This book is a full-length novel based on the historical facts of the Battle of Nanjing and the Nanjing Massacre in 1937. Some characters, plots and dialogues are fictitious, aiming to present the choices and sacrifices of ordinary people in historical memory in a literary way, and have nothing to do with any official historical records. Readers are welcome to use historical facts as a mirror to make their own judgments.
Su Nianqing never wanted to be a hero. She just wanted to write in the rental house until dawn, hand in the manuscript and buy a cup of milk tea with full sugar. But fate threw her into the winter of 1937 in Nanjing, where artillery fire was denser than fireworks, and what was floating on the Qinhuai River was not lanterns, but people.
Someone said to her: This is history, you can't change it.
Some people also say: You are a time traveler, your life is more valuable than everyone here.
She thought for a long time and finally chose the least cost-effective way - to stay. Fighting. Then die.
The blood of three hundred thousand people cannot be written in a novel.
This book does not intend to rewrite history, nor can it replace history. All the characters and fictional plots serve one purpose: to make people who read this story want to look up the real 1937 that should not be forgotten.
If you finish reading this book, check the historical materials of the Nanjing Massacre, and remember the names of the Grand Palace, Pagoda Bridge, and Torpedo Camp - the mission of this book will be completed.
If not, it's just an okay story.
