The Spy Movie of Jingkang·Defending the Lonely City｜A heart-to-heart drama about the history of the Song Dynasty
In the first year of Jingkang, Luoyang fell.
Jin Qi stepped across Heluo, Bianjing was shocked, order collapsed, and people's hearts were scattered. Some people are running south to survive, some are bending their knees to seek safety, some are taking advantage of the chaos to grab profits, and some are waiting for change - forces from all sides are strangulating, and humanity is stripped away in troubled times.
Yongning. An inconspicuous small county on the west side of Luoyang became the last fulcrum of the Song Dynasty in the west of Beijing.
Zhao Budu, the magistrate of the clan, held the palm of his hand when faced with the crisis, carrying the Big Dipper flag and letters from home, shouldering the crisis as a scholar. Oshii Inori, who knew his destiny, inherited his father's staff and broken porcelain, and used half his life's experience to support the foundation of the city. Su Niannu, who was born as a singer, was buried in the death circle of the Jin camp and the circle of demoted officials. He was always happy in life, but he was in charge of the intelligence center later in life. He explored military affairs and identified traitors. A word of intelligence could mean the life or death of the isolated city. Rebels from all directions gathered to guard this precarious corner.
They are not heroes.
The court has abandoned its defense, the generals have deserted, internal traitors are hidden, and foreign troops are pressing down on the territory. There are no golden fingers, no suspension, no water injection, only the most true suffering and the toughest bones in troubled times.
Rigorous textual research on the history of the Song Dynasty × group portrait narrative × conspiracy espionage × grayscale of human nature. Ma Boyong's information density, Chen Zhongshi's complexity of human nature, and Lu Yao's bottom-level empathy.
There is a sound of broken porcelain, and the Luo River flows eastward. Peace is here, and there will be no return date. What they guard is not a city, but the tone in their hearts.
