For many people, the Zhijiang Dong autonomous county(自治县), Huaihua city, in Central China’s Hunan province is famous for its role in China’s War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression(1937-45) and World War II.

Located in the west of Hunan, the county is close to the border with Guizhou province,

and is a well-known transportation hub(中心;中枢). It also acted as important military base(军事基地) in the fight against the Japanese.

Zhijiang was the home of the American Volunteer Group, or “Flying Tigers”: the

legendary squadron(空军中队) of pilots from the United States that helped the Chinese forces fight the occupiers(侵略者), and made an impressive contribution to the ultimate(最终的) victory. It was also the first place where representatives(有代表性的) of the Japanese Imperial Army signed a document of unconditional surrender(无条件投降) to China.

The surrender was signed on Aug 21,1945, about three weeks before Yasuji Okamura, the commander-in-chief of Japan’s China Expeditionary Army, signed the Japanese Instrument of Surrender in Nanjing on Sep.9.

“Japan’s surrender in Zhijiang marked the first time in the modern era that Japan was

presented as the loser in a war with China.” said Wu Jianhong, curator(馆长) of the

county’s Memorial Hall of the Victory over Japan.

Chores were not popular at my house.My children didn’t like to do chores.They always saw me do

chores, but they hardly ever helped me do them.

A year ago, I made a game called “The Endless Chore Game”.It’s really great.Here’s how the game works.

I made a card with forty squares (方框 ) and I write a different chore on each square.These chores can be easy and interesting like making dessert.Then my family roll the dice 骰子 to decide what chores we have to do.The card also has a few squares with fun things, like watching TV and singing.If you are lucky, you can watch TV when the others are doing the chores.

My son likes the game very much.He goes to the kitchen happily every morning to do the game.It is really a good way to make my children do chores.You can have a try if you have the same problem with me.
