A Life of Drama and Fire

This is a true family epic in which the female spirit travels through time and space. Along the Ganjiang River, five generations of people have passed on the tradition of playing with fire, spanning a century. It does not shy away from the crushing hardships those hard years had on ordinary people, but more importantly - it truly records how your grandmother, grandmother, and mother survived. In the late Qing Dynasty, Yan Xiuying, a troupe girl, lost her mother at the age of six. Her mother left her a dagger, a playbook, a pair of silver bracelets, and the words: "Pounce forward, don't fall back." Time and fate passed her over again and again. Learn to play secretly, become a prostitute, elope, run away from the dock, go to jail, be wanted, escape, lose a husband, remarry with a child, rebel against the Japanese invaders, and have a miscarriage. She settled down in a small town, forging iron, suppressing bullies, and fighting squires. The hammer has been passed down for three generations, with three carvings. She has been rushing forward all her life, leading four generations of the Kuang family out of the quagmire.
