In 1937, the mountains and rivers were shattered, smoke was everywhere, and the war of all-out resistance swept across China. The land trampled by the iron hooves of the Japanese army was filled with displacement, blood and tears. Xu Zhong, a soldier of the Guangxi Army, experienced the Battle of Songhu and unexpectedly awakened to a simple but practical space. It produced no supplies and its main function was to save lives and supply ammunition. He then experienced the Wuxing Blockade, the Defense of Nanjing, and the Battle of Kunlun Pass. He experienced serious injuries and was on the verge of death. From the perspective of a soldier, he observed this history of blood and tears.
In the past, he and his comrade Chen Er fought side by side in blood. During the deadly battle in Chenjiaxing, they relied on this space to escape countless fatal attacks and used their flesh and blood to resist the invasion of foreign enemies. Now, the battlefield was defeated and the troops were separated. The two of them took off their military uniforms with scars all over their bodies and took root in Beiping's Xiaoluoxian Hutong. They just wanted to rely on this life-saving space to survive the troubled times.
The space is not big, just enough to shelter from danger; the original intention has not changed, and the righteousness of the family and the country are still in mind. From the bloody battlefield to the alley where fireworks are common, from avoiding Japanese raids to eliminating hidden spies, Xu Zhong always remembers that this space is the salvation in troubled times, and what he protects is not only the lives of himself and his comrades, but also the unquenched hope in this broken mountains and rivers.
It's very beautiful. Come and see it.
