Features: This book tells the tragic story of Ku Xia, a female cultural worker member, during the Korean War. Ku Xia, a female high school student from a landlord family, joined the army and became a member of the division's cultural troupe at the age of 16, recommended by Captain Lin Youliang. Before entering North Korea for combat, under the mobilization of Lin Youliang and various organizations, Ku Xia reluctantly married General Zhai Yuxiang, a heroic veteran of the Red Army. The latter agreed to Ku Xia's three rules. In the final chaos before the armistice in 1953, Zhai Yuxiang, Lin Youliang, and Ku Xia's fellow cultural troupe members one by one sacrificed their lives. This is another powerful work of war literature by the author following "Black Snow" and "Blood of the Han River."
