The Long-Lasting Love Between a Chinese Worker and a French Girl Makes a Half-Life Date

During the First World War, the Chinese engineer Li Xue rescued a young German painter in the smoke of Verdun, and also met the love of his life, Sophie. An urgent telegram ordered him to return home in a hurry. With the words "Wait for me", he stayed there for twenty-six years. From the bloody battle in Outer Mongolia to the 14-year War of Resistance, he defended his family and country in a hail of bullets, with only a French woman in his heart. In 1945, when the Anti-Japanese War was finally won, he went to Paris, but after a hangover, he got involved in a shocking mystery: the battlefield notes on the wall, his children who suddenly appeared, and the secrets entrusted by old friends with their lives, all of which revealed the heaviest lies in troubled times. He spent half his life in the military in exchange for the peace of his family and country, and spent twenty-six years keeping a promise. The flames of war tore apart the mountains and rivers, and the years turned his hair white. He experienced life and death and traveled thousands of miles just to meet again half a lifetime later. In an era when spies and gunfire were intertwined, he defended his country with iron and blood, waited for his lover with deep affection, and wrote the most shocking story of family, country and love in troubled times.
