The life of Liu's characters

In April 1992, 1 1, the Los Angeles World Journal published a news. In the lobby of Carlton Hotel, British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher held the hand of 93-year-old China anti-Japanese general Liu, thanking him again and again for his feat of rescuing British troops in yenangyaung, Myanmar 50 years ago. On April 20th, the 50th anniversary of yenangyaung's victory, California Governor Peter Wilson wrote to the general: "I am very happy to celebrate with you the victory of Myanmar yenangyaung in World War II. I know that you witnessed the great war and have a deep memory of this history 50 years ago. Only enthusiastic and loyal people can lead the way to win in the battle, or take part in the battle at all costs. You have proved your outstanding talent. As the head of the Chinese Expeditionary Force 1 13, you are faced with an arduous battle to rescue British troops, American journalists and missionaries. Although you lost a third of your troops, you and your officers and men defeated the enemy and completed the task. Your bravery has contributed to the success of this movement. " Dean Barna, Speaker of the Los Angeles Parliament, also congratulated the General on the same day.

On June 10, British Defense Secretary Malcolm Rifshed wrote to the general: "This year marks the 50th anniversary of the Battle of yenangyaung, and I would like to express my sincere thanks to you and your officers and men for their support to the British army." On July 27th, US President Bush also wrote to the old general: "On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of yenangyaung's victory, on behalf of the country, I would like to thank you again for your heroic actions in rescuing 500 American journalists, missionaries and thousands of British troops." Faced with such an honor, the old general Liu just smiled indifferently and said, "That is a friendly army fighting side by side. Friendly forces are in danger, so help is needed. Can't be counted as a victory. " Liu, an old general, said nothing about the huge injustice he suffered for half a century for various complicated reasons.

However, history is just. Liu, a true national hero, has won social recognition and public love. Half a century later, the Taiwan Province provincial authorities re-awarded the first-class medal of the army, navy and air force to the old general.

Liu Yuan, the head of the new 38th Division of the Chinese Expeditionary Force 1 13, galloped on the battlefield of China, Myanmar and India, and won a great victory in yenangyaung, making the Japanese invaders tremble with fear. Due to various historical reasons, mainly because of the "fake general" Lin's bluff, this real anti-Japanese hero was wronged for many years, and it took half a century before the truth came out. Why did it take half a century for this medal of merit to reach the general? Things have to start with the Qing dynasty war in yenangyaung, Myanmar.
