Introduction to the work "Embers of Fire"
In the war-torn Republic of China, freelance writer Lin Yanzhi and high school student Shen Zhixu met during a rainy alley rescue. At that time, Lin Yanzhi was burdened with an unspoken past and struggled to make a living with his pen; Shen Zhixu was burdened with debts left by his father and struggled in difficulties.
In an accident, Lin Yanzhi was arrested and sent to the military police for writing an article criticizing the atrocities of the Sun Army. Shen Zhixu went all over the place to save him, even risking his life by breaking into a casino. After being rescued, the two were forced to leave Yucheng and traveled to Lincheng and Wucheng. However, on the way to escape, they resolutely joined the Anti-Sun Guerrillas - Lin Yanzhi used a pen as a blade to convey information, while Shen Zhixu defended the country with a gun and faced artillery fire.
The ups and downs of the troubled times made the love hidden deep in their hearts gradually clear. From the dependence on mutual support to the attachment of life and death, they held each other's hands tightly in the smoke of gunfire, hiding their love in every parting advice and every hug when they reunited. However, the gears of fate never stopped turning. In the artillery fire of the Wucheng Battle, in order to cover the retreat of their teammates and protect each other's cherished homeland, Lin Yanzhi and Shen Zhixu chose to sacrifice their lives. When they looked at each other and smiled for the last time, their love and faith were frozen in the beacon fire, leaving only a legend about perseverance and sacrifice that shimmers like embers in the years.
Purpose: Taking the love of beauty between Lin Yanzhi and Shen Zhixu as the core, it shows the sincere emotions that transcend gender and secularity in a special era. The two go from mutual redemption to dependence on life and death, interpreting the tenacity of "love" in suffering.
