In this photo taken July 23, 2015, a calendar commemorating the 70th anniversary of the end of World War II hangs on the wall of the apartment of veteran nurse Zhang Cuiping, 89, in Beijing. Veterans such as Zhang have long found themselves on the wrong side of the Communist historical narrative. Their service with the Nationalists led to imprisonment, persecution and often death in the years after the 1949 communist revolution. (AP Photo/Mark Schiefelbein)
