Stand up and Speak

About This Novel
There is a saying in China that the rafters that stand out will die first. However, as a prominent family in the south of the Yangtze River, the Li family stepped forward at every critical moment in history, making their own family voice and shouldering the obligations and responsibilities of a big family. The protagonist of the novel, Li Mutao, the third eldest son of the Li family and the former boss of Shanghai's "Youth Gang", organized his own army to support Mr. Sun Yat-sen during the Revolution of 1911. When the Japanese army captured Shanghai and Nanjing, he organized an anti-enemy rescue team to deliver supplies to the soldiers on the front line... Despite experiencing numerous setbacks and confusion, and being extremely disappointed with the Kuomintang's inaction, Li Mutao did not give up his ideals and ambitions to revitalize the Chinese nation, and instead embarked on the road of industrial salvation. In this work, what we see is the unyielding backbone of a family, the patriotic passion of Li Mutao and others, and the firm belief in the great rejuvenation of our nation!
