[edit] BlueShirts
Hello all, my name is BlueShirts and I currently work for a research laboratory studying neurodegenerative diseases. One of my favorite hobbies is reading various topics on history and subsequently I would like to edit in this field. To me the most interesting historical period is the formation of modern China. I frame it from the periods preceding the Opium War to the Xinhai Revolution, from the era of warlords to the Northern Expedition, and from the Second Sino-Japanese War to the conclusion of the Chinese Civil War. In just a little over a century or so of time, hundreds of millions bled and died in foreign wars and civil strifes, and for better or worse, China emerged from a feudal empire to a split republic. This fact has me in awe and wonder, as I realize that modern Chinese history is probably the most tumultous, violent, tragic, and triumphant (in no particular order) period of human story ever known to mankind, yet it is the least understood and the most overlooked. Thus, I hope that I can address some of this issue through Wikipedia, by making substantial contributions to various articles. Of course I need to dig into some books so that they are as neutral and factually-correct as possible. I am a supporter of the Republic of China, but I am not going to shy away from its failures and missed opportunities. I believe that one can only move forward by looking back carefully and clearly. Hence it is important to present history, no matter how bloody and unsightly, in its truest form.

[edit] Second Sino-Japanese War
Why I am fascinated by the Second Sino-Japanese War
The first project I have undertaken is the Second Sino-Japanese War. I would like to contribute more on the history of the war, particularly on conduct of the National Revolutionary Army led by the Nationalist Government of Kuomintang. Except for some exceptions, literature on the Second Sino-Japanese War tend to be overly partisan or ideologically-driven, until rather recently. On the one hand you have propaganda works from the PRC (mainland) that exceedingly inflate the role of the communists, and on the other end you have books from the ROC (Taiwan) stating that everything Chiang Kai-shek has done was absolutely correct by the virtue of his infinite wisdom. And of course most Western sources tend to overlook or dismiss China's eight years' war of resistance, even though Western Europe surrendered in six weeks with minimal casualties. However, good sources are still available out there, and I would say, based on my experience, articles from eminent journals like The China Quarterly are mostly impartial and well sourced. Also, more recent works, from both the West and Taiwan, are rather neutral and reliable as they are a lot less tainted by liberal orthodoxy (in the West) or state ideology (in Taiwan) than before. However, publications from mainland China, unfortunately, still need much, much effort.
[edit] Quotes
「和平未到絕望時期，決不放棄和平，犧牲未到最後關頭，亦不輕言犧牲。但是一旦最後關頭來臨，中國將會絕對犧牲到底，地無分南北，年無分老幼，無論何人，皆有守土抗戰之責任，皆應抱定犧牲一切的決心，縱使戰到一槍一兵，中國也絕不停止抗戰」。
「各地戰士，聞義赴難，朝命夕至，其在前線以血肉之軀，築成壕塹，有死無退，陣地化為灰燼，軍心仍堅如鐵石，陷陣之勇，死事之烈，實足以昭示民族獨立之精神，奠定中華復興之基礎」。
