"Chinese Expeditionary Force: Complete Oral Records of Soldiers Participating in the Yunnan-India-Burma War" From 1942 to 1944, in order to protect the Yunnan-Burma Highway, the Chinese government sent nearly 300,000 troops into Myanmar twice to fight against the Japanese invaders. After paying the price of more than 100,000 casualties, the Chinese government completely annihilated the Japanese troops in Myanmar. In this battle, the Chinese Expeditionary Force's counterattack was successful and brilliant. It re-opened international transportation lines, allowing international aid supplies to be transported into China; it drove the Japanese army out of China's southwest gate, opening the prelude to the counterattack against Japan on the frontal battlefield; it suppressed and severely damaged the Japanese army in northern Burma and western Yunnan, creating favorable conditions for the Allied forces to recover all of Burma.

The "Chinese Expeditionary Force" has been a topic of public concern in recent years. From novels to film and television dramas to documentaries, there are many works on this theme. However, there are currently relatively few works based on the oral accounts of those who experienced the expedition, especially ordinary soldiers who participated in the war.
