Whampoa, known as China's West Point, is China's first modern military academy. It is a beacon of liberation and cradle to many revolutionaries. Many of its graduates have left the world.

To grasp and record the oral history told by the veterans, students from Nanjing University of Finance and Economics have been interviewing the veterans over the past three months. A documentary is being made based on those interviews.

Though aged from 89 to 100, the veterans still cherish fresh memories of the war they fought.
