Dear Brother Zuren, I hope you are well. The battle in Taiyuan has begun, and the situation is quite intense. Our troops are engaged in fierce combat with the enemy, but we are prepared to fight with determination and courage. I want you to know that I am doing everything I can to protect our homeland and our people. It is my honor to serve in this great fight for freedom and justice. The responsibility weighs heavily on my shoulders, but I am determined to lead our troops to victory. Please take care of yourself and the family in my absence. Tell them that I miss them deeply and think of them every day. Give my regards to our parents and assure them that I am fighting for a better future for all of us. Stay strong, my dear brother, and pray for our success. I will write again when I can. With love and best wishes, General Zuoyi
