Photo taken on Sept. 11, 2015 shows Jin Honglin, a 98-year-old receiver of the commemorative medal of the 70th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and a veteran of the Volunteer Corps of Tiantai County, in east China's Zhejiang Province. Jin joined the corps and fought against Japanese invading troops in Zhejiang. He retired after the war as a private and returned home to be a farmer. In the summer of 1939, Japanese invading troops attacked coastal areas of Zhejiang. In the context of the second cooperation between the Kuomintang (KMT) and the Communist Party of China (CPC) to unite efforts to save the nation, a local CPC committee assisted the government in formulating a plan and mobilized the locals to join the army in a wartime political work team. A volunteer corps of 1,353 soldiers was formed in 40 days to fight against the Japanese invaders. Most of the soldiers gave their lives for the country, making the corps a miniature and outstanding representative of the Chinese People's War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression.
