The author’s comments: In order to understand China in all aspects, the Japanese sent many people into the hinterland of China to explore various resources. These spy people, dressed as tourists, explore our topography and look for various resources. Today, we are getting stronger and stronger, but we have to guard against these people, and we must be vigilant, so that the tragedy of the past cannot be repeated!
