In the spring of 1926, Lin Wantang, an ancient book restorer, accidentally traveled to Ba County in the Republic of China. With his superb archival skills, he entered the Ba County Documentation Committee, the organization that compiles "Ba County Chronicles in the Republic of China". Here, she met Gu Weizhen, a young editor who had returned from studying in Japan—an underground member of the Communist Party of China who appeared to be gentle and elegant, but in fact had ironclad faith.
The two became acquainted with each other because of history. In the process of sorting out Ba County's teaching records and historical materials on the opening of the port, they gradually discovered that Japanese forces coveted eastern Sichuan. The warlords interfered in the revision of official records, the "March 31" massacre broke out, and the overt and covert struggles in the Wangjiatuo Concession... In the tide of the times, Lin Wantang was deeply affected by Gu Weizhen's feelings for her family and country. She grew from a modern woman who just wanted to "repair the old paper" to a staunch revolutionary.
From the letters conveying love on the banks of the Jialing River, to the resonance of faith in the night rain of Bashan; from the life-and-death test of fighting for historical materials, to the accomplishment of the mission of compiling a book - they used historical pens as swords and guns, and spent eight years guarding the memory of a city and the eternal light in their hearts.
Taking "Ba County Chronicles of the Republic of China" as the historical bone and the innocent heart as the blood, we will write an epic of the Republic of China that is the same structure of the family and the country.
