Ji Tingxie

Ji Tingxie was a key figure in the anti-Japanese resistance during the Second Sino-Japanese War. He was instrumental in the formation of the National Anti-Japanese Army, leading a daring raid on the 'Gongdelin' prison in Beijing, which resulted in the rescue of over 500 political prisoners. His actions not only bolstered the morale of the resistance movement but also established him as a prominent leader within the ranks of the Chinese military, eventually rising to the rank of major general.
