight the Japanese, and traveled to many countries throughout his life. This is not boring historical data, but the true words of those who have experienced it. You can see the righteousness and helpless situation of a military general in the troubled times of the late Qing Dynasty, and truly touch the ups and downs of the late Qing Dynasty.
This is an awe-inspiring book. The dictation of Liu Yongfu, a famous anti-Japanese general, in his later years was recorded by a tutor and spanned China, Vietnam and France, giving it a full sense of reality. After watching too many fictional anti-war dramas, this kind of authentic historical record is even more shocking. When he talked about his life, his tone was very plain, but behind it were the thrilling war years. After reading it, I really felt that the four words "national hero" were as heavy as Mount Tai.
"Liu Yongfu Oral History" (formerly known as "Liu Yongfu History") is a rare first-hand oral historical material from the person involved. Liu Yongfu, the leader of the Black Flag Army, recounted his life in his later years. From the Tiandihui uprising, Vietnam's resistance to France, to crossing the sea to Taiwan to fight against Japan, every word is a personal record of the modern border wars. You can not only see the passion of national heroes to defend their country, but also read about the struggles of ordinary people in the torrent of the times. The oral memories have a personal perspective, which can be compared with other historical materials when reading. It is a must-see book for understanding the Sino-French War and Taiwan's resistance to Japan after the Sino-Japanese War.
This book is Liu Yongfu's autobiography in his later years, recording his life of resisting the French, protecting his family, and defending his homeland against Japan. The lines are full of passion and character, and it was truly shocking to read. It made me truly feel the unyielding feelings of the national hero for his family and country.
There are very few generals who resisted both France and Japan at the same time. This book preserves the legend of Liu Yongfu in the form of oral records. Every line is filled with personal experiences on the battlefield, making the distant modern frontier struggles vivid and palpable.
This is the personal account left by General Liu Yongfu, and the first-person perspective is particularly powerful. The Black Flag Army resisted the French, crossed the sea to protect Taiwan and resisted the Japanese, and told the past events across China, Vietnam and France. It is a rare first-hand oral historical material.
"Liu Yongfu Oral History" records Liu Yongfu's magnificent life in the form of first-person oral narration. As the leader of the Black Flag Army, he aided Vietnam in resisting the French and crossed the sea to protect Taiwan. When the national power of the late Qing Dynasty was declining, he stood up to defend the enemy on his own. Different from the historical materials compiled by later generations, this deathbed autobiography restores the years of war and strife from the unique perspective of those who experienced it. It is not only a heroic legend, but also a precious first-hand historical material, which allows us to see that in an era of turbulent mountains and rivers, ordinary people can also stand up and protect the territory.
This book originated from Liu Yongfu's oral accounts in his later years, recorded by Huang Haian and edited by Luo Xianglin. It is the core first-hand historical material for studying Liu Yongfu and the relations between China and Vietnam and China and France in the late Qing Dynasty. The whole book follows his life trajectory: joining the Tiandihui in his early years, entering Vietnam to establish the Black Flag Army, resisting the French twice, and going to Taiwan to fight the Japanese in bloody battles during the Sino-Japanese War of Sino-Japanese War. Different from the cold records written by historians, oral texts bring the vividness of those who experienced it, telling the story of troubled times on the battlefield and the dangers of home and country.
