This is a national spiritual epic forged with flesh and blood and faith, which explores the tenacity and light deep in human nature amidst the flames of war.
——When the identity of "ordinary people" is stripped away by the flames of war, what is revealed is the backbone of a nation that never bends in desperate situations. In 1937, Japanese artillery fire burned the sky in Shanghai black. Huxiang Erlang, who was thousands of miles away, came out in full force. The Miao hunters in Wuling Mountain, the blind singers on the streets, the Taoist priests who gave up their spiritual cultivation and came down the mountain, the students who abandoned their pens and joined the army... They assimilated into the steel guns to protect their homes and the country in the face of the national crisis.
The seven days and seven nights of Jiashan's arduous resistance was the tragedy of flesh and blood against the torrent of steel, the sincerity of "not daring to abandon the soil despite all the casualties", and the determination of "making a monument with one's body" in the struggle for every inch in the streets and alleys. When the Hunan Army's serial number disappeared from the military order, the broken military flag was attached to the chest and turned into a faith stronger than steel. The oath that "Hunan people have not betrayed the country" penetrated the smoke and eventually became a monument in the mountains and rivers. The backbone of the nation will always be supported by countless ordinary people.
