Cherry Blossoms Under the Smoke

The twenty-sixth year of the Republic of China. Jinling, the sky is full of flames. That was the darkest page in the history of the Chinese nation and the beginning of the bloody struggle of countless heroic sons and daughters. Long Zhan, a young officer who returned from studying in Japan, studied at the Imperial Military Academy in Tokyo where the cherry blossoms bloomed. There was his youthful dream, his original intention to study tactics and long to build a strong army and serve the country. However, when the iron hoof of war shattered the tranquility of his homeland, he wore a military uniform and carried a rifle, returning from the romance of cherry blossoms to the cruelty of gunpowder smoke. Former classmates have become mortal enemies on the battlefield, and the former campus has now become the frontline of aggression. Long Zhan, burdened with the severe pain of his broken home and country, fought back in the ruins and street battles of Nanjing, becoming the most terrifying nightmare in the eyes of the Japanese army - the "Jedi Wolf Warrior". Besides this cruel war, there is also a cherry blossom that is destined to wither. Japanese girl Jiang Miko came to China with her pure kindness and longing for the future. She doesn't understand politics or war, she only recognizes the gentle Long Zhan who once lived under the cherry blossom tree. But the flames of war crushed all tenderness. When she stood in the hostile camp and faced the Chinese soldier whose eyes were red with blood, the cherry blossoms in her eyes were instantly stained with blood. On one side is the soul of a soldier who protects his family and country and fights bloody battles to the end, and on the other is the love between sons and daughters that cannot be cut off in the flames of war. Under the smoke-filled Jinling City, how does Long Zhan protect the people in a desperate situation? How do cherry blossoms and wolf smoke coexist? This is an epic story about hatred, redemption and desperate love that took place in 1937.
