On the occasion of the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, "Chongqing! Chongqing! Is set in Chongqing where blood and fire are intertwined, telling the national epic of a broken family.
Nanjing intellectual Jiang Suying lost her home in the Japanese bombing, and her husband died in grief and anger. Her three sons made a resolute decision in the face of the national crisis: the eldest son Chen Tianyou joined the Kuomintang navy and fought fiercely on the Yangtze River; the second son Chen Tianzuo joined the Communist underground organization and fought secretly; the youngest son Chen Tianci was trapped in the Wang puppet regime, suffering between humiliation and conscience.
Through Jiang Suying's arduous journey to find her son, the novel profoundly depicts the amazing resilience displayed by Chongqing citizens in the air-raid shelter - the spirit of "endurance", and recreates the thrilling spy war. The fate of the three brothers returning home together through different paths is intertwined with the righteousness of family and country and the love of flesh and blood. It is a tragic epitome of the 40 million compatriots fighting against foreign aggression together.
With more than 100,000 words, this work, through the ups and downs of a family and the bloody persistence of a heroic city, deeply eulogizes the great fighting spirit and unyielding soul of the Chinese nation in its fight for independence and freedom. I would like to use this book to remember the heroes, pay tribute to history, and enlighten the future - remember the years of war and protect today's mountains and rivers.
