About This Novel

In January 1935, the bank of the Xiangjiang River broke off and the medicine box bottomed out. Nineteen-year-old health worker Chen Xinghuo poured the last half of a bottle of Chishui shochu into the wounds of his comrades - the wine became the first bottle of "iodine" and the most scarce strategic material. From the bloody battle in Tucheng to the four crossings of Chishui, he led the assault company to find wine, transport it, and distill alcohol; wine can disinfect, keep out the cold, strengthen people's movement, and can also be made into incendiary bombs to seal off pursuers. The century-old cellar of "Yihechang" in Maotai Town became a temporary "mobile medicine depot" for the Red Army; the wall of fire ignited by 75-degree old wine saved the floating bridge's life for ten minutes. For sixty-six days and sixty nights, every drop of the fragrance of Chishui River turned into life-saving alcohol and faith - wine is medicine and direction. When the last drop of alcohol was poured into the bugle, the trumpet of victory sounded on the loess slopes of Wuqi Town; they finally used wine to distill themselves and New China together.
