Who will you side with?Communist PRC or Republic Of China in Taiwan?

The Whites WW2 heroes were decorated and remembered but Chinese war heroes who fought, risked or gave their lives for the freedom of China were not honored and forgotten by their own peoples. Many nationalist soldiers who fought in WW2 lived the rest of their life in Taiwan, faraway from their mainland home.

Hau Pei Tsun is the few surviving KMT officer during Sino-Japan war today, he is 90 yrs old. The last KMT army-level commander to pass away was Sun Yuanliang in 2007.

sideswipe, you watch this.

The Russians are really chess bastards. They backed CCP to hide and run here and there to let KMT fight the Japanese. Then in mid 1945 when Japan was at the brink of sure defeat, the Russians declared war on Japan and invaded Japanese-held Manchuria for a sure-win bargaining chip in post-war settlements. Following the Japanese surrender, USSR backed CCP in all out civil war against ROC, again in a calculated sure win scenario with the depleted and shagged ROC troops, combined with propaganda to the ignorant peasants that CCP fought the Japs but ROC let the Japs massacred them.

USSR could hold down most of US best troops in the Iron Curtain cold war stand-off. CCP rode that advantage well and kicked KMT/ROC to Taiwan, where it was the furthest CCP (even backed by USSR) could go given the overwhelming US naval superiority. Pitiful were those KMT soldiers who suffered on Burma front, got trapped and couldn't return to China after the ROC defeat. They lived and died there as second class citizens (non-Burmese natives) even after sacrificing their youths and primes at war to free China.

異域 [A Home Too Far] 1990
An obscure cinematic treasure.

Wang Jie song 家,太远了 was perfectly suited for the movie.
