These documents offer rich insights into the political endeavors and military mobility of women. Guo analyzes Bingying Xie\u27s 1928 war diary about the Chinese nationalists\u27 northern expedition, Langi Hu\u27s 1937 book about anti-Japanese activism, and Lang Bai\u27s 1939 reportage about the Sino-Japanese War and argues that these texts allow women to reconfigure the discourse of nation through experimental life writing in order to develop the genre with tales of valor, hope, struggle, and heroism.
