I don't think Guangzhou was the last mainland city to be "liberated," on Oct 14. The PLA did not enter Chengdu until Christmas Eve, shortly after Hu Tsung-nan fled to Taiwan. See Skinner's Rural China on the Eve of Revolution (full disclosure: I edited that book). Interesting that Skinner, having learned really fluent spoken Chinese in Sichuan, spells the general's name Fu Tsung-lan.
Yes, that’s a fair observation. Good point
