About This Novel

The family ancestral hall in Dongqing Bay was occupied by the Japanese army as a prison. Facing the Japanese invasion, one of my grandfather and second grandfather chose to build the tallest tower in the city, hoping to retain a family with the strength of a tower; while the other chose to avoid and hide after his negotiations with the Japanese army were frustrated. "My" uncles and aunts also had different fates due to the turmoil of the current situation. Legends happen to everyone. The descendants of a family who have lost their family and their motherland are like sleepwalking or losing their voices. This is a city with no way to make a sound; this is the deepest and darkest night before the battle begins.
