In the early spring of 2026, three-year-old Su Nianan was holding her beloved white horse doll, and an unexpected touch brought her into a rift in time and space. When she came to her senses, she was already in the Wild Wolf Valley in the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei border area in the late winter of 1938 - the last stronghold of the Independent Company of the Eighth Route Army. The wind was biting, the soldiers were in ragged clothes, and the position was in dire straits, but she was also bound to the Borderless Live Broadcasting System, and her every move was synchronized to millions of viewers.
At first, the comments were full of doubts and ridicule. Until the audience saw with their own eyes: the hungry soldiers still stood firm, holding their guns tightly with frozen hands; in the smoke of gunfire, little Nian'an held up the doll and comforted his wounded "uncle and brother" with a childish voice. When the Japanese artillery fire came, the soldiers protected her young daughter with their flesh and blood, and used their lives to protect the mountains, rivers and compatriots behind them - the live broadcast room was completely boiling.
The audience spontaneously initiated "feeding", and snacks, medicines, clothing and even weapon drawings were turned into real materials through the system and delivered to the soldiers; heart-warming words from the future, through Xiao Nian'an's soft and waxy child voice, warmed the heroes in the cold winter. A protective and tender show that spans 88 years is staged: the blood of the battlefield interweaves with the glimmer of despair, the three-year-old cute boy and the iron-blooded warrior redeem each other, and it also reflects the common home and national conditions of millions of people.
Xiao Nian'an is like a bridge between time and space, allowing us today to protect the heroes of the past, and also allowing the persistence and loyalty that have been dusted by time to shine again. This legend reminds us that today's mountains and rivers are in good condition because of the blood of our ancestors.
How lucky it is to be born in China and keep watch.
