"Message to Young Compatriots nationwide in 1944" written by Li Jin-cheng, honorable mention. President Chiang Kai-shek’s "Letter to Compatriots All Over the Country" published in 1944 shows that China's foreign troubles for thousands of years had been caused by its own weakness. As long as one is spiritually wealthy, the material deficiencies can be overcome. At that time, China and Japan had been at war for a long time, the country was trapped and the people were tired. President Chiang Kai-shek called for "one inch of blood for one inch of mountains and rivers, one hundred thousand youth for one hundred thousand soldiers". Appealing to the country's compatriots with "The country is regarded as civilized, and its citizens regarded as fighters. The obligation to perform military service is of the most glorious vocation.".
