Cangyan Beacon Fire

"Cangzhou Secret War: The War in the Green Shazhu" is set in Cangzhou, Hebei from 1938 to 1945, and tells the story of ordinary people's awakening to resist Japan in this land that relies on canals and salt industry. After the Tianjin-Puzhou railway explosion triggered a massacre by the Japanese army, various characters such as Hui boxer Ma Zhenbang, canal boatman Chen Tiesuo, boat gang girl Hongli, medicine shop shopkeeper Zhou Yanbai, etc., Gathered at the "Canglangtang" underground transportation terminal secretly established by the Hebei-Shandong Border Military Region. They cleverly used Cangzhou's regional characteristics to build an anti-Japanese war network: they used canal surges and boat lights to send messages, used saltworks brine to make utensils, and used martial arts incisions and mosque sutras to encrypt messages. The salt owl led the salt workers to seize ordnance, the fisherman girl used the wedding to eliminate the enemy chieftain, the shadow puppet troupe hid instructions, and the blind artist used the drum book to convey information... These unknown people performed the legend of underground struggle: the radio station in the ancient tomb sent Morse code, the boatman under the ice dug through the enemy ship, the kite carried copper wire to break the signal blockade, Chinese medicine prescriptions, account books and even wedding and funeral rituals were all used as weapons to kill the enemy. From the fire in the saline-alkali land in 1939 to the Qingshazhang counterattack in 1945, they built the backbone of the nation with "the glory without tombstones" in the light of the Hui detachment's swords, the blasting of the Bohai Bay, and the shuttle network of tunnels. The final chapter spans decades. The oars, mines, and balalaikas from that year are put into the Tibetan Memorial Hall. The memory of the beacon fire in Qingshazhang is transformed into the sound of the canal waves, and is passed down from generation to generation as an eternal spiritual coordinate.
