While leafing through her great-grandmother's memoirs, Xue Wanning saw Li Xingshu for the first time in a photograph.
Li Xingshu was aloof and taciturn, worked for the Juntong, and was ruthless and decisive in his methods.
One night, Xue Wanning dreamed she had become her great-grandmother, who shared her name, and traveled back through time four times.
First journey back, 1931.
Li Xingshu came from a poor family. Silent and shy, he was taken in by the Master of the Xue household. When he saw her, he hid his right hand, covered in chilblains.
Second journey back, 1935.
As people rallied to save the nation, a thousand petitioners gathered. Xue Wanning climbed over a wall, and he carefully caught her.
Third journey back, 1937.
Before drawing the gunfire away by herself, Li Xingshu told her, "Don't make a sound."
Fourth journey back, 1943, in the depths of winter.
When they met again, Xue Wanning raised her eyes from beneath her umbrella and saw his sharp features and crisp military uniform.

Keep moving forward. Don't look back.
For the nation, for our beliefs, for the vast and endless winter winds of four hundred million people.
