Why was there no mention of China's war against Vietnam in the history books?

The war between China and Vietnam was a part of history, but it was usually not described in detail in history textbooks. This was because the war took place in the 20th century, and history textbooks usually had to follow certain historical backgrounds and political standards to ensure the accuracy and continuity of their content. Although the war was an important historical event, its scale and influence exceeded the scope of traditional history textbooks, so it might not be completely covered in textbooks. In addition, due to the long history of the war, the relevant historical information and records were more scattered and diverse, which would also affect the compilation of history textbooks. Therefore, although the war between China and Vietnam was a part of history, it might not be completely described in traditional textbooks. It needed to be studied and discussed more deeply according to different historical periods and historical backgrounds.

There could be. Writers often incorporate unique and unexpected elements into their war novels. Cherries could be used in a metaphorical sense, perhaps to symbolize the innocence lost during the Vietnam War. But it's not a common or well - known trope in all Vietnam War - related novels.

The Chinese Expeditionary Force referred to an army sent by the Chinese National Government to Southeast Asia to fight the Japanese army during the Anti-Japanese War. At that time, the border area between China and Myanmar was occupied by the Japanese army, so the mission of the Chinese Expeditionary Force to fight in Myanmar was very urgent and important. However, due to the political instability of the Chinese National Government and the corruption within the army, the Chinese Expeditionary Force's combat operations in Myanmar were greatly hindered and finally achieved a very difficult victory. However, due to the fact that the Chinese Expeditionary Force's combat operations in Myanmar did not receive enough attention, the descriptions of the troops in history books were relatively simple and did not involve their combat operations and victory results. In addition, since the Chinese Expeditionary Force's operations in Myanmar were carried out between 1942 and 1945, and the compilation of history books during this period had already begun, it was also possible that the deeds of the army were not recorded in the history books.

There are many powerful stories in Vietnam War books. Some focus on the experiences of soldiers on the front lines, like the harrowing tales of combat, facing the enemy in the thick jungles. Others might tell of the civilians caught in the middle, their lives disrupted by the war.

The main themes usually include anti-war sentiment, criticism of violence and the human cost of conflict.

Fantasy novels often involved myths and legends, magic, and fantasy elements. These elements had corresponding concepts and legends in the culture and history of many countries, such as China's Taoism, Confucianism, Buddhism, and other thoughts and cultures, as well as the myths and religions of India, Greece, and other places. In these novels, many authors would use these cultural elements to create fictional worlds and characters. The fictional worlds often had their own historical and cultural backgrounds, including various myths and legends. Therefore, in fantasy novels, there would often be various cultural elements from different countries and regions, including Chinese cultural elements such as Huaxia, dragons, myths, etc. Although China occupied a very important position in many fantasy novels, it did not mean that all fantasy novels would involve Chinese elements. Many authors might just use the concept of Chinese elements, but it did not mean that all fantasy novels were related to China.

The answer to whether China could make a Vietnam War movie about the Chinese prisoners of war was a definite. During the Vietnam War, Chinese soldiers and civilians also participated in the battle and many of them became captives. Due to the historical and cultural differences between China and Vietnam, the plight of these captives could be better presented in the film. By describing their experiences and mental journey, the audience could better understand the lives and fates of these people. However, when making this movie, one had to pay attention to respecting history and historical facts to avoid exaggerating or distorting the true situation of the war. At the same time, it was also necessary to take into account that the content presented in the film might cause some controversy or unnecessary controversy, so it needed to be carefully considered and balanced during the production process.

One of the best is 'The Things They Carried' by Tim O'Brien. It's a collection of short stories that really gives you a sense of the soldiers' experiences, both on the battlefield and in their minds.
