On August 24, 1945, the Jiaodong Eighth Route Army took advantage of the surrender of the Japanese army and stormed Yantai, annihilating more than 5,000 Japanese and puppet troops, becoming the first coastal port city liberated by the CCP. In the autumn of 1947, the Kuomintang troops briefly reoccupied the area. On October 15, 1948, the Shandong Corps was liberated for the second time, wiping out all 8,000 enemy defenders. The city changed hands three times and finally belonged to the people, preserving national industries such as Changyu Winery and Shipyard, and opening up the maritime trade channel in the liberated area. It is known as the "key to the liberation of Jiaodong" and provided a forward base for the liberation of Qingdao in 1949.

On December 1, 1948, during the second stage of the Huaihai Campaign, Du Yuming's group of the Kuomintang abandoned Xuzhou and fled south. The East China Field Army took advantage of the situation and moved in to liberate this strategic hub of "the thoroughfare to five provinces" without any bloodshed. In this battle, more than 1,700 artillery pieces, 250 tanks and armored vehicles, and a large amount of military supplies were seized, cutting off the land retreat of the largest corps of the national army. The liberation of Xuzhou connected the East China and Central Plains liberated areas, laid the foundation for the encirclement of Du Yuming's group in Chenguanzhuang, and accelerated the victory of the Huaihai Campaign. Mao Zedong praised it as "the master key to the decisive battle on the southern front."

In April 1948, after the Northwest Field Army depleted the enemy forces in the Qinghua Bian and Yangma River battles, it took advantage of the victory to pursue the retreating southern Hu Zong. On April 22, the People's Liberation Army recaptured Yan'an without firing a shot, ending the Kuomintang's one-year and one-month occupation of the Northern Shaanxi Liberated Area. Mao Zedong's strategic concept of "exchanging one Yan'an for all of China" was realized, which greatly boosted the morale of the national liberation battlefield.

In December 1947, troops from the Shanxi-Hebei-Luyu Military Region launched the Battle of Yuncheng under the command of Xu Xiangqian. The People's Liberation Army used tunnel blasting combined with coordinated infantry and artillery tactics. After 19 days and nights of bloody battles, the People's Liberation Army captured the strategic fortress Yuncheng in southern Shanxi on December 28, wiping out more than 13,000 enemy defenders and capturing 112 artillery pieces. This battle was the first example of "civilian work destroying a group of bunkers", destroying the hub of the National Army's Yellow River defense line, opening up the channel between Shanxi, Hebei, Shandong and Henan and the northwest liberated areas, accumulating experience for subsequent offensives in Linfen and Taiyuan, and laying the foundation for the liberation of Shanxi.

In October 1948, the Northeast Field Army implemented a 150-day military siege of Changchun. Through economic blockade and political disintegration, the defenders were forced to divide. On October 17, Zeng Zesheng, commander of the 60th Army, led an uprising of 26,000 troops; on October 19, Zheng Dongguo, deputy commander-in-chief of the Northeast "Suppression General", led the remaining 47,000 troops to surrender. This soldier liberated the first provincial capital city without bloodshed, protected the Manchukuo Imperial Palace, the First Automobile Factory and other facilities, wiped out 96,000 enemies, cut off the Shenyang National Army's escape route to the north, and created a strategic example of "protracted siege and long siege".

In August 1949, Kuomintang Hunan Provincial Chairman Cheng Qian and First Corps Commander Chen Mingren led an uprising of 77,000 people. On August 5, the People's Liberation Army peacefully entered Changsha. This move will avoid the thousand-year-old war in the ancient city, preserve cultural heritage such as Yuelu Academy and Tianxin Pavilion, and accelerate the liberation of Hunan as a whole. The Changsha Uprising shattered Bai Chongxi's "Hunan-Kiangxi Defense Line" and caused the remaining enemies in central China to flee south to Guangxi and Guangxi. It laid the foundation for the Hengbao Battle to annihilate the main force of the Guangxi clique. Mao Zedong praised it as "producing a demonstration effect on the liberation of the southwest" and became a key turning point in the strategic pursuit phase of the Liberation War.

In October 1945, the Shanxi-Hebei-Luyu Military Region launched the Shangdang Campaign to liberate Changzhi. Liu and Deng's army used the tactic of "siege the city and fight for reinforcements", first annihilating Yan Xishan's 20,000 reinforcements, and then broke through Changzhi City, wiping out all 17,000 enemy defenders. This battle shattered the national army's plan to advance north, annihilating a total of 35,000 enemies, directly supporting the Chongqing negotiations, forcing Chiang Kai-shek to sign the "Double Ten Agreement", and started the first strategic defense victory in the Liberation War.

In September 1945, the Eighth Route Army's Binhai District conquered Linyi for the first time and established the capital of Shandong Liberated Area. In February 1947, Huaye voluntarily evacuated in order to implement the "Laiwu Campaign" strategy of luring the enemy. In the same year, it was retaken after the victory in Menglianggu. The city changed hands three times and eventually became a consolidated base, providing troops and material support for the East China Field Army. Chen Yi called it "the heart of the Shandong Liberation War."

In March 1948, the East China Field Army and the Shanxi-Hebei-Luyu Field Army launched the Battle of Luoyang. Chen Shiju and Tang Liang commanded 28 regiments to storm Chiang Kai-shek's "key fortification" city. After seven days and nights of bloody battles (March 11-14), they pioneered the People's Liberation Army's infantry and artillery coordinated attack tactics, annihilating more than 20,000 people from the 206th Division of the Youth Army and capturing the division commander Qiu Xingxiang. This battle cut off the Longhai Railway, forcing Hu Lian's regiment to return for reinforcements and cover Liu and Deng's army as they moved to western Henan. Mao Zedong concluded that "by attacking Luoyang, the war situation in the Central Plains suddenly became clear", laying the foundation for the Eastern Henan Campaign.

On April 23, 1949, the 35th Army of the Third Field Army broke through the Yangtze River defense line in a cross-river battle and liberated Nanjing without any blood. The Kuomintang defenders abandoned the city and fled. The People's Liberation Army occupied the presidential palace at midnight and lowered the blue sky and white sun flag, ending the 22-year rule of the Kuomintang. The thousand-year-old ancient capital was completely restored, and monuments such as Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum and the Forbidden City of the Ming Dynasty remained intact. This battle marked the collapse of the ruling center of the Nationalist Government. Mao Zedong's poem "Zhongshan turned yellow from the storm, and millions of troops crossed the river" announced the beginning of a new era in Chinese history.

In May 1949, the 15th Corps of the Fourth Field Army (Deng Hua's Department) launched a pursuit on the Ganjiang River. The Kuomintang Xiawei Corps, which fled south after the Battle of Crossing the River, abandoned Nanchang. On May 22, the 43rd Army of the People's Liberation Army entered this "hero city" without bloodshed. This campaign cut off the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Railway, isolated the Bai Chongxi Group in Central China, and protected revolutionary relics such as the August 1st Uprising Memorial Hall. The liberation of Nanchang connected the liberated areas of East China and South China, clearing obstacles for the advance into Guangdong, and marked a key node in the deepening advancement of the Liberation War.

On June 2, 1949, troops from the Shandong Military Region entered Qingdao after a long siege. Previously, U. S. Warships and Kuomintang defenders (Liu Anqi's troops) had evacuated one after another. The People's Liberation Army took over the city without bloodshed and completely took over more than 200 factories and port facilities. This battle ended the colonial traces of the great powers in Qingdao (Germany, Japan, and the United States successively stationed troops), preserved core industries such as textiles and machinery, completed the liberation of Shandong, and provided a strategic pivot for the construction of the East China Navy.

In May 1949, the Third Field Army launched the Battle of Shanghai. Chen Yi and Su Yu commanded an army of 300,000 people to adopt the tactics of "shooting rats in a china shop": heavy artillery was banned in urban operations and they fought street by street. After 15 days and nights of bloody fighting (May 12-27), 153,000 enemy defenders were annihilated and core facilities such as the Bund and the power plant were preserved. Liberation was announced on May 27, and citizens opened their windows early in the morning to see PLA soldiers sleeping on the streets. This battle created an example of "complete military and political victory" - zero damage to the city, uninterrupted water and electricity, and complete recovery of the financial system. It marked the return of China's largest economic center to the people and set a benchmark for the Communist Party to take over large cities.

In October 1949, the 15th Corps of the Fourth Field Army launched the Guangdong Campaign. After defeating Bai Chongxi's group at the Battle of Hengbao, Si Ye quickly marched into northern Guangdong and captured Shaoguan, the hub of the Guangdong-Han railway, on October 7. The national army abandoned the city and fled south. This soldier spared no effort to protect the city, seizing 32 locomotives and 17 ordnance warehouses, cutting off the Guangzhou defenders' land retreat. The liberation of Shaoguan opened the door to northern Guangdong, and the main forces of the Four Fields marched along the railway to Guangzhou (liberated on October 14), accelerating the collapse of the Kuomintang regime in South China and laying the foundation for the subsequent Guangxi campaign to annihilate the remnants of Bai Chongxi.

On November 1, 1948, the Northeast Field Army launched a general offensive to liberate Shenyang. After the fall of Jinzhou and Changchun, the morale of Shenyang's 130,000 defenders collapsed. Encountering only weak resistance, the People's Liberation Army took over the city on November 2, captured Zhou Fucheng and other generals, and wiped out more than 130,000 enemies. This battle ended the Kuomintang's rule in the Northeast, seized a huge amount of military supplies, and became the first decisive regional battle of the Liberation War.

In November 1947, the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Field Army launched the Battle of Shijiazhuang under the command of Nie Rongzhen. The People's Liberation Army concentrated three columns and pioneered the "tunnel blasting and infantry and artillery coordination" tactics. After six days and nights of attack, they captured Shijiazhuang, the strategic hub of North China, on November 12, wiping out more than 24,000 enemy defenders. This battle was the first time that the People's Liberation Army captured a large city heavily fortified by the National Army, smashing the Kuomintang's attempt to divide the North China Liberated Area and connecting the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei and Shanxi-Hebei-Shandong-Henan Liberated Areas. Zhu De praised it as "an example of capturing a big city" and accumulated valuable experience for subsequent urban battles.

On March 13, 1948, the Northeast Field Army launched the Fourth Siping Battle. Lin Biao concentrated 100,000 troops to storm Chen Mingren's old garrison. After 23 hours of bloody battle, more than 19,000 people from the 71st Army of the Kuomintang and other units were wiped out, ending the two-year "four battles and four draws" tug-of-war. This battle was the first for the People's Liberation Army to use large-scale coordinated infantry and tank siege tactics (30 tanks were invested), which destroyed the national army's "permanent fortification group" and isolated the Changchun and Shenyang defenders. The liberation of Siping marked the change of offensive and defensive positions in the Northeastern battlefield, clearing the way for the decisive battle of Liaoshen three months later. Mao Zedong said that "the North Manchu Corridor will be open from now on."

In April 1950, the 15th Corps of the Fourth Field Army launched the Hainan Island Campaign. Han Xianchu commanded the 40th Army and the 43rd Army to cross the Qiongzhou Strait with wooden sailing boats, and landed under the support of the Qiongya column. On April 23, the People's Liberation Army launched a three-pronged attack on Haikou, annihilating more than 30,000 enemy troops, and capturing 5 warships and 4 aircraft. This battle shattered the Kuomintang's "Bering Line of Defense", ended Xue Yue's rule over Hainan, and the entire island was liberated on May 1. It was the People's Liberation Army's first successful cross-sea landing and accumulated experience for operations in the Taiwan Strait. Mao Zedong praised it as "the miracle of defeating warships with wooden ships."

In October 1945, the Shanxi-Hebei-Shandong-Henan Field Army launched the Handan Campaign (Ping-Han Campaign) under the command of Liu Bocheng and Deng Xiaoping. Facing the three Kuomintang armies advancing north along the Ping-Han Railway, the People's Liberation Army lured the enemy deep and set up an ambush south of Handan. After ten days of fierce fighting, more than 15,000 enemy troops were wiped out, prompting Gao Shuxun, deputy commander of the 11th Theater Command of the National Army, to lead an uprising of 10,000 troops on the battlefield. This battle shattered the Kuomintang's strategic attempt to open up transportation lines in North China, consolidated the core of the Shanxi-Hebei-Shandong-Henan liberated area, and won the key initiative for the CCP's strategic deployment in North China. It was hailed as "the first self-defense counterattack victory after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War."

In October 1949, the Fourth Field Army launched the Battle of Hengbao, targeting Hengyang, the core of Bai Chongxi's "Hunan-Guangdong Defense Line". Lin Biao made a three-pronged advance with an army of 450,000, and completed the strategic encirclement on October 8, annihilating all 47,000 troops including the elite 7th Army of the Guangxi Clan, and liberating Hengyang. This battle was the first example of the "big roundabout and big encirclement" tactic, which shattered the Kuomintang army's "Southwestern Joint Defense" plan and captured 402 artillery pieces and 176 cars. The liberation of Hengyang caused the remaining enemies in central China to collapse, clearing the way for the liberation of Guangzhou two weeks later. Mao Zedong telegraphed the commendation: "If you break through one point, the whole situation will be alive."

In September 1948, the East China Field Army launched the Jinan Campaign, concentrating 140,000 troops to attack the city and 180,000 troops to provide reinforcements. After eight days and nights of bloody fighting, on September 24, they captured the capital of Shandong Province, which was heavily garrisoned by 100,000 national troops, annihilated all the defending enemies (including an uprising of 20,000 people from the Ministry of Culture and Culture of Wu), and captured Wang Yaowu, commander of the Second Appeasement District. This battle was the first example of the People's Liberation Army "capturing a solidly fortified city", destroying the Kuomintang's "key defense" system, connecting the North China and East China liberated areas, and kicking off the strategic decisive battle. Mao Zedong praised it as "the first example of seizing a big city" and laid the foundation for the Huaihai Campaign.

In October 1948, the Northeast Field Army launched the key battle of the Liaoshen Campaign - the Jinzhou Attack Battle. Lin Biao concentrated 250,000 troops and after 31 hours of fierce fighting, on October 15, he captured Jinzhou, which was heavily garrisoned by 100,000 national troops. In this battle, the enemy was completely wiped out, and Fan Hanjie, the deputy commander-in-chief of the "Suppression General" in the Northeast, was captured, completely blocking the Northeast Army's land retreat, and forcing the Changchun defenders to revolt and surrender. The liberation of Jinzhou became a turning point in the Liaoshen Campaign, realizing Mao Zedong's strategy of "closing the door and beating the dogs" and laying the foundation for victory in the liberation of the entire Northeast.

In June 1948, the East China Field Army launched the first phase of the East Henan Campaign. Su Yu commanded the 3rd and 8th columns to storm Kaifeng, the capital of Henan Province. After five days and nights of bloody battles (June 17-22), he annihilated 39,000 enemies and captured provincial chairman Liu Maoen (who attempted to abscond in disguise). This battle was the first example of the People's Liberation Army conquering a provincial capital city. However, due to strategic needs, it voluntarily evacuated on June 26 to lure the enemy. The second liberation on October 24 completely ended the core of the Kuomintang's rule in the Central Plains. Mao Zedong's congratulatory message said that "the victory of Kaifeng will revive the whole Central Plains", opening the door for the decisive battle at Huaihai.

On March 24, 1950, the 62nd Army of the People's Liberation Army peacefully entered Kangding, ending the Kuomintang's rule over Xikang. On the basis of Liu Wenhui's uprising, the Tibetan-Han hub was conquered without a fight, and the people offered khatas to welcome them. This campaign accelerated the liberation of the entire territory of Xikang and opened up the main route to Tibet, becoming a successful practice of the Chinese Communist Party's ethnic policy in the border areas.

On December 9, 1949, Lu Han, chairman of the Yunnan Province of the Kuomintang, led an uprising and announced the peaceful liberation of Kunming. The Kuomintang's 8th Army and 26th Army counterattacked and attacked the city. The insurgent troops fought bloody battles with the Yunnan-Guangxi-Guizhou border column for six days and nights (the "Kunming Defense Battle") until the leading troops of the Second Field Army rushed to rescue the siege. On February 20, 1950, Chen Geng led the Fourth Corps to hold an entry ceremony and officially took over the important southwest border town. This battle shattered Chiang Kai-shek's "Southwestern Counterattack Base" plan, preserved the thousand-year-old city and the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway hub, and provided strategic support for the liberation of Tibet. It is known in history as "the red flag rolled three times, and the spring city changed to a new sky."

In February 1947, the East China Field Army launched the Laiwu Campaign under the command of Chen Yi and Su Yu. Adopting the tactic of "luring the enemy deep", he took the initiative to abandon Linyi and induced three armies (56,000 people) of the Kuomintang Li Xianzhou Group to march north to Laiwu. From February 20 to 23, the People's Liberation Army used the "Encirclement Three Ques One" strategy to ambush the enemy who broke through, annihilated the group in the mountainous area north of Laiwu, and captured Li Xianzhou, deputy commander of the Second Appeasement District. This battle shattered the Kuomintang's "North-South Pincer Attack" plan and set a record for the People's Liberation Army to wipe out five entire enemy divisions in a single battle, making the Shandong battlefield easier to attack and defend.

From August 21 to 26, 1949, the First Field Army stormed Lanzhou. After a bloody battle at Shenjialing, they broke through the Ma Jiajun defense line, annihilated 27,000 enemies, and defeated the main force of Qingma. The People's Liberation Army suffered more than 10,000 casualties in this battle, but it destroyed the last fortress of the Chinese army in the northwest and forced Ma Bufang to flee. Xining and Yinchuan were subsequently liberated, clearing the way for the peaceful liberation of Xinjiang and marking the end of the decisive battle in the Northwest.

In January 1949, the People's Liberation Army approached the walls of Peiping with 900,000 troops, and the Kuomintang guard Fu Zuoyi's 250,000 troops were in dire straits. In order to protect this thousand-year-old cultural capital from war, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China advocated peaceful liberation. Driven by military deterrence, the underground party instigation of Peking, and the promotion of democrats, Fu Zuoyi finally accepted the peace conditions and signed the "Agreement on the Peaceful Resolution of the Peking Issue" on January 21. Ten days later (January 31), the People's Liberation Army held a city entry ceremony and entered Peiping, achieving liberation without bloodshed. This move enabled the Forbidden City, Summer Palace and other precious heritage to be preserved intact, marking the successful end of the Peking-Tianjin Campaign and setting an example for peaceful liberation across the country.

On April 23, 1949, on the eastern battlefield of the Battle of Crossing the River, the 10th Corps of the Third Field Army (Ye Fei's Department) pursued the retreating Kuomintang army and liberated Changzhou without a single blow. This battle cut off the Shanghai-Nanjing Railway and formed a coordination with the liberation of Nanjing, encircling more than 50,000 enemies who fled south. Changzhou, as an important industrial and commercial town in southern Jiangsu, was peacefully taken over, with its factories and historic sites well preserved, providing a logistical fulcrum for the subsequent Shanghai Campaign, marking the successful advancement of the second phase of the Beijing-Shanghai-Hangzhou Campaign.

In December 1949, the main force of the Second Field Army and He Long's 18th Corps launched the Chengdu Campaign. Under the command of Liu Bocheng and Deng Xiaoping, three armies surrounded Hu Zongnan's group of 300,000 people. After a fierce battle in Longquan Mountain, they broke through the encirclement. On December 27, they completely wiped out the enemy and captured five regiment commanders. Hu Zongnan took the opportunity to escape. This battle annihilated the last main force of the Chinese army on the mainland, captured more than 200 tanks and armored vehicles, and 11 aircraft, ending the Kuomintang's rule in the southwest. The liberation of Chengdu marked the basic end of the war in mainland China. Mao Zedong called "the last battle on the mainland ended with a complete victory."

In October 1949, the 15th Corps of the Fourth Field Army launched the Guangdong Campaign. After annihilating Bai Chongxi's main force in the Battle of Hengbao, Si Ye quickly advanced southward along the Guangdong-Han Railway and captured Guangzhou, the largest city in South China, at dusk on the 14th. The Yu Hanmou Group of the National Army fled to Hainan, leaving only a small force to blow up the Haizhu Bridge but failed. This battle cut off the Kuomintang's "Hunan-Guangdong defense line" and captured 714 artillery pieces and 67 ships, thus protecting the economic lifeline of the south. The liberation of Guangzhou marked the end of the Nationalist Government's rule on the mainland (Li Zongren fled to Chongqing on October 12) and opened the prelude to the liberation of Hainan and Southwest China.

This book is a documentary literary work about Chinese law professor Chen Guangwei. Chen Guangwei was born in a war-torn era. He went through many hardships as a young man, and with the help of his teachers and friends, he completed his studies and was admitted to the Beijing Institute of Political Science and Law, the first political and legal institution of higher learning in New China. When he first entered society and was sent to work in the frontier for 22 years, he still built houses and bridges for the people with the "tile-knife spirit" and kept his faith. After being rehabilitated at the age of 50, he returned to the podium. Faced with the gap in China's economic law, he created the first economic law teaching system based on natural ecological protection, and promoted the national legal circles to jointly compile the first "Economic Law" textbook, laying the foundation for the rule of law in China's market economy. In his later years, he devoted himself to judicial practice and assisted case arbitration with his eloquence, and was known as the "arbitrator with special contribution". Throughout his life, he rose from adversity to pioneering the rule of law. He built the cornerstone of China's legal system with a "tile knife" and became a model for legal education and practice.

A piece of documentary literature that touches Italy, a stigmatized lower-class woman, a desperate escape, and a support of love at the cost of her life. She used an escape that shocked the whole country to resist the hunting of women in the era. Maria, the author of this book, is an abandoned baby who caused a sensation throughout Italy. Her parents abandoned her on a park lawn and then both committed suicide by jumping into a river. The incident attracted numerous media reports and set off a huge wave of public opinion. In just three days, relevant agencies received up to 50 adoption applications. But a question has always haunted Maria like a ghost: How could a mother abandon her child and commit suicide? Fifty years later, Maria returned to the place where her mother Lucia lived, collected various archival materials, and finally restored her mother's short but splendid life: she was forced to marry a man she did not love, endured domestic violence and abuse, but the law prohibited divorce, and escaping without permission would be punished.

"Red Star Shines on China" is a reportage written by American journalist Edgar Snow based on his interviews in the Yan'an Soviet Area. It is also the first documentary literature to report the activities of the Chinese Communist Party to the world. It has been a best-seller around the world since its publication. In June 1936, through the introduction of progressive figures such as Soong Ching Ling and Lu Xun, and with the help of the underground party of the Communist Party of China, Snow passed through numerous blockades and arrived in "Red China" in northern Shaanxi. Here he witnessed with his own eyes one of the few miracles in the practice of idealism in history: the successful Long March of the Red Army under the leadership of the Communist Party of China and the opening of the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Revolutionary Base Area. In the next more than 100 days, Snow traveled to Ansai, Baoan and other counties and towns, interviewed hundreds of Red Army generals and soldiers including Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai, Peng Dehuai, and used his own eyes and writing to record the legendary stories of this group of people who had experienced 25,000 miles of hardships: how they lived, how they fought, and how they rose up as a red force on the Loess Plateau, created a new world, and became the "light of hope" shining on ancient China. The main body of this book consists of twelve chapters, which mainly describe the fighting, study and life of the leaders of the Communist Party of China, Red Army generals, soldiers, farmers, herdsmen, workers, Communist Youth League members and Young Pioneers in the Soviet Area. The most important contents are Chapter 4 "The Origin of a Communist Party Member" and Chapter 5 "The Long March". "The Origin of a Communist" is Comrade Mao Zedong's only autobiography that was personally revised and narrated in the first person. It truly demonstrates the ideals, beliefs and magnanimity of the Chinese Communists. "The Long March" tells the entire process from the Red Army's failure in the fifth counter-encirclement and suppression campaign to the Red Army's victory in the Long March, including breaking through the four blockades, flying to seize the Luding Bridge, and crossing the snow-capped mountains and grasslands. It is not only the core of the entire work, but also the most exciting chapter in the history of the Chinese revolution. The author Snow uses a unique line drawing technique to vividly restore those passionate years for today's readers: from the heroic spirit of the leader to the simple faith of the soldiers, from the barren desolation of the Loess Plateau to the prosperity of the spiritual world of the revolutionaries. The book also predicts the turning point of China's destiny and the victory of the Communist Party twenty years in advance. This book is based on the 1968 English supplemented and revised edition of "Red Star Shines on China" as the translation base. For some obvious historical errors in the original work, corrections and supplementary annotations are also made with reference to relevant historical materials.
