Return of the Beacon Fire

Era background: 1937-1945, the period of the Chinese nation's all-out Anti-Japanese War. Core theme: Through the intertwining fate of six characters with different origins, regions, and classes, this book profoundly interprets the national anti-war spirit that "there is no distinction between north and south, and no one is old or young." It also vividly demonstrates the historical inevitability of the Chinese Communist Party to unite the forces of all parties in a crisis and become the mainstay of the anti-war. Story summary: In 1937, the artillery fire of the Battle of Songhu shocked China, and also involved the fate of six strangers in the torrent of history: · Zhong Shiming, a Red Army blacksmith who came out of the mountains of Jiangxi, carried the hatred of his country and his family, and led a guerrilla team to forge the sharp knives of the New Fourth Army in blood and fire. · Shen Huaijin, a Confucian general from Huangpu on the banks of the Xiang River, bears the honor and shackles of a moral weapon master. In the flesh and blood mill of the frontal battlefield, he struggles to pursue the true value of a soldier. · Xin Mingzhe, a silent student under the fall of Peking, sneaked into the enemy camp incognito and used his life to weave a winning intelligence network in the silent sea of ​​spies. · Luan Chengshan, a rough hero raised in the soil and water of Jiaodong, transformed from a cottage bandit into an anti-Japanese hero who made the Japanese invaders fearful with his bloody spirit and a big sword. · Gu Qinghe, a young lady from an aristocratic family who came from a water town in the south of the Yangtze River, abandoned glitz and used a scalpel as a weapon to protect the last dignity of life in a field hospital. · Pei Shouzhuo, the mainstay of the Eighth Route Army in the Taihang Mountain base area, took root among the masses and used his simple yet far-reaching wisdom to lay a dragnet on the vast battlefield behind enemy lines. They are soldiers, spies, knights, doctors, farmers... They are the epitome of millions of Chinese people in this war. From the dense forests of southern Jiangxi to the ruins of Songhu, from the mountains of southern Anhui to the plains of northern Jiangsu, from the beacon fires of Taihang to the decisive front line, their paths unexpectedly intersected due to the war, and their beliefs merged in the collision. This is not only a story about war, but also an ode to trust, growth and cohesion. It tells a simple truth: when countless small streams rush to the sea with the same belief, they will eventually converge into an unstoppable torrent, washing away all humiliation and rushing towards the dawn of revival. "The Beacon Fire Returns" - Six special roads, a national destiny; hundreds of rivers return to the sea, and the majesty lasts forever. Purpose: Remember history and praise the heroes who defend the country.
