In the winter of 1937, inside and outside the city walls of Nanjing, blood was soaked in the smoke of the Six Dynasties.
When the iron hoofs of the Japanese army broke through the Guanghua Gate, Professor Qin Yuanming of Jinling University gave up his last chance to escape, just to protect the thousand-year-old ancient books of Chinese civilization in the library; young nurse Cheng Wanqing used gauze to catch the falling life in the hospital where shrapnel was flying; and the little Samini Xiaohe who was hiding in the cellar of the safe area, the "Diamond Sutra" in her arms was dyed ocher with blood...
In this dying city:
- Intellectuals used pens against bayonets to secretly record the truth about the massacre
- Western missionaries used the Nazi emblem as a shield to build an isolated island of human civilization
- The old candy seller used his body to block the bullet for his granddaughter, and the maltose flowers bloomed in the pool of blood.
"Sir, the scriptures say that all living beings are equal..." Xiao He's trembling fingers crossed the Japanese butcher's knife, "But why do they want to become Shura?"
Based on real historical events, this work uses three intertwined lines of fate to reveal the most tragic and glorious picture of human nature in the Nanjing Massacre - when 300,000 dead souls whimper by the Yangtze River, some light will never be swallowed up by darkness.
Intention: Long live China!
