The Sky Screen Reveals China’s Darkest and Brightest Hours from the Start

Sky Screen + History + Historical Recap + From the Start + Revelation + Unforgettable Regrets

The sky screen appeared across the heavens, witnessed by all through the ages.

When blood-red words spelling “Darkest Hour” burned across the sky, Qin Shi Huang drew his sword and looked around in bewilderment, while Li Shimin crushed his wine cup and dared not speak. The drums of the An Lushan Rebellion, the screams as Jingkang fell, the tragic leap into the sea of ten thousand at Yashan, the humiliation of signing treaties on one's knees through a century of modern history... The most painful scars of five thousand years of civilization were laid bare one by one. Emperors and generals of every dynasty watched, suffocating, as Huaxia came to the brink of annihilation time and again.

But when the sky screen turned golden, the “Brightest Moments” burst forth like the rising sun: granaries overflowing under the Rule of Wen and Jing, the countless lights of Bianjing in the Northern Song, the Tang dynasty's confident welcome to envoys from every land, the Qin dynasty's unifying of written script, laying an immortal foundation, and finally, modern sixth-generation fighters tearing through the sky as the Tiangong space station gazes down on the blue Earth... From the hollow-eyed child standing on scorched earth to the boy gazing at the stars beside a launchpad, over 175 years, this civilization answered with its flesh and blood, with the strength of its backbone.

This is a dialogue between civilizations across time and space. When Ying Zheng weeps at the rise of a nation two thousand years in the future, when Chongzhen finds peace before the sea of stars, everyone finally understands: The greatest thing about Chinese civilization has never been that it never falls, but that every time it plunges into the abyss, someone pulls the words “Huaxia” from the blood and carves them anew into the nation's very bones.

The darkest hour is the price; the brightest hour is the answer. Beneath the sky screen, all ages unite as one: Huaxia will never sink.
