At the end of the Tang Dynasty, there was a severe drought, with no harvests for thousands of miles, and Chang'an's energy was almost exhausted.
Chen Mo, a young tenant farmer, only wanted an acre of thin farmland and the safety of his family, but was forced to have his family destroyed by excessive taxes and rioters. To protect his young sister, he killed people with a stick and fled his hometown in a hurry.
He started out as a refugee, joined the rebel army, and experienced troubled times and war.
He witnessed with his own eyes Huang Chao's entry into Beijing, the overthrow of Chang'an, the struggle between Bian and Jin, the change of the Five Dynasties, the Chenqiao mutiny, and the release of military power over a cup of wine - from the collapse of the late Tang Dynasty to the early establishment of the Song Dynasty, he was part of a turbulent century.
He is not an emperor or a hero, he is just a speck of dust in a troubled world.
But in the midst of blood and fire, he kept his brotherhood, protected the good in his heart, hid his lovesickness in his bones, and upheld the righteousness of his family and country.
I have seen bones covering the wilderness, and I have also guarded the lights of the world;
I have experienced betrayal and separation, but I have also believed that I will never change my original intention.
The life of a common man is a history of the vicissitudes of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms.
The common people are written in the light and shadow of swords, and the true feelings are hidden in the ups and downs of troubled times.
As a small person, he sees the rise and fall of the great era.
