Tears of the Abandoned Army in the Golden Triangle: The Life and Death of the Anti-Communist National Salvation Army

The Golden Triangle, located at the borders of Thailand, Myanmar, and Laos, was originally named for its rich resources but later became a notorious hub for drug trafficking. In 1949, a segment of the Nationalist Army retreated into the region, forming the Yunnan Anti-Communist National Salvation Army under the leadership of General Li Mi, holding their ground in a foreign land for nearly 30 years. *The Bloody History of the Golden Triangle National Army* and *Juancun Magazine* document this little-known history. Although several groups of spirits have been returned to Taiwan for enshrinement in recent years, many nameless heroic souls and their descendants remain scattered in the region, facing a situation that warrants serious concern.
