Old Memories of the Floating City

In the Republican era, prosperity and decline existed side by side in the old city. In a turbulent age, could two people still know whether they might stay together?

She, Mu Jiangyin, graduated from the literature department of a teachers' university. She saw education as her calling and was determined to build schools amid the turmoil of the Republic, using education to strengthen the nation.

He, Wen Hanchu, graduated from a military academy and was strong and vigorous. He was willing to give his life for his country, vowing to defend its territory to the death and protect the people of China.

Fate brought these two young, impetuous souls together in a sea of strangers. Their first meeting turned into a heated debate. In an old China where the nation was in decline, should the country be strengthened through science and culture, or should one join the military and give one's life for the nation? What path should they take in this life?

From meeting to understanding, then to falling in love, they crossed countless worldly trials. Serving their country was their lifelong ambition, but after traveling through the years and enduring a lifetime amid the dust of the mortal world, could they meet again when peace and prosperity finally returned?
