[Period setting + everyday life + adorable high-IQ child + military compound + love of country and family + no romance + heartwarming and tearjerking]
Su Nuonuo is the daughter of a martyr, but she was left behind and endured hardship in the countryside, eating leftovers and sleeping in a woodshed.
Luckily, she meets a “wise old immortal” who has been sent down to the countryside. He teaches her the Book of Changes, mathematics, astronomy, and geography.
At four years old, Nuonuo may look gaunt, but her little head is full of great wisdom.
Through star charts and logical calculations, she figures out that her biological father, whom she has never met, is at a northern military base!
With a tattered cloth bundle on her back, the little girl crosses mountains through the night and sneaks into a heavily guarded base.
Facing the cold commander known as the “Living Yama,” she calls him “Dad” for the first time, four years late.
At first, Colonel Gu looks at the grimy little urchin and says, “Where did this child come from? Send her away.”
Later, he sees Nuonuo use the Book of Changes to predict a torrential storm and save military provisions, and apply mathematical planning to improve the troops' efficiency...
The whole military base is stunned: “Commander, your daughter is a genius! She's a national treasure!”
This isn't fantasy; it's the wisdom of traditional Chinese culture.
Here you'll find the simple meals of the 1970s, comrades entrusting each other with their lives, and the tearful, everyday story of a father and daughter who go from strangers to each other's whole world.
“Dad protects the country, and Nuonuo protects Dad.”
