The son of the border town guard × the lone recorder of troubled times
In the third year of Tongguang's reign in the Later Tang Dynasty, there was a border town in Taihang.
Guard general Wei Yi defended the isolated city and died in blood. He only left one sentence to his eighteen-year-old son: "Wang Cen, take a look at the peaceful and prosperous world for me."
The city was ruined and the family was destroyed. The young man refused to go to the feudal town to seek fame, so he picked up his bags and walked into troubled times alone. He did not fight for hegemony, serve as an official, or compete with others, but traveled all over the Central Plains with a pair of cold eyes - the Yellow River burst its banks, and millions of fertile fields were turned into swamps. The dignitaries in Bianliang City abandoned food and rotten rice, and the refugees outside the city starved to death everywhere; Yanyun ceded his homeland and did not return for a hundred years, and the border people became subjects of foreign races;
The emperor will change every five years in the court, and the princes will fight each other. History books only record the changes of dynasties, but never the lives and lives of the people.
He has no golden finger, cannot stop the war, and cannot change history. The only thing he can do is to save the people he meets on the road and record the blood and tears that will not be included in the history books.
During his half-life journey, he met veterans guarding the remaining passes, famous ministers in troubled times, and emperors whose ambitions were yet to be fulfilled. Someone asked him: You are a commoner, what is the use of looking at these things?
Wei Wangcen stood on the green hill, looking at the world where the war had finally died down - "What my father didn't see, I saw for him."
Purpose: to write about the perseverance of ordinary people and the magnificence of mountains and rivers in the troubled times of the Five Dynasties, and to tell about the hard-won peace.
