In November 1937, the sound of artillery fire outside Nanjing was getting closer and closer.
Zhang Ergou is a coffin bearer, he doesn't have any great skills, he just has the strength and the ability to recognize the way. His biggest wish is to save more money so that his sister can have enough to eat.
But the devil is coming.
The sky fell.
The city is about to be destroyed.
People fleeing are like a tide, but where can they flee?
No one knew that the hell for hundreds of thousands of people had just begun.
Ergou looked at his frightened sister in his arms and at the desperate villagers behind him. He didn't have a gun in his hand, only a pole to carry the coffin.
He couldn't kill a few Japs, and he couldn't save the city.
But he has to live and live with his sister! Even if he crawls like a wild dog, he still has to crawl out of this mountain of corpses and sea of blood!
But this road was full of blood, full of fire, full of heart-wrenching cries and wild beast-like laughter.
This is not the story of a hero, this is the story of a little man in purgatory, how he desperately protected the last bit of light around him, but his hope was crushed by the giant wheel of time again and again.
Thirty days, the final countdown to Jinling City. Read on, if you can bear the weight.
