The txt e-book of "Changjin Lake" can be downloaded for free. It introduces the Changjin Lake Campaign, which once took place on the Korean battlefield and changed the global landscape. During this campaign, the Chinese, wearing thin clothing, wielding rudimentary weapons, and starving, charged relentlessly in temperatures of minus thirty to forty degrees Celsius. They braved intense American bombings and dense gunfire, moving forward courageously as if they cared little about the heavy bloodshed and casualties. In these almost unbearable conditions that pushed human survival to its limits, the elite forces of China and the United States, namely the 9th Corps of the Chinese People's Volunteers and the U.S. 1st Marine Division, engaged in a war with a stark contrast in weaponry. This battle had already transcended the scope of conventional warfare, resembling more of a life-and-death struggle of willpower, making the Changjin Lake Campaign a significant turning point in the Korean War and forcing the U.S. military to experience its longest retreat in history. "Changjin Lake" is a novel based on this famous campaign. The author, with twenty years of research on the Korean War and interviews with surviving soldiers from the Changjin Lake Campaign, presents a panoramic and grand depiction of this earth-shaking and arduous war. As the first major literary work in Chinese literature about the Changjin Lake Campaign, "Changjin Lake" does not simply stand on historical grounds but instead stands on the perspective of humanity, praising the willpower and endurance of people in extremely difficult environments, conveying the belief in an invincible and powerful life.
