The Long March: From Refugee Boy to Founding General

Winter, 1934. On the banks of the Xiang River, Chen Wang, a sixteen-year-old farm boy from southern Jiangxi, lies among the bodies of his fallen comrades. As he hovers on the brink of death, a soul from 2049 merges with his. The memories of Lin Yue, a military medic from the special forces, seep into his consciousness like a dream.

Chen Wang has no idea who Lin Yue is, but he starts doing things he "shouldn't know how to do": he knows how to stop the bleeding when he sees the wounded, can speak Japanese as soon as he hears it, and seems to have an uncanny tactical instinct when facing the enemy.

From the muddy grasslands of the Long March to the blood-red dusk of the Taihang Mountains; from the thousand-mile front lines of the Huaihai Campaign to the frozen battlefield of Lake Changjin; and finally, under an assumed name, to the Gobi Desert, where he helps raise the first mushroom cloud of New China...

This is the tale of a boy's rise from refugee to general, and an epic of passion about a nation rising from a sea of blood and standing tall once more.
