Anti Caves Communist Hills Practice Sino Students University Loess Yanan
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a group of students from the Anti-Japanese Political and Military University in action during a surprise attack drill, held at their campus in Yan'an, the Chinese Communist capital, between 1937 and 1945. The University was established during the Second Sino-Japanese War to train soldiers and political cadres in guerrilla warfare and revolutionary tactics. The rugged Loess-hills, with their distinctive caves used as dwellings, form a stark backdrop to the scene. The students, dressed in military uniforms and armed with rifles, are focused intently on their mission, their determined expressions reflecting the intense training they underwent to resist Japanese invasion. The historical significance of this image lies in its portrayal of the resilience and commitment of the Chinese Communist forces during a pivotal period in Chinese history. The University, also known as Kangda, played a crucial role in shaping the future leadership of the Chinese Communist Party and the People's Liberation Army.
