A few years ago, Lao Xu was a well-known and resounding "old reporter" among reporters in the provincial capital. Why is he called old? First, because of his age, Xu, who is in his forties, usually carries a large shoulder bag, which is filled with all the necessary equipment for interviews: interview notebooks, mini tape recorders, a small and practical Olympus fully automatic camera, etc.; Whether in the city or in the countryside, as long as he encounters valuable news, Xu will dive into it. Sometimes I ride a broken bicycle that no one picked up on the roadside, sometimes I take a shuttle bus; when I go to the countryside for interviews, I often even ride on tractors and motorcycles, and my enthusiasm for reporting news is no less than that of a young man in his early twenties, which is very rare among young people who are originally in the "youth rice" reporter profession;

This article is a military-themed novel that describes what happened to an old Red Army unit within 12 hours of the night before it received an order to adjust its organization and was about to be demobilized and diverted to prepare for deployment. The novel tells the story of every moment between comrades-in-arms and the children of soldiers and their families in this old Red Army unit that is facing disbandment. They also have dreams, but as soldiers they understand better that a strong military is related to a strong country; they also have affection for their children, but as soldiers they know how to be subtle and deep; they also have selfish thoughts, but as soldiers they value honor and dedication more; they also have beautiful yearnings, but as soldiers they are more willing to persevere in loneliness. They are just a group of simple soldiers, who have never done anything earth-shattering; they are just a group of ordinary soldiers, with no more heroic words. Facing this "big test", they used practical actions to write a good image of soldiers in the new era.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, China faced "great changes unseen in three thousand years." In this era of transformation, scholars who cared about the fate of the nation, the country, and themselves launched various ideological revolutions and cultural movements in response to the Western trend. The author reconstructs the collective image of scholars in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China through a detailed investigation of student life, textbooks, the "Manchu" revolution and other issues. He attempts to explore several aspects of these scholars' lives, actions and moods at that time, and explains the depth and pain of change in China in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China.
