This book tells the story of one person's continuous singing and the beacon-fire school. The book is not a heroic feat, but countless trivial but tenacious daily perseverances. From shouting to protect the school, to working hard in the classroom, to still insisting on teaching in exile, the continuous singing of family and country sentiments is moving. I cried several times.
