Giant River

The Juliu River was called the Juliu River in the Qing Dynasty; the Yakouhai is located at the southern tip of Taiwan, and is a bay stream under the Eluanbi Lighthouse. This book is about an era that is not far away, about the story of two generations from the Juliu River to the Yakouhai. The father who was determined to build China into a modern country, the mother who cried in the pasture, the selfless teacher; the Northeast exiled students who sang "On the Songhua River", the Nankai girl who first tasted literature, and Zhu Guangqian who recited Shelley and Keats with tears in his eyes; the hometown where the iron stone peony bloomed, the surging Juliu River, and the young Zhang Dafei who looked back at the pass in the twilight mountain breeze... For sixty years, the author has read, taught, and written commentaries, but he has always remembered the past - Guo Songling's military advice to resist the warlords in his hometown in the Northeast to strengthen national strength; the heroic sacrifice of the 29th Army in defending North China with blood at the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War; The Nanjing Massacre, the sorrow of the capital city turned into a den of ghosts; the defense of Wuhan, the awakening of the people, the passion of the Chinese people who vowed never to surrender; the motivation to recapture Taierzhuang; the step-by-step climb and trek along the Hunan-Guangxi Road and the Sichuan-Guizhou Road to Chongqing, the hope of survival; the faces of the brave soldiers who swore to defend the country to the death in Sichuan and on the Burma Road, their resolute faces as if they were right before our eyes; those war reports, proclamations, and special editions that called out to compatriots and rallied the people, the ink is still wet in the author's mind... The author tells us about an era buried with great sadness, but also an era that is the most courageous China that all Chinese are proud of, a China that has ever existed!
