A radio wave spanning eighty-eight years, connecting the resonance of blood between two war years
In 2025, Lin Yuan, an online anchor who graduated from the history department, returned to his ancestral home in western Fujian and was sorting out his grandfather's belongings when he accidentally discovered that an old radio started on its own without power. Amid the noise of electricity, a young and tight voice came:
"This is the North China Anti-Japanese Base Area... Can anyone hear me?"
It was the autumn of 1937 in Wangjiayu, Wuxiang County, Shanxi. Chen Tiezhu, a communications corpsman of the Eighth Route Army, was trying to make contact using a captured Japanese radio station. Two times and spaces that could never have met have converged due to mysterious radio waves.
When Lin Yuan proved that he was from 2025 and that the Anti-Japanese War had been victorious 88 years ago, Chen Tiezhu and the soldiers and civilians in the base area went from doubt to shock, and finally accepted this surreal connection. Lin Yuan started a real-time live broadcast, allowing millions of modern viewers to "hear with their own ears" the real voices of the most difficult years of the Anti-Japanese War:
The villagers who were powerless due to salt shortage for three months, Zhou Xiuying, the female director of the literacy class who used kerosene lamps to illuminate the literacy class, the injured who had frostbite and ulcers that could not be cured, the young soldiers who sacrificed their lives on the reconnaissance road to protect the radio station... History is no longer the numbers in textbooks, but the lives that still sing in desperate situations.
