[War of Resistance, patriotism, leveling up, with the protagonist starting out as an ordinary nobody; a timeline-native protagonist]
A cannon blast marks the September 18 Incident. Zhang Tiesheng sees with his own eyes as a collaborator leads Japanese soldiers into his village.
At the time, Tiesheng doesn’t understand grand ideas like duty to country and family. He only knows the Japanese have massacred his village, leaving men, women, and children lying in pools of blood. He swears to kill the invaders and avenge them: kill one, and he breaks even; kill two, and he comes out ahead.
And so, a “Wooden-Stick Hero” appears out of nowhere in Fengtian City.
The hero has no guns or cannons. All he has is a sharpened wooden stick, yet he silently stabs nine Japanese soldiers to death.
By the time the Japanese are searching all over Fengtian for him, he has long since vanished.
But a thousand miles away in Shanghai, Yu Qiaqing, president of the General Chamber of Commerce, publicly announces that he has a distant “nephew.”
When the wooden stick becomes a rifle, and the tiny flame of revenge becomes an ideal of defending home and country,
Zhang Tiesheng finally understands: every inch of land beneath his feet is a homeland he must defend with his life.
[The male lead is eloquent, quick-witted, brave, fearless, and full of patriotic fervor.]
Creation is a quantum entanglement in a silent state. When I start writing, the world in the novel has begun to really move. To be honest, it's really hard to have no comments and data, especially after the 80,000-word Tomato verification period. When I wrote that the protagonist's family was ruined, maybe the readers had just seen that the protagonist had just been born into this world. Even love and hate, there is a time gap between the author and the reader. When I chose the labels for my works, these were not the ones I chose. As a result, after applying for labels, it became the current classification. I would like to express my most sincere apology to the readers who were guided by the labels. Zhang Tiesheng's story is very long, with decades of changes in between. This novel is also very long, I may write it for a long time. I am very grateful to have readers now. Although no one has commented or urged for updates, I am very satisfied to see the data at 12 noon every day. In 2026, I will keep writing, and I hope everyone will correct me. I love you, okay. 2026.1.12 Two taels of gold
