In Shanghai in 1922, Shen Yichen, the son of Shen Yuan, the commander-in-chief of the Zhejiang-Shanghai Allied Forces, was publicly humiliated by Huang Huangrong, the leader of the Youth Gang, due to a well-designed plot. On the verge of death, the ace agent Ye Feng from later generations awakens with his iron-blooded memory - from then on, the former arrogant young master transformed into a dormant sharp blade.
With the wisdom of an agent, he controlled the situation in troubled times: he stormed into the French Concession to capture Huang Jinrong alive, used kindness and power to subdue the Green Gang and the Ax Gang, and twisted the underground forces into one rope; he sent his disciples to the oceans to protect the overseas Chinese from water and fire, and accumulated strength overseas.
With a heart to serve the country, he embarked on an iron-blooded journey: he gave up his comfort and was admitted to the Whampoa Military Academy. From an iron-blooded pioneer in the Northern Expedition to a mainstay in the anti-Japanese war, he was ordered to take charge of the expeditionary force at the critical moment, leading his troops to sweep through northern Burma, frightening the Japanese invaders, and using guns and cannons to wash away the national humiliation.
Refusing the disaster of civil war and guarding the safety of his compatriots: When the situation was decided, he did not want to fight with his brothers and resolutely led his troops to go to Southeast Asia. Faced with the history of blood and tears of repeated persecution of the Chinese in Indonesia, he used iron and blood as a shield and wisdom as a blade to build a safe haven for the Chinese in the country of a thousand islands.
From a playboy in a foreign country to a famous anti-Japanese general at home and abroad; from the leader of underground forces to the guardian of overseas Chinese. The life of Shen Yichen (Ye Feng) is a transformation of rebirth from the ashes, an persistence of the feelings of family and country, and a legendary epic of "taking troubled times as chess and thinking of compatriots"!
The calm and ruthless nature of an agent meets the military and political resources of a warlord's son. Let's see how he forges an iron-blooded path to protect the safety of overseas Chinese and gain prestige in foreign lands in an era of great powers and wars!
Reader comments
The narrative power of the novel lies in that it not only tells the transformation of a person, but also the spiritual awakening of a nation in times of crisis. The protagonist's growth trajectory reflects the choices of countless Chinese young people of that era: they abandoned their original backgrounds and personal interests and united to fight for a greater goal-national survival. The road from a playboy to a famous anti-Japanese general is a road of sublimation that consciously integrates personal destiny into the destiny of the country.
