The document reports that former “enemy soldier” Dong Shuxiang, once part of a Kuomintang-affiliated force, was captured during the Battle of Taiyuan, re-educated, and subsequently enlisted in the People’s Liberation Army, earning the title of “People’s Liberation Soldier.” The letter instructs the local authorities to grant his family the same benefits as those of revolutionary soldiers and to award them an “Honor for Military Service” plaque. Well-preserved and highly significant, this document offers valuable insight into the PLA’s reeducation and propaganda practices during the final phase of the Chinese Civil War.
