Bill-Borg said Fascinating. Interesting account of a part of world history that isn't accounted for in popular culture. I couldn't put it down.
Here the reader will find a certain Chinese point-of-view on some events of the twentieth century that changed the world. His illustrated reports were widely distributed to educate and encourage the troops, local folks, and peasants, most of whom were illiterate. Huzi was born into poverty, when warlords were fighting civil wars, Japanese bombing civilians, and militias loyal to Chang Kai-shek conducting summary executions of suspected communists. The Kindle Huzi Collection provides selections from the book Huzi: The True Story of a Boy Artist Growing Up in the Communist Army, about Cao Zhenfeng (1926-2006), nicknamed Huzi. Finally, when Huzi was twenty-seven, 1953, he “retired” from the combat army. This Kindle volume tells of his first year after joining the Communist Army – hardships, training, being bombed, and art.. The book ends there – he went on to become an authority on Chinese folk art, and a Deputy Director of China’s National Art Museum. He had many adventures, and some narrow escapes. At twelve, he joined the communist Eighth Route Army, “to fight the Japanese and save China.” He could draw, and read and write, which was rare in those days, and so he served as a pictorial-journalist at the front lines of three wars: the Anti-Japanese War, China’s Civil War, and the Korean War
