Fei Mingguan, the only daughter of a Shanghai warlord, was a genius in architectural aesthetics who returned from studying abroad. She measured the breath of mountains and rivers with drawings and reshaped oriental cities with "fluid naturalism".
Cedric, a cellist of mixed Chinese and European descent, is a pale and gentle mathematical poet, deconstructing classical movements among the folds of visions and stars.
When they met in the Golden Hall of Vienna, the strings split their souls, and their pupils reflected the star paths of each other's fate.
From the split sun of Angkor Wat to the blue dome of Santorini, from the exchange of poetry manuscripts under the Byzantine dome to the deciphering of star maps in the Dunhuang Grottoes, two geniuses reconstructed eternity in the ruins of civilization. After returning to China, she amazed the world with her suspended theater, and he shocked the European continent with "Oriental Polyphony"; she and Lin Huiyin worked together to build cornice geometry, and he used quantum formulas to illuminate lost civilizations.
When the smoke of gunfire spread over the Bund, the warlord's daughter, who wore fragrant clouds and gauze, held a gun as a pen, and played a bloody chess game at the Kuomintang and Communist Party negotiation table; a mixed-race musician turned his piano bow into a scepter, building a peaceful Tower of Babel in troubled times.
This is the epic of roses and concrete, the harmony of bows and guns - when the Forbidden City and the Bauhaus dance together, when all the scars bloom into flowers of civilization in the palms of their hands, they will eventually rewrite the latitude and longitude of the continental shelf in the name of love.
Purpose: The Creation of Civilization in the Republic of China
