Abstract
I was born in Sanchahe Town, Hanshan County, Anhui Province, a place that has been in existence as early as the Ming Dynasty. Located by the Yuxi River, the canal from Hefei to Wuhu, this place was once a prosperous port town.

The “Northeast Anti-Japanese United Army” is formerly known as the Northeast People’s Anti-Japanese Volunteer Army, the Northeast Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Army and the Northeast People’s Revolutionary Army. Its senior generals were mostly composed of members of the Chinese Communist Party. This army persevered in fighting against the Japanese army with armed resistance, making itself one of the predecessors of the People’s Liberation Army.
