The 16th year of the Republic of China, Suzhou.
When Shen Lingyi first met the accountant in her silk and satin shop, she was seventeen and he was nineteen. He was wearing a washed-white gown, lowered his head to read the abacus, and his back was straight. She glanced at him one more time just because of his sitting posture - no one in this shop dared not to raise his head when she entered.
Later, he left and joined the army with a pen, leaving her a short letter: "The world will change, and men should join the army with a pen."
Three years later, she was already the female head of the Shen family business, and he was already the captain's staff officer in the division's confidential staff office.
She didn't know that he was wearing the uniform of the Kuomintang, and in his heart he imagined a China without the Kuomintang.
He didn't know that she was carrying another heavy mission on her weak shoulders.
They are the most decent pretenders and the loneliest lamplighters in troubled times.
At the same time, her family friend Fu Yanci fell in love with a girl who sang Pingtan. The girl's name was Lin Sheng, her voice was as clear as a spring, and her eyes were gleaming with swords. She used a song "Jade Dragonfly" to convey information and used a pipa to protect her comrades. She loves him, but she can't tell him everything. She died in the darkness before dawn, leaving him only a silver dollar and four words: "See you in the next life."
This is not a story about heroes. This is a story about ordinary people choosing to be the light in the darkest of times.
Listening to the wind and rain on the string, there is a return boat in the world.
