    "When loyalty becomes the original sin and betrayal becomes survival, who can keep the last bit of humanity in troubled times?" - A spy war epic that combines time travel, suspense and feelings of family and country. It reveals the darkest corner of Shanghai during the Anti-Japanese War and sees how a soul torn apart by fate grows from a chess piece to a chess player. In the twenty-sixth year of the Republic of China, in late autumn in Shanghai, the sky was sickly, leaden gray and turbid. North of the Suzhou River, the once prosperous Zhabei and Hongkou have been reduced to scorched earth. The broken walls and ruins are like the bones of giant beasts, silently telling the cruelty of war. Only the public concession on the south bank of the river, relying on its fragile cloak of neutrality, still maintains a deformed, drunken hustle and bustle. The neon lights are flashing and the jazz music is booming, like a thin curtain trying to block the blood and destruction that is so close at hand. The Sihang Warehouse stands on the edge of this curtain, like a wedge, nailed to the north bank of the Suzhou River. The hidden front that unfolded gradually opened... And there was also the love and hatred between the princess of the special high school, the rose of the military command, and the flower of the red party.

    "Finally, there is a novel about the Republic of China in which the male and female protagonists are not Tianlong people. They are full of family and country feelings, and their living conditions are very realistic. The characters are well portrayed, emphasizing love and justice, and being loyal to the country. I also like the ending. It is the ending of a dream!! The folk customs are also very vivid and meticulous, and the latter part has the feeling of Wang Zengqi's prose. Rong County really has many soldiers who protect the family and the country during special periods. Many of the articles are very realistic and have a sense of substitution." Book review
