About This Novel
On January 5, 1936, geologist Ding Wenjiang, who had served as a member of the Executive Yuan's Political Affairs Reorganization Committee, died of a lung infection caused by gas poisoning while inspecting the Tanjiashan Coal Mine in Hunan. On this day, he was three months away from his 49th birthday. Ding Wenjiang is one of the founders of Chinese geology. This westward expedition was to explore the coal reserves along the Guangdong-Hankou Railway and plan for long-term resistance to Japan. This workaholic died unexpectedly at the prime age of less than fifty. The news spread, and the academic circles across the country were shocked. Ten years ago, after Ding Wenjiang resigned from the Songhu Commercial Port General Office and left Sun Chuanfang, his first stop was Beijing. Beiyang is about to fall, and Ding Wenjiang, Zhang Taiyan, Chen Taoyi, Zhang Junmai and others are on the wanted list issued by the Southern Revolutionary Army. Later, he found out that the wanted order had not actually been executed, and he felt relieved.
