This document – the official death notice for Sichuan soldier Zhang Pengyun – tells a story of great sacrifice. He fell in the heroic Defense of Teng County in 1938, a pivotal battle that shaped China's eventual victory at Taierzhuang. The sacrifice of Zhang Pengyun and his comrades slowed the southward advance of tens of thousands of Japanese elite troops, paving the way for a decisive triumph.

Peace is built on memory. Does your family have a story of courage and survival in World War II? Share it with CGTN's global campaign, "Echoes of History: Our WWII Memories," and help keep personal histories alive for the world to hold on to.
