"The Chinese people have risen to their feet," said 98-year-old Zhou Guangyuan, the only surviving veteran of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression in Dongkou County, China's Hunan Province. In 1945, Zhou took part in the Battle of West Hunan with his unit. His mission was to safeguard a three-member U.S. military advisory team, tasked with directing Allied aircraft to strike Japanese positions with precision.
