I am Shen Huaijin, the eldest son of the Shen family in Nanjing.
In 1925, I was admitted to the Huangpu Military Academy without telling my family.
Six people in a dormitory, six passionate teenagers, six completely different lives.
The boss, Chen Jianqiu, is from Hunan and is taciturn. Later he became a lieutenant general of the Kuomintang. He was decisive in killing, but always left a way for his brothers to escape.
The second eldest child, Zhao Jinglan, is uninhibited and has no serious words in his mouth. Later, he was appointed by Dai Li, sneaked into the puppet Manchukuo, and became the backbone of the military command in the Northeast, codenamed "Nightingale". In the end, his identity was exposed and he died heroically for his country.
The third child is me, Shen Huaijin. He looks gentle on the outside, but there is a fire hidden inside. The person who introduced me to the Party was Mr. Zhou, and I always had a code book under my pillow. I chose this path from the day I stepped into Huangpu, and I never looked back.
The old man, Zi Heng, is loyal and honest. Later he became a traitor and I personally sent him on his way. Before he died, he called "Third Brother" exactly the same as he did twenty years ago.
Lao Wufang wakes up. He rose all the way to division commander in the Kuomintang army, but no one knew he was an underground party member. In 1948, he led an uprising in Hunan. We were both in the Kuomintang camp at that time, and we didn't know each other's identity.
Su Xiaoman, the sixth child, disguised herself as a man and entered the military academy. He has two dimples when he smiles, and he can fight harder than anyone else. She has had a crush on me for years and I pretended not to know. Later, she took a bullet for me and fell into my arms: "Third brother, don't lie to me again in the next life."
This is the youth of a generation - passion, betrayal, faith, love, and the year 1925 that can never be returned.
It's really well written, five stars.
