The continuation of "Silent Glory": He went from a poor academic to a hidden hero, and she spent her whole life catching his fall.
If someone asks, how much can the "Marry First, Love Later" version of the Republic of China be?
Just look at Wu Shi and Wang Bikui.
The sequel begins with his youth: his hometown in Fujian, a boy from a poor family, but with his "excellent physique" he passed the examination and became the top of the military school. Until he met Wang Bikui, who came from a well-known family in Nanjing - she was not only a lady, but also a woman who could talk to him about family, country and the future. A dance, several nights of long talks, and a rationally arranged marriage, the truest love in troubled times grew.
The days after marriage are like warm light: she takes care of the house and raises children, while he works on the front line; she understands his ideals, and he cherishes her tenacity. The children grew up in troubled times, but they remembered their father's back at the desk late at night and their mother's ever-calm smile.
In 1949, when he was ordered to go to Taiwan, she only said: "A family will stay together until death."
In the last few years in Taiwan, things were calm on the surface but turbulent on the inside. The fire burning in his study room late at night, her figure silently guarding the door - it was an unspeakable farewell.
After his sacrifice, the real story really begins:
His wife Wang Bikui and their children have become an extension of him in suffering. The daughter took root in the northwest and devoted herself to scientific research, while the son protected the country incognito. They have kept a low profile throughout their lives, but they have engraved their father's words "fight for the country" into their bones and blood.
This is not a simple love epic.
This is a story of one person falling and a family standing up——
He protects the country, she protects the family, and the children spend their lives catching the fallen sparks of their parents, allowing them to continue to burn quietly in the long night of China.
