[Harry Potter + History] Tempered into Steel

The China Special Personnel Administration Bureau was founded in 1976.

From that year onward, the Huaxia mystical community, sealed off for a century, tentatively reached out to the British wizarding world, then at the height of its power, to establish cultural exchanges. Unfortunately, the old capitalist power on the other side of the sea paid no attention to this emerging socialist country, which had only just emerged from internal turmoil.

At the time, even the supposedly enviable opportunity to study in Britain at public expense was a dreaded hardship in the mystical community.

The eleven-year-old children who traveled across the ocean had to face a powerful nation's mockery of a weaker one, as well as decades of Western prejudice against the East. Insulting terms were everywhere, and racial and appearance-based discrimination were commonplace. Under such intense pressure, even bloodline discrimination seemed like nothing.

With foreign threats mounting and troubles brewing at home, a player from another world disrupted the game. In her memoirs, Yao Bi, the second director of the China Special Personnel Administration Bureau's British branch, recalled a strange incident:

"...It happened when I was in fourth year. My close friend, Senior Li Su, was suddenly possessed by a soul from another world."

"When she woke up, she solemnly vowed to change pure-blood wizards' prejudice against us. Her first step was to have us set aside our blood feud and approach things with an open mind, accepting Slytherin with tolerance. She also said she wanted to become Mrs. Snape, reform the platinum-haired little dragon, ship her 'DreHermDraHarVolHar' pairings, and tell us haters to stay away and not interfere with her great plans."

"I didn't understand, but I was deeply shaken. I wasn't angry at her overflowing affection. I only felt sorrow and pain."

"Because at that time, in the courtroom of the British Wizengamot, there was a Chinese anti-drug officer who had been falsely accused by Death Eaters and sent to the execution ground. His only crime was being an ordinary man who had accidentally entered the magical world while pursuing criminals. In the eyes of the pure-blood wizards, whose status was above all others, his life was worth less than an ant's."

"From that moment on, I understood that one day I would use overwhelming power to break the proud backs of the conservative faction and smear my banner with their 'pure' blood."

Leaving home is nothing unusual; I regret having no meritorious service to offer my country.

Don't laugh at my meager bags. I leave only my long sword, leaning against the clear sky.

1. No CP. Three generations of heroines: the first generation, Yao Xueli, is exceptionally intelligent, believes revenge is best served after ten years, and is a study maniac; the second, Yao Bi, is stunningly beautiful, endures in the early story and gets her face-slapping revenge later, and is a workaholic; the third, Yao Huaijin, has a tragic coming-of-age story, comes from a family of loyal patriots, has a deep sense of justice, and is born with the bones of a swordswoman. Individual BE, overall HE.

Theme: In light of all the above, it is clear that the warlords, bureaucrats, comprador class, and big landowners who collude with imperialism, along with the reactionary intellectuals attached to them, are our enemies. The industrial proletariat is the leading force of our revolution. The semi-proletariat and petty bourgeoisie are our closest friends. The wavering middle class may be our enemy on the right and our friend on the left, but we must always remain on our guard and never let them disrupt our ranks.
