Miao Miao Dan (Myanmar: Million Jadeite) is the daughter of Myanmar's largest jade merchant and a mixed-race Burmese-Chinese (Hokkien: Bannanfan) who married away to Gulangyu Island in Xiamen in pursuit of love. Japan invaded Xiamen and her husband disappeared. She was forced to flee Xiamen when her fetus was nine months old. She was separated from her eldest daughter and her family on the way, and she fled to Nan'an with her six-year-old daughter, accompanied by a maid. From fine food and clothing to hunger and cold, the arrival of the Japanese invaders made Miao Miaodan taste the misfortune of women all over the world. After the founding of New China, Miaomiaodan ushered in a new life, but the sequelae of the war still affected her, and people mistakenly thought it was the "Fan" nature of "Fan Po". The name of the biological father of Chen Zhiguang, the eldest son of Miao Miaodan, has always been a mystery in the article. It is like a chain, one link tightly linked to the other. Chen Zhiguang was an outstanding person and had the opportunity to join the Communist Party of China, but his biological father's history was shelved several times because of political scrutiny. The organization and family members tried every means to test her, but in the end they couldn't get Miao Miaodan to speak. Miao Miaodan would rather sacrifice Chen Zhiguang's future than tell Chen Zhiguang the name of his biological father. After Miao Miaodan passed away, her grandson Chen Niannian chose to study at Xiamen University in order to uncover the secrets of her grandparents.
In the novel, the anti-Japanese activists of Xiamen University, represented by Chen Shitong and his wife, Miao Miaodan's best friends from China and Myanmar, rose up to resist and played a passionate and tragic anti-Japanese song. Burmese overseas Chinese, represented by Lin Meizhu, the mother of Miao Miao Dan, actively supported the motherland's anti-Japanese war at a heavy cost, demonstrating the patriotism of overseas Chinese.
Purpose: Let more people understand the history of the Japanese invasion and occupation of Xiamen, let more people understand the tragedy of the Japanese invasion and occupation of Xiamen, the death of families and the separation of wives and children, and let more people remember the heroic deeds of patriotic overseas Chinese in resisting Japan.
