The Rise and Fall of the Guangxi Clique

This epic historical novel centers on the rise and fall of the New Guangxi Clique, focusing on the 'Three Heroes of Guangxi'—Li Zongren, Bai Chongxi, and Huang Shaohong. It panoramically recreates the twenty-five years of dramatic changes in Guangxi, from warlord conflicts to the construction of a model province, from the Northern Expedition to the War of Resistance against Japan, and from the Chinese Civil War to the liberation in 1949. Based on real history with vivid details, the novel not only depicts the political maneuvers of the Guangxi warlords but also delves into the arduous struggles of Guangxi Communists under the White Terror. From the establishment of the first party branch in Wuxuan Dongxiang, to the heroic sacrifice of Su Man, Luo Wenkun, and Zhang Haiping in the Guilin 'July 9' Incident; from Huang Zhang shouting 'Long live the Communist Party' before his execution in the Southeastern Guangxi Anti-Japanese Armed Uprising, to the Tianma Transport Station holding out behind enemy lines for four years—the red flag never fell, and faith never died.
