The Adorable Five-Year-Old Brings a Million Heroic Spirits to Witness China’s Golden Age

[Adorable Five-Year-Old + Finding Fallen Heroes’ Families + Love of Country + Tearjerking Redemption]

In a museum after closing, five-year-old A Xing holds up half a strawberry candy and asks the empty display case in a childish voice, “Mister, would you like some candy?”

As the museum director’s granddaughter, A Xing was born with the ability to see “the spirits of fallen heroes.”

The spirits attached to the heroes’ relics don’t haunt or harm anyone. They’re simply unable to leave because their last wishes remain unfulfilled.

Some have forgotten their names. Some can’t find their way home. Others are frozen in the moment before their deaths, stubbornly asking, “Did we win?”

Faced with fragmentary historical records and the passage of time, A Xing uses details from the visions she sees with her heavenly eye to join volunteers from across the country in a search for the heroes’ families, spanning the boundaries of time.

She plays parade footage for a communications soldier on her phone, finds a sixteen-year-old boy’s name from the stitching on his cloth shoes, and brings the flourishing new China to the fallen heroes, bit by bit.

Then one day, a relic with no clues at all is brought into the museum.

Can the “nameless one,” who deliberately erased every trace of himself to protect his comrades, still find his way home in this peaceful and prosperous age?
