On 8 October 1967, a Bolivian special forces surrounded the camp of che Guevara's guerrillas, and after some fighting, Che Guevara was unfortunately captured, and the captured Che Guevara was killed shortly after, and it was said that Che Guevara was a deserter from the guerrilla group who betrayed Che Guevara at that time.

Although Che Guevara was one of the leaders of the Cuban Revolution, he was an Argentine, born in 1928 in Rosario, Argentina, to a family that had lived in Argentina for 12 generations and whose family was a prestigious aristocratic family.

Che Guevara's initial ambition was to become a life-saving doctor, and in March 1953, at the age of 25, Che Guevara successfully graduated from the University of Buenos Aires with a medical degree.

Because of his superior family conditions, he liked to play everywhere during his studies, and in 1951, he and his friends went on a free trip to South America, which made him realize that the people of Latin America were still living in poverty and suffering, and the seeds of revolution gradually sprouted in his heart.

A month after graduating from Guevara University, on July 7, 1953, he set foot on Latin American soil again, and when Guevara arrived in Guatemala, he had close contacts with the local leftists.

While in Guatemala, Guevara met his first wife, Ilda Gadella, a female revolutionary from Peru who was serving Guatemala's left-wing president, Abens.

Because the series of reforms being carried out by the left-wing government in Guatemala touched the interests of the United States, under the planning of the CIA, the Albans regime was subverted by the American-backed Armas, and Abbons immediately after coming to power carried out a great purge of leftists in the country, many friends around Guevara were sacrificed in this great purge, and he himself was targeted by the CIA.

After witnessing the brutal repression in Guatemala, Che Guevara understood that he could not save more people by his own medical skills, and that only by launching a revolution to overthrow all authoritarian governments could people truly live happily ever after.

After leaving Guatemala, Guevara moved to Mexico City, Mexico, where he met the Castro brothers in Mexico City in 1955 and began his life leading the revolution.

Together with the Castro brothers, he overthrew the Dictatorship of Cuba and established a socialist Republic of Cuba, after which Che Guevara was granted Cuban citizenship and held many important official positions in the Cuban government.

Between 1964 and 1965, Guevara visited eight African countries and the People's Republic of China, and when Guevara visited China, he met his idol, Chairman Mao.

When the Chinese delegation visited Cuba in 1963, Che Guevara had said to the Chinese delegation that he would often take out Chairman Mao's books to study, and that his guerrilla warfare was like a primary school student in front of Chairman Mao, and that Chairman Mao was a true master of guerrilla warfare.

From the photo, you can see that when Che Guevara met Chairman Mao, his attitude was very humble, just like a student meeting with a teacher, and Chairman Mao also welcomed Che Guevara and others.

After his visit, Che Guevara returned to Cuba, and although he was already a high-ranking Cuban official, he could not forget the people of the Third World who were still living under the dictatorship, and on April 1, 1965, Guevara left Cuba by plane for the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) after resigning his position in Cuba.

Che Guevara led the revolution in the Congo for 7 months, but in the end it failed, and Guevara recorded in his diary: the local revolutionary organizations in Africa were a ragtag group of people who were undisciplined and internally strife, which led to the defeat of the final revolution.

After the failure of the African-led revolution, he came to Bolivia in 1966, when the president of Bolivia learned of Che Guevara's arrival, he ordered the army to kill Che Guevara.

Guevara saw Bolivia's government army as an undertrained and poorly equipped army, and he was confident in his revolution in Bolivia.

What he did not expect was that the U.S. government had also sent a special force to Bolivia and had provided training and equipment to the Bolivian army.

On October 8, 1967, Guevara was unfortunately arrested by Bolivian special forces because of an order from the President of Bolivia, and Che Guevara was killed shortly after.

After Che Guevara's remains were transported back to Cuba, the Cuban government held a solemn memorial service and burial ceremony for him, and on October 14, 1997, Guevara's remains were transferred to Santa Clara, where he had fought before his death, and hundreds of thousands of people spontaneously rushed to the place where the hearse passed to see Guevara off.
