Respect to all national heroes
ON MONDAY, FOR THE FIRST TIME, MORE THAN 90 Kuomintang generals and other officers were listed among the 300 martyrs and heroic groups of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. The respect these people deserve for giving their lives in the fight against the invasion by Japanese forces has long been overdue.
History is history and all its truths should be revealed and accepted.
The contributions Kuomintang military forces made to winning that miserable war were a political taboo in the mainland during the middle of the last century when the yardstick of ultra-leftist ideology divided everything into black and white. There were not even any mentions of the important battles Kuomintang military forces fought against the invading Japanese army.
