The Beacon of Reincarnation

"The Beacon of Samsara" is a fantasy anti-Japanese war novel that spans time and space. Taking the 1937 Liuhe Village Massacre in East Hebei Province as the starting point, it tells a heart-stirring legend of hatred between family and country and reincarnation. On November 23, 1937, traitors reported on the situation and the Japanese army launched a bloodbath in Liuhe Village. More than a hundred people in the village were massacred. Villager Li Dafa has a family of seven. Only his brothers Li Dequan and Li Fuquan, who went up the mountain to collect firewood, and his daughter-in-law Gong Lina, who fled with their children, survived. The two brothers swore revenge and parted ways - Li Dequan defected to the Eighth Route Army, and Li Fuquan joined the National Army. Both died in battle, and their heroic souls will never be extinguished. Forty-four years later, in 1981, in Chenjiagou, Deshun County, Jiangnan, baby Chen Xiaoxu was born with memories of his previous life. He was covered with scars and bullet-hole-like birthmarks. At the age of three, he could narrate the tragic scenes of the Anti-Japanese War. In the primary school class, he corrected the teacher's lecture on war history and detailed his experience before and after his sacrifice as Li Dequan, which shocked everyone. Media from all walks of life swarmed in. Chen Xiaoxu led everyone back to Liuhe Village and found his fifty-seven-year-old nephew Li Guangcai. The recognition across life and death reveals the fantasy truth about reincarnation and the return of heroic souls, and also brings to light that period of history soaked in blood. The novel blends real history with fantasy elements, and uses sincere and touching writing to write about the unyielding spirit of struggle of the Chinese nation and the memory of the family and country passed down by blood.
