In the July 15 massacre, the Linjiang Detachment lost a police detective, but he was branded a corrupt cop by the public security system. To this day, the killer remains at large. Detachment leader Li Jingran tirelessly pursues justice, only to be mysteriously shot and killed just as the truth comes to light.
He thought he and the truths that had yet to be uncovered would be buried together in a dark corner forever. Then he opened his eyes and found himself in another world...
[Clear Moon and Gentle Breeze] (Teaching in a mountain village) The seekers who searched through the dark night never saw the dawn. It left its mark only on blood-soaked mud. Reborn, he clutches hope in the depths of despair.
[Kunlun Boundary Marker] (Border defense soldier) The bright red flag bears the words of a steadfast ideal, and its shining red star warms the desolation of the long night.
[Daylight Breaks] (War correspondent) He traveled with the wind and died to welcome a breath of fresh air, his life blazing brightly at the end of the century.
[With the Light, Among the Dust] (Police detective captain) In the end, he traveled alone to a gathering of death, only to break free beneath a deluge of blood from the prison that held back the dawn. Treading over mountains of corpses and seas of blood, he came seeking the light once more.
Li Jingran: I walked alone through the long, muddy darkness. At the perilous end of a thorn-strewn road, I sought a bright future for her. I love and respect her, and would give her everything I have.
This is a patriot's journey of confession.
