In 1932, Shanghai. Lin Hao is a Japanese-Chinese, a colonel in the Japanese military police, and a rising star of the Empire. Few know that he is a double agent for the Military Statistics Bureau and the Chinese Communist Party, codenamed “Lone Star” and “Chang Geng.” His father is a Japanese general; his mother, an underground Communist doctor. Though he stands in enemy territory, his heart belongs to China. He bears the deepest secrets and the heaviest of missions.
In this city, reduced to an isolated island, he uses the Qinghe Tea House as a contact point, putting on a show with its proprietress, Shen Qinghe, of “a lovesick officer doggedly pursuing a cool, aloof beauty.” Amid the clink of glasses, they pass along top-secret intelligence. He maneuvers among his suspicious father, the sinister Isamu Kagezhen, and the brutal agents of Unit 76, walking a razor’s edge and surviving by lies.
From the bloody Battle of Shanghai and the fall of Nanjing to the flames of the Pacific War, he steals battle plans, rescues patriots, and thwarts enemy plots.
When love clashes with faith, and family ties stand against the fate of the nation, he must make a cruel choice between his loved ones and his countrymen. This is a war without gunfire, yet more brutal than any fought with guns; a lonely man’s long song through the dark; a tragic epic dedicated to a spirit that will never surrender.
Describes in detail the situation of the anti-Japanese war that year. Nice!
Will there be separate episodes for the male protagonist, the female protagonist and the male protagonist's parents?
