    Lin Guangyao picked up his pen and added a line below the hastily written suicide note: "Wang Tianfeng, head of the Military Intelligence Bureau's Shanghai station. Died for his country on the 25th day of the first month of 1939. Does anyone remember him?" He put down his pen, folded the letter, and placed it at the bottom of the drawer. There, locked away, was another piece of paper with four lines of poetry: "Where can a drifting duckweed find its anchor in this chaotic world? Only the plum blossoms reflected in the snow. Do not say that the road ahead is full of frost and snow, for our hearts are connected by a single thread of understanding." The ink had faded somewhat. He gently stroked those lines, as if stroking an old dream that could never be returned to. Outside the window, the lights of No. 76 Across the street were still bright. Behind one of the windows, a woman in a black uniform was looking down, flipping through the files she needed to process that night. She did not look up. He did not wait. He simply closed the drawer, stood up, and walked to the window. The night in Shanghai was always so unfathomably black. But he knew that even the darkest night would eventually give way to dawn. I just wonder if those who never wake up again after dawn will feel any regret. Lin Guangyao stood there for a long time. Long enough for the moon to move from the top of the sycamore tree to the eaves. Long enough for the clock to strike eleven. Long enough for him to finally say to himself: Zhou Wenhao, I've finished writing your poem for you. Wang Tianfeng, I've preserved your name for you. I'm still walking the path you walked.

His grassroots rise to power is realistic, compelling, and highly immersive. The book's style is a blend of warmth and coolness. On one hand, there's the gentle, everyday life of ordinary people, with countless lighthearted and hilarious moments arising from character interactions. On the other hand, there's a unique and intense martial arts clash, where martial arts masters who cultivate ancient internal energy face off against modern firearms in head-on battles. The world-building is novel and distinctive, the battle scenes are visually stunning, and the fight sequences are packed with exciting moments.

    It's not based on the "Bright Sword" genre, but it's even more exciting and engaging. It begins with an individual's resistance against the Japanese, then a small team kills the Japanese, and finally, the main force confronts the enemy head-on. It's a unique, action-packed war novel without a system or fantastical elements; it features an ensemble cast. The protagonist is reborn into a card world and uses cards to fight the Japanese. The beginning is a bit grievous, even tear-jerking, but the plot becomes increasingly captivating and exciting as it unfolds.
