Yu Dong died in prison, but his consciousness was reborn in the body of sister Zhen, a student studying abroad in London.
This girl sister, who came to London with her fiancé for the development of the new Republic of China, was unanimously rejected by the international students and had to move into Hugo Alley in the East End of London.
In that small two-story apartment building, she just wanted to live carefully as her sister, abandoning her past life and starting over. However, because of a document traced by the German army, their unrelated lives became entangled. He originally thought that she was just a low-class foreign student from a weak ethnic group, but when facing the German army for interrogation and execution, what he thought of was that Oriental smile.
In the early summer of that year, the young man shot and killed the crown prince, and a month later the Austro-Hungarian Empire declared war on Serbia - and World War I broke out. Cardiff was sent into France to collect German intelligence. After that, France and Germany were in a stalemate, and Cardiff lost contact.
Two years later, China sent 140,000 Chinese workers to Britain and France to assist the rear front. Yu Dong participated as a translator, and then she met the man again in northern France.
Later, he found her in the raging war, and a stray bullet blew up the ruins beside her. He took off his helmet and put it on for her.
She was surprised, thinking that he would no longer be alive.
He replied, "I told myself that only not seeing you would make me give up my life."
Years later, she still often thought of that old photo, in the port of London, where a man was shaking hands with the new German ambassador to the UK.
The photo was published in the Daily Mail the next day
The woman is reborn through time travel, and the man is a local aborigine. The background of World War I is an imaginary story.
