"They think that there are only three steps to tame a nation:"
1. Use opium to numb the muscles and bones → On the Humen tidal flats, a fifteen-year-old shipyard apprentice hid a bloody gear
2. Tighten the throat with a treaty → In the Chunfan Building of Shimonoseki, the female translator's rouge dyed three lines of cipher text
3. Crush the spine with guns → Under the city wall of Jinling, the foreign trader turned his gun on his caravan
"But I forgot that there is always a fire burning under the sleeping dragon scales."
From opium boxes in 1839 to steel guns in 1949,
A group of little people who have not been recorded in history books,
Stubbornly passing on the spark in the cracks of the times——
Someone embroidered warship drawings into the lining of wedding dresses.
Some people use abacus beads to calculate the formula for the survival of a nation.
There is also a silent majority,
In the era of kneeling to survive,
Choose to die standing.
Purpose: "The weight of history lies not in the machinations of princes and generals, but in the silent backbone of the unknown."
