The guards of the republic are a special group of people with the important mission of defending the leaders. They need to have not only a sharp mind and superb skills, but also be ready to pay their lives at any time. The book A True Record of the Republic Guards (published by China Contemporary Publishing House, written by Sun Guo) selects major events that happened on the security front of the republic, such as the internal security work during the Founding Ceremony, the Blackwater anti-bandit operation, the transfer of ten thousand prisoners, and the defense of the APEC Conference. It truthfully records the little-known security work behind many major historical events.
