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.

There was a man who had a little son. He loved him very much. Every day after work the man would come home and play with the little boy.

When the man came home from work one night, he found that he had some extra work to do. And he wasn’t able to play with his little son. He wanted to give the boy something to keep him busy. So, looking around his study, he saw a magazine with a large map of the world on the cover. He got an idea. He patiently tore the map up into pieces. Then he led his son into the dining room and spread the pieces on the table. He explained to the boy that it was a map of the world. He told the boy to put it back together and they could play together when he finished. Surely this could keep the child busy for hours, he thought.

After about thirty minutes, the boy came to the man and said, “Okay, it’s finished, Dad. Can we play now?”
