The Tragedy of Blood and Fire

This is a novel about firefighting. Through real-life cases involving fire suppression and rescue, administrative approvals, inspections, and fire investigations, it portrays a variety of characters and uses mystery and deduction to explore their thoughts. It also draws on Taoist, Buddhist, and Legalist ideas, prompting readers to reflect on firefighting and life.

Great stories come from real life, and even beneath the sunlight there is darkness. Through true cases, the novel shows that when faced with power, justice that holds to its principles will ultimately overcome darkness. It tells the story of firefighters facing different choices after the reforms and transfer of authority: how to make a successful transition from "olive green" to "flame blue," and how to "stay true to the original aspiration and keep the mission in mind" by continuing to build a career in safety management after leaving the service.
