A second lieutenant of the Guangxi Army was ordered to carry money to Nanyang to raise donations. However, he was framed by his colleagues for collecting the money, and was exiled to a coolie camp in the name of being a deserter.
Seventeen years later, he became the owner of Nanyang Island and was in charge of the rubber lifeline. When the Anti-Japanese War began, the deputy chief of the Military Commission came to collect donations, only to discover that this "deserter" who had held a grudge for seventeen years was the person he had to win over.
Old grievances entangled the family and the country, and the storms in Southeast Asia began to surge.
Good book, great for reading and reminiscing
