In August 1945, the Soviet Union declared war on Japan. Anti-Union scout Lin Yuan parachuted into the rear of the Kwantung Army with the Soviet army, and encountered Katya, a female Soviet officer, and Kazuko, a Japanese girl who escaped from Unit 731. The three of them traveled through the flames of war and ruins, guarding the evidence of bacterial weapons, and made a difficult choice between massacre and redemption. With a cold and restrained writing style, the novel explores the truth of war and the boundaries of human nature - no one can escape unscathed, but some people choose to remember.
Purpose: Reflection on war and the boundaries of human nature - Through the experiences of three young people from different camps in the "August Storm" operation, it focuses on witnessing war atrocities, thinking about crime and punishment, and questioning "remember the suffering and then live on."
