In the winter of 1937, the smoke of the fall of Peking had not yet cleared. Chen Shan, a young scholar whose family had been ruined, fled to the end of the world with a broken ancestral clock case and full of blood hatred. In the secret room of this shell, it seems that his unknown last hope and deep responsibility are hidden. When he narrowly escaped death and arrived at the anti-Japanese base area, the torrent of fate involved him in the Blood and Fire Company of Captain Wang Tiechui, Shi Xiaomei's crisis-ridden Spy Drug Store, the silent support of Village Chief Liu Laoshuan in the rear countryside, and Dr. Shen Yueru's operation table where he regained his life on the verge of death. From a useless scholar to a warrior who specializes in firearms and crafting mechanisms, from a lone avenger to a collective member with rock-solid beliefs, he and thousands of people who did not want to be slaves, in the purgatory-like mountains and rivers, used blood, tears, wisdom, life and sacrifice to compose the "Quenching Mountain River Book" that can shock the ancient and modern times.
On the occasion of the 80th anniversary of victory, revisit this national epic composed of real family letters, silent relics, and narrations from millions of people. See how the flesh-and-blood Great Wall stands tall on the ruins, and how the great anti-war spirit penetrates time and space to illuminate our journey forward.
