It will be too emotional for me to watch.

since many of my relatives fought the domestic battles from 1946 to 1949.

I heard many personal stories about the period growing up in Taiwan.

such as at Xia Men, there were 150,000 nationalist troops waiting for ships to retreat to Taiwan, the ships never came, so they surrendered to communist troops of 1500 men.

3 regiments of communists landed on Jin Men, they were defeated on oct, 1949.

thus the security of Taiwan was "assured".

Nan Jing was evacuted, a light infantry scout column moved across the longest river, and took over the Presidential Hall with no resistence.

--

Shang Hai was supposed to be defended for 6 months. 10 days of conflicts on the outskirts, the troops were withdrawn, except one army. the survived soldiers complained that no withdrawal orders for them. General Tang Eng Bo was only criticised in Taiwan. He passed away in Japan.
