Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.

Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain

Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
The Kuomintang retreat to Taiwan in 1949 refers to the retreat of Kuomintang (KMT, Chinese Nationalist Party) officers and approximately 2 million troops to the island of Taiwan in December 1949 at the end of the Chinese Civil War. Troops mostly fled to Taiwan from provinces in southern China, including Sichuan Province, where the last stand of the KMT main army took place. The flight to Taiwan took place over four months after Mao Zedong had proclaimed the founding of the People's Republic of China in Beijing on October 1, 1949.
