About This Novel
The original novel of the TV series "Battle of Changsha" of the same name, starring Huo Jianhua and Yang Zi. In the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, after the Japanese captured Wuhan, they marched southward, leaving Changsha in danger. Faced with the sudden war, people in the city were panicked, and many people fled south and west with their families. Xue Junshan, the grandson-in-law of the Hu family, tried his best to arrange the retreat of Hu Xiangxiang and Hu Xiaoman, the most beloved twins of the Hu family. Xiangxiang was entrusted to Gu Qingming, a talented soldier who had returned from studying abroad. Unexpectedly, Xiangxiang and Qingming, who had been arrogant since childhood, were incompatible with each other, so Xue Junshan had to find another family. With the efforts of the whole family, they finally arranged a marriage for Xiangxiang before the war reached Changsha City, which finally solved all the worries. At this time, the Changsha garrison headquarters secretly ordered the burning of Changsha City. Due to a command error, the fire burned for three days and three nights. The thousand-year-old city was destroyed in one fell swoop. Thousands of people died in their sleep, including Xiangxiang's fiancée and his family. Heroes from all over the country came one after another, and Gu Qingming and Hu Xiangxiang vowed to defend this ancient city with their flesh and blood.

When I was reading a review of the drama, I accidentally saw a sentence: "Hu Xiangxiang taught Gu Qingming what home is, and Gu Qingming taught Hu Xiangxiang what country is." I got excited and read the original work. There were many changes. After reading it, I felt as sad and depressed as ever.
Hu Xiangxiang and Gu Qingming's "love" in chaos
Zhan Changsha is very beautiful, but as some comments said, it always feels like it is missing something. Some people say it is unique and lacks the unique customs and customs of Changsha. I don't think so, because Hunan girls are already the most prominent feature of Changsha. So what is missing, I think it should be "love". What kind of love is it? It's not family love. The Hu family has family love, but it's not patriotism. There are many patriotic people like "brother-in-law" in the book. Only the relationship between the two protagonists makes me wonder whether they are really in love. Gu Changqing is a very real and realistic character. He despised the Hu family who were inconsistent with his identity, and also hated the rude, vulgar and shrewd Hu Xiangxiang. He told Xiangxiang that he would never let her down. However, he could not tolerate her. What does this reflect? Maybe there is no so-called love between the two, only responsibilities. Maybe there was a good impression between the two, but there was no love. Would a man and a woman in love be as cold and distant as Gu Changqing and Hu Xiangxiang? I'm afraid not. The gap between Gu and Hu lies not only in the status and environment of the two families, but also in themselves. There is a mutual affection but no real intimacy. This type of relationship is not about lovers but husband and wife. The biggest difference between couples and lovers is that you don't have to be a couple, you just muddle along. A couple can have two people who love each other and live a loving life together, or they can have two people who don't love each other and live a life together. Gu Changqing didn't break off the engagement because he and Hu Xiangxiang were getting along, so it couldn't be said that he was in love. Saying no, love is difficult, it doesn't matter whether the two are in love or not. What I want is 521 today, I don't have love yet
The plot of the TV series has changed a lot. First of all, I still prefer the TV series. Of course, the novel is also very good. Although the brother-in-law in the TV series is rude, his love for the eldest sister of the Hu family is enviable. Gu Qingming in the drama is calmer, wiser and more mature than Gu Qingming in the novel, and he knows better what he wants to do. The most rare thing about the whole drama is that it reflects the cruelty of war through the rise and fall of the family and the changes in the characters' personalities.
I came to watch it after watching the TV series. Generally novels are more exciting than TV series. I am a big fan of Zhan Changsha. I watched it again today, for the fourth time. Come on!
The country is worried about the family, but the love between children is long.
Xiangxiang has been pampered since she was a child, and war has always been too far away for her. But when the war comes to her, she wants to escape, until Gu Qingming comes out. Now, he knows what country is... Xiaoman is a child who has not grown up, living in his own world, unwilling to grow up, unwilling to face the troubles of life, until Xue Junshan's death, he grew up overnight, but he met Xiaohei, his life is destined to have twists and turns... The luckiest thing about Gu Qingming is that he was born in the Gu family. This is also the saddest thing about him. He became a soldier who can never go to the battlefield! The most correct thing he did was to marry Xiangxiang and teach Xiangxiang how to serve the country. The most regrettable thing was that he had no children in his life...
Uncle Hua's character is so handsome.
Uncle Hua, come on. I hope I can also write the best and most suitable novel for you, for Uncle Hua to shoot.
A thousand miles away from the thunderous drama of the Anti-Japanese War!
I thought the TV series was already very heroic and tragic, but I didn't expect the novel to be even more... A tribute to the heroes who died in that war! Because of their bravery, fearlessness, loyalty and patriotism, we have the wonderful life we have today. Cherish the present and remember the history! For those of you who, like me, read novels from TV series, try not to read them as romance. You will see more different emotions.
He taught her what it means to be a country, and she taught him what it means to be a home.
I watched the drama version of Battle in Changsha. To be honest, the novel is not as good as the TV drama.
