[This story has a happy ending.]
In the twenty-second year of the Republic, not long after Shi Liao met Zhang Mochong.
On a rainy day, after burying his mother, he stood silently in the courtyard, too grief-stricken to deal with the unscrupulous uncle trying to seize the family estate. Then he suddenly heard someone step up behind him, a sharp shard of broken tile in hand, pointed at the man behind him. She said flatly:
"Are you leaving or not?"
Dazed, he turned around. Through the curtain of rain, he saw her.
In the twenty-sixth year of the Republic, Japan invaded Shanghai.
After enduring countless hardships to return from Beiping to Shanghai, he saw her paying no heed to the corpses strewn all around. Using tools shattered by bombs, she silently assembled a handcart.
He called softly to her.
She turned around. Tense with emotion, she said:
"There are too many bodies. I can't carry them all."
His heart and mind crumbled, and he pulled her into his arms.
After a long while, her head buried in his embrace, she began to tremble as if her senses had finally returned.
"I'll help you."

I haven't read such a good novel about the Republic of China in a long, long time. The teacher writes really well. The war background is interspersed with the sincere emotions and warm group portraits between the protagonists. It balances the mood of reading very well. I feel a lot of love and beauty from this book, and absorb a lot of positive energy. The impetuous emotions accumulated in daily life also settle down. Whenever, wherever, whatever the situation, if you have love and persistence in your heart, you can live a good life and go on well. I really like Shi Liao, who is smart, brave, clear about love and hate, and full of vitality. I am also very happy that she has been becoming a better version of herself. The teacher who created such a healing work must be a very warm and gentle person ❤️ grateful to live in a peaceful era. I wish the author and teacher will get better and better. See you in the next story 😚
Warm family ❤️ and reliable lover ❤️ should live well.
Shi Liao is a very brave and sincere baby 😚
Teacher ~ When will the new article be published ~

Happy birthday 😚 Happy every day ❤️
I'm used to seeing it in movies and TV shows, but here Kuroda wakes up so easily just because of a heartbeat, which I'm a little bit not used to.
🤔 It makes my heart beat when I see it
So there's a five-year age difference.
