Features: This book is an outrageous story of "love without revolution" that unfolds between special characters at a special time. Towards the end of the war of resistance against Japan, the director of the "Manchurian Film Studio" (Manying), run by the Japanese in Changchun, wanted to change his direction and shoot a film titled "Green Clothes," inspired by the Book of Songs. He promoted the Eurasian stunt actress Yu Zi to the leading role. The Japanese director argued with a Sino-Russian mixed-blood teenager, Yuan Qiaoshou, in the orchestra, and Yu Zi, tactless as she was, stood up for the boy. Despite their age difference, they fell in love. When the Soviet Union bombed Changchun, Yu Zi was branded a traitor for being employed by "Manying," and the boy was accused of being a Russian collaborator when he defended Yu Zi. They were arrested one after another and imprisoned. The flames of war in Northeast China burned for years, and Yu Zi and the boy risked their lives, searching for each other amidst ruins and besieged cities. Such a tragic love story between a woman and a man, with a significant age gap, has never appeared in Chinese literature, nor has there been such passionate care for "ethnic marginal people." This book creates a new text, with the author's creative process, research, and publication process all condensed within it. It is a dynamic book that deeply captures the hearts of readers.
