Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi are called "Li Bai". The two men are the core of the Guangxi clique, the most powerful local military force in the Kuomintang, and have worked closely together for many years. Bai Chongxi is a warrior, resourceful and has an amazing memory. He is good at capturing battlefield information. Among the Kuomintang generals, he is known as "Little Zhuge", "Modern Zhuge", "White Fox", "Contemporary Sean" and "Modern First Handsome Soldier". His outstanding military talents are valued by famous scholars in China, and even the Japanese call him "God of War". He is one of the few generals in the national army who can be praised by the enemy. But Bai Chongxi thinks too highly of himself, is politically shrewd and short-sighted, and can't know people. After the Northern Expedition, the old generals such as Li Mingrui and Yu Zuoyu were suppressed, and their favorite upstarts such as Hu Zongduo and Tao Jun were promoted. As a result, Chiang Kai-shek was divided and the fourth army was destroyed. During our stay in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, we lost and won against the Japanese. After three years of civil war, he defeated Lin Biao in Siping and was deadlocked with Liu Bocheng. After the People's Liberation Army crossed the river, the main force was surrounded by Lin Biao with several times its own troops, and finally it was defeated.
Bai Chongxi and Li Zongren are fellow villagers in the same county, and Huang are classmates. The super political strategy of "Li Bai" and Huang made the glory of the new Guangxi system from Zhennanguan to Shanhaiguan. Their division also contributed to the decline of the new Guangxi system. The failure of harnessing the river and the loss of the army made Bai Chongxi know that he was ill-fated to go to Taiwan Province Province, but he went to Taiwan Province to take the blame with loyalty and political accountability, and eventually died of depression. He opposed bureaucracy, beat and scolded foot soldiers, advocated hard work, banned gambling and opposed bad hobbies. He is relatively self-disciplined in the Kuomintang ruling class.
