The Journey Home from the Flames of War

"Homeward Bound" tells a touching story about war, return and protection. The iron-blooded general Shen Yanzhi fought hard in Mobei for three years and finally led his remaining troops to defeat the rogue bandits. However, he suddenly received an urgent report that Beidi had broken through the pass and troops were approaching his hometown of Yanzhou City. He traveled day and night and returned after a bloody journey. What he saw was an isolated city riddled with scars and a blood-stained "Shen" flag on the city tower. Rushing into the house with great fear and guilt, he saw the most precious scene in his life and experienced the deepest pain. His wife Su Weizhi gave birth to a daughter in the flames of the enemy's invasion. She was also wounded by an arrow, but she stabilized people's hearts with her amazing tenacity. She named her daughter "Niangui", which means she hopes he will return soon. Facing his pale and weak wife and daughter, Shen Yanzhi had mixed feelings. All his military exploits were incomparable to the light that lit up for him. The story unfolds from here, divided into two lines: light and dark. The bright line is that Shen Yanzhi, as the general who defended the city, rectified the defense, paid for the wounded soldiers, and dealt with the threat of the Di tribe's comeback in the north. On the familiar battlefield in the past, he had deeper weaknesses and stronger armor. The hidden thread is the every detail of how he and his wife and daughter rebuilt their home in the ruins after the war, from clumsily learning cooking skills to holding a hundred-day banquet for his daughter. The trivial and ordinary fireworks healed the wounds of the war and allowed him to truly understand the meaning of "guarding" - not only protecting his family and country, but also accompanying him in every day. This is not only the return journey of the famous general Shen Yanzhi from the "blade of the country" to the "cornerstone of the family", but also a city and a home.
