Immortal Witness

Three thousand years ago, during the war in the late Shang Dynasty, a priest's son swallowed a mysterious bead and was forgotten by time. His name is Li Zhiwei, and he is the only witness to Chinese civilization. He has seen King Zhou's deer platform burned in the fire, and also seen Li Bai's drunken singing filling Chang'an; he trudged in the snow during the Jingkang Incident, and saw all the eight beautiful eyes in the sound of oars and lights on the Qinhuai River. He was Lin Zexu's unknown aide behind the scenes, Zhuge Liang's last visitor before his death, and the fisherman who persuaded Qu Yuan to "the water in the waves is clear" when he threw himself into the river. He is immortal and immortal, but he understands life and death better than anyone else. In 1912, the snow in the Forbidden City fell on his shoulders. The Qing emperor abdicated, marking the end of a two-thousand-year imperial era. He decided to go west to Kunlun Ruins to find the answer to the end of eternal life. Before leaving, he opened three thousand years of notes and began to recall—— From the setting sun of the late Qing Dynasty to the bright moon of the prosperous Tang Dynasty; from Xianyang of Qin bricks and Han tiles to the ancient times of bronze oracle bones. He thought he was a passerby in history, until he discovered: this mysterious bead did not choose him, but this civilization. The history of a person's civilization, the epic of a civilization and a person. The story flashes back from 1912 to Xia and Shang Dynasties. Three thousand years of witnessing, five thousand years of looking back.
