   To answer the original poster's question about whether any work related to the War of Resistance Against Japan is equivalent to "Bright Sword," the answer is yes. While a good foundation in the War of Resistance is necessary, it requires connection to the founding marshals. Without using the "Bright Sword" framework, any work, especially those involving the Red Army period, would be censored. Therefore, it's not that authors want to write "Bright Sword," but rather that without it, they'd be banned and unable to even be seen.
