I Built a Scenic Spot in the Republic of China

In the last years of Guangxu, outside Wuchang City, Shen Yi took over the ancestral business and listed it as "Eternal Real Scenery". Outsiders sneered that this was just a retro garden built by a rich and willful young master who enclosed the land. Only Shen Yi knew that what this garden held was the bones of China that had lasted for thousands of years. The crossbowmen of the Qin Dynasty would shoot in the morning light, complaining that the wet weather made their sinews stiff; In the late Tang Dynasty, the Modao team performed in formation on a snowy night and debated the price of Hu cakes in Chang'an West Market; At the end of the Ming Dynasty, a dead soldier squatted in a corner, wiping his muskets, thinking about whether he could find a wife in future generations after this battle. In 1937, Shanghai collapsed, and Pujiang held on to one warehouse alone. Eight hundred miles away from the Eternal Scenic Spot, eight hundred garrison soldiers from past dynasties filled the defense line silently. That night, on the banks of the Suzhou River, under the neon lights, what the foreigners saw was not an army, but the backbone of China that had never been cut off for thousands of years. Since then, the Gaima Plateau has been extremely cold and the Shangganling Mountains have been scorched. Generations of new people replace old ones, but the ancient locust tree in the garden sprouts branches every year. This is an epic about "living". Living people and dead souls guard this eternal lamp together in this garden.
