In the 16th year of the Republic of China, it was the night of Mid-Autumn Festival. Father Shen left behind three jade pendants before his death:
"Together they are complete."
The eldest son Shen Botao joined the army and became an officer of the Kuomintang. The Battle of Songhu, the Massacre of Nanjing, the Expedition to Savage Mountain - he crawled out from the pile of dead, only to find that his faith was collapsing.
The second son Shen Zhongping joined the underground party and lurked in the Japanese-occupied areas. The communication lines he established with his own hands were destroyed again and again, and his wife died in the reeds to protect her children. He didn't even have a chance to see her one last time.
The young girl Shen Shuyi grew up from a Shanghai socialite to a war correspondent. She wrote about most of China's battlefields, but she couldn't write the answer in her heart - why did her former fiancé become a traitor?
Fourteen years of resistance war, three cities, three different roads.
The old mother of Shen Zhai in Qingpu has been waiting for the sweet-scented osmanthus tree all her life.
On the day of victory, they came back.
The scars are still there, but people have gone through vicissitudes of life. But when the three jade pendants were finally put together——
The mountains and rivers are safe, and the old friends are back.

This is a family epic during the Anti-Japanese War, describing the choices, perseverance and return of ordinary people in troubled times.
Not only the flames of war, but also the human heart that is harder to extinguish than the flames of war.
