Morning March 4, 1950, Zhang Dingzhong, chief of the Third Security Section of the Political Department, North China Military Region of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, stepped into the security office of the North China Military-Political University. He was going to perform a formidable task, to dictate a death judgment issued by the Military Law Section to a special man. This man soon came in in military uniform and cap. His face had a pale look with vigor lingering and a beard unshaven for months. In the room were a dozen of people, all of whom were young soldiers from the security force of the University. Their wide open, young and innocent eyes were fixed on this approaching man. They could not fully understand what was happening here, only knowing that this man was a divisional cadre. | Video Jin-Cha-Ji Pictorial

Despite the unfamiliarity with the process of the war, Jullien still showed in his editing his feeling and understanding towards these outstanding works. |

Sha Fei: A Grain of Sand Dancing Free in the Sky of Motherland By Gao Hua The ending of Sha Fei’s life was indeed tragic. The clock of his life ceased ticking at his 38. His departure right on the verge of the revolution triumph deprived him of the chance of becoming a cadre, which seemed to be a pity；this could be nothing, however, because Sha Fei thus remained forever a man true to himself. |
