In 2013, Shen Yanning, a freshman in the Chinese Department, entered university with the "Selected Works of Zhaoming" left by his father and his unfulfilled academic dreams. In the daily life of military training, classes, and club activities, she met the enthusiastic and bold squad leader Zhao Tieniu, the gentle and meticulous Chen Sumei, the quirky Chen Yutong, and the senior Xu Mingxiu of the Department of Mechanical Engineering who took classes across majors.
From the oblique rhythms of "The Enlightenment of Rhythm" to the literary theory of "The Literary Mind and the Carving of Dragons", from the classical metaphors of game props to the slogans of the "Book of Songs" on the military training field, this group of young people interpret the modern vitality of traditional culture in a unique way. The wonderful resonance between Shen Yanning and Xu Mingxiu in ancient books, machinery and poetry has brought the two closer to each other and to the unresolved obsessions in their hearts.
When the yellowed pages overlap with the handwriting of youth, and when thousands of years of words awaken in young souls, they will eventually understand that true inheritance is not only the accumulation of knowledge, but also the cultural genes flowing in the blood, and the spiritual resonance that spans time and space.
