From the farewell of life and death in Wusongkou to the reunion after peace, from the inheritance of the victims' relics to the rebirth of the big world, the friendships on the battlefield and the adherence to agreements one by one have accumulated over the years into the most touching legends of the era, witnessing the deep love of family and country in troubled times.
