"Dare to Die" corps
A member of the "Dare to Die" corps is preforming an suicide attack during the Chinese stage of WWII, also known as the Second Sino-Japanese War. Suicide attacks among the Chinese were common as just like the Japanese had a sense of martyrdom that has its roots by the Tongmenghui and the Kuomintang party during the Xinhai Revolution, Northern Expedition, and eventually the Second Sino-Japanese War.
The Dare To Die Corps were volunteers who were willing to give up their lives for the sake of retrieving martyrdom. They mostly got better food, were better payed (The money goes to the famillies) and got respect from their fellow comrades.
These suicide squads had a long history that extended beyond the Second Sino-Japanese War. Revolutionaries of the Tongmenghui who died in attempts to overthrow the Qing dynasty were recognized as martyr's by the Republic of China after the Xinhai Revolution.
During the Xinhai Revolution , many Chinese revolutionaries became martyrs in battle. "Dare to Die" student corps were founded, for student revolutionaries wanting to fight against rulling Qing dynasty. Sun Yatsen promoted the Dare to Die corps. During the revolution, suicide squads were formed by Chinese students going into battle, knowing that they would die fighting against overwhelming odds.
"Dare to Die" corps continued to be used in the Chinese military. The Kuomintang used one to put down an insurrection in Canton. Many women joined them in addition to men to achieve martyrdom against China's opponents.
The Kuomintang continued to promote the concept of martyrdom, the souls of Party martyrs who died fighting for the Kuomintang and the revolution and the party founder Dr. Sun Yatsen were sent to heaven according to the Kuomintang party. Chiang Kai-shek believed that these martyrs witnessed events on earth from heaven and he called on them for help.
Coolies against the Communist takeover formed "Dare to Die Corps" to fight for their organizations, with their lives.
During the Tianamen Square Incident of 1989, protesting students also formed "Dare to Die Corps", to risk their lives defending the protest leaders.
The Dare To Die Corps also made an apperance in my brickfilm about the Second Sino-Japanese War, where Chinese soldiers were running under a tank and blew themselves up, despide these actions were more associated with the Japanese as they began to lost the war. The Chinese also preformed these attacks.
This scene did not made it into the final project, because I had to cut it out.
