Beijing: Foreign Language Press. 1959. Stock ID #169068 "For many centuries the Chinese people were exploited and oppressed by feudal rulers and with the coming of imperialists to China, their suffering was increased. But the Chinese people were never bought to their knees. They resisted unflinchingly and, especially in the latter period of China's semi-colonial and semi-feudal past, fought as one man under the leadership of the Chinese Communist Party to smash, in succession, the joint attacks by the imperialists and their lackeys, the landlords and the comprador and bureaucratic capitalists...Many of our foreign readers have asked for the publication of these stories, wishing to know the almost unbelievable hardships and difficulties the Chinese people encountered and how they ultimately overcame them all and won through to victory." - Taken from preface (i).
