Introduction to the novel: "The Bloody Zhongtiao Mountain"
"Blood in the Mountains" is an epic of war and love based on real history. Through the perspective of Li Xiuzhen, the widow of a Shaanxi Kuomintang soldier, it affectionately reviews the heroic past that has been forgotten.
The story begins in a mountain village in Shaanxi in 1938. Young Li Xiuzhen made an engagement with her childhood sweetheart Zhao Wangshan, but the latter resolutely followed the army to Zhongtiao Mountain, the barrier of North China, to protect his family and country. Through a letter from home, the two maintained a fragile connection during the war. However, as the war situation became increasingly fierce, Li Xiuzhen, who was worried about her lover's safety, made a bold decision: to go to Zhongtiao Mountain to find her husband in person.
On the smoke-filled front line, the two were briefly reunited. Li Xiuzhen chose to stay, support the wounded in the rear, and fight under the same sky with Zhao Wangshan, who was fighting on the front line. However, the torrent of history ruthlessly sweeps away individual destiny. In 1941, the Japanese army launched a general offensive, and the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain ended in a disastrous defeat for the Chinese army. Zhao Wangshan also died heroically in the tragic battle of Jianshan...
But the story doesn't end there. Li Xiuzhen searched in despair and miraculously found her husband who was seriously injured and on the verge of death. The two got married in the shadow of the war and gave birth to new hope. However, fate played tricks again, and Zhao Wangshan eventually sacrificed his life to cover the transfer of the masses, leaving his life in Zhongtiao Mountain forever.
Decades later, the elderly Li Xiuzhen caressed the faded photos and a captured Japanese bronze button, telling future generations about that blood-soaked history. This is not only a love story about waiting, perseverance and sacrifice, but also a tragic elegy dedicated to all the soldiers who fought bloody battles on Zhongtiao Mountain and sacrificed their lives for the country. The novel profoundly depicts the insignificance and tenacity of individual destiny under the grand national narrative, as well as a historical memory that should not be forgotten.
