Shen Yan, a historical archives researcher in 2023, traveled to the Republic of China in 1937 after an accident and became a soldier training at the Central Military Academy. At that time, the mountains and rivers were broken and wars were everywhere. With his modern historical understanding and his undiminished feelings about his family and country, he started from the iron-blooded training ground of Whampoa Military Academy and stepped into the sword and shadow of the military commander step by step.
During the secret war in the concession in Shanghai, he held information and passed under the eyes of the Japanese special high school; during the battlefield war in Wuhan, he carried a camera to record the movements of the Japanese army under artillery fire; in the fog of the mountain city in Chongqing, he uncovered the Japanese spies hiding in the dark; along the road between Yunnan and Burma line, he guarded the lifeline of international aid supplies to China... In the eight years of the war of resistance, he grew from an ignorant time traveler to a capable "Inkstone" in the military command. He saw the decisiveness of the fallen robes, heard the cries of the people fleeing, and also held the weight of information in exchange for lives.
When the news of the victory in 1945 spread throughout the streets, he stood on Geles Mountain and looked at the lights of Chongqing. Only then did he realize that the word "home and country" had never been the typeface in the archives - it was the mountains and rivers that countless people had sacrificed to warm up, and it was the world that would remain after the smoke of war had cleared. And his story has just turned a new page in the prelude to peace.
