In the parade of the National Defense War in 1916, Zhang Yifan (Zhang Yifan), a high school student who traveled back in time, met Li Yitong, who followed Sun Yat-sen, and also found his original friend Tian Xiwei - three girls with their own passions, and they fell into the flames of the Republic of China. During the New Culture Movement, Zhang Yifan and Tian Xiwei were admitted to Peking University and studied under Li Dazhao, and touched the spark of thought during the May 4th Movement; in the morning light of Whampoa Military Academy, Li Yitong peeked at Tian Xiwei who was practicing gunfighting, and Zhang Yuqi had a secret love for her step-sister Qi Wei, and the youth's worries were intertwined with the ideals of her family and country.
The gunshots of the Northern Expedition were fired, and the differences of faith: Zhang Yifan rushed to the front line as a member of the Communist Party, Li Yitong led the Kuomintang army to the north, Tian Xiwei followed Zhu De and participated in the Nanchang Uprising, and the former partners finally became rivals; in the snow of the Northeast, Zhang Yifan rescued Li Xueqin of the Northeast Army, who was seriously injured, went from being disgusted to staying with each other, and the two were side by side on the battlefield behind enemy lines; Qi Wei and Zhang Yuqi abandoned Beiyang and joined the Eighth Route Army, but one died of torture by the Japanese army, and the other fell off a cliff while hugging the enemy, and their unspoken love was buried in the mountains and rivers.
From the blood of the Nanjing Massacre, to the smoke of the Changsha Battle, to the cheers of the Founding Ceremony, they fell in love, broke up, and sacrificed in the folds of history - Li Yitong fell under the Japanese sword to protect the people, and the unsent Love poems are stained with blood; Tian Xiwei died in Changsha while clutching an old button; Li Xueqin left half a love letter and died in liquidation; Zhang Yifan survived the War of Resistance and Liberation, but during the bombing to resist U. S. Aggression and aid Korea, he stayed in his old home in the Northeast forever. The flames of war burned out for half their lives, and their names were hidden in the shadow of the Republic of China.
Intention: If the country is not strong, it will be beaten if it falls behind!
