An unconventional and refreshing novel about the Republic of China, it is the calm before the rainstorm. A slow-warming group portrait, warm and daily in the early stage, and tragic and epic in the later stage.
Ye Xiangxiang traveled to the Republic of China and had no other thoughts than to become a rich second generation.
She thought about three things every day: how to get some money for the Red Army, how to get delicious food, and how to abduct her soft-spoken and soft-hearted sweetheart to Chongqing.
She thought this was good, and the perspective of watching from the sidelines made it easier for her to endure.
But later, that pilot friend who had not yet had time to go to the battlefield, that outstanding actor on the stage, and many people she knew, all walked towards their respective end points without saying a word.
Only then did she realize that in this land, no one could stay out of trouble, including herself.
