Life is a series of crossroads.
This is true for everyone, without exception.
What kind of decision was made at every critical moment.
In fact, it will determine your life for a long time to come.
Almost everyone...
Everyone is regretting some of the choices they made.
Again, without exception.
Because our eyes are always focused on the chosen present.
But in our minds, we are all fantasizing about the past when we had no choice.
I always think that if I had made a different choice, I would be living a different way now and would not have to endure such hardships?
But there is no "if" in life. Although there seem to be many crossroads with choices, if you look back from the results, everyone has a straight path.
This road connects birth and death. There are countless sceneries on the road, good or bad, it all has to do with you.
Guo Linxian lived a privileged life since childhood and had progressive ideas. She attended a church girls' school during the Republic of China period and invited authentic foreign embassy staff to her home to teach foreign languages.
She is quite proficient in English, French and Russian.
Not to mention the piano and other musical instruments that Shanghai socialites often use to show off. Since she was a child, her father also hired famous teachers to teach her at home.
Logically speaking, such a young lady of the Republic of China should look for a wealthy young man of equal status, creating a story of a powerful alliance between the wealthy families of the Republic of China.
But times change and fate is unpredictable.
In the war-torn era when the country was occupied and the people were massacred.
When Shanghai fell, Guo Linxian was separated from her family and was about to be forcibly taken away from the French Concession by the Japanese gendarmerie.
A figure as bright as light leaped out, and with a few gunshots, the Japanese gendarmerie was eliminated.
This was her first meeting with Liu Guopeng, an underground member of the Chinese Communist Party disguised as a Shanghai rich man.
After saving Guo Linxian, Liu Guopeng did not linger at all. He quickly sent her back to the safe French Concession and left.
Just like the savior hero in martial arts novels, he does justice without asking for anything in return, and he is so handsome that even his departing back view is something Guo Linxian can eat with her meal when she has no appetite for dinner.
After that, Guo Linxian often hung out at the place where she met Liu Guopeng, looking forward to the opportunity to meet him again.
Soon, fate visited her again, and a big case occurred in the French Concession.
Several high-ranking officials of the Japanese puppet government who were secretly negotiating cooperation were shot in public by the underground Communist Party of China in Paramount.
Most of the underground party members were shot dead on the spot by the gendarmerie.
However, a few wounded soldiers escaped and hid in various concessions.
It was here that Guo Linxian met Liu Guopeng again. Liu Guopeng was an injured underground member of the Chinese Communist Party who was being hunted down by the Japanese for killing two high-ranking officials of the Japanese puppet government.
"Follow me now!"
Guo Linxian took him into her Studebaker car without any hesitation.
She rushed home as fast as she could and hid him secretly in her boudoir.
Liu Guopeng was shot in the left shoulder.
She tore off his coat and shirt and saw the bloody wound and the bullet embedded in the flesh.
She cried!
I feel bad for him.
"Thank you! But I have to go. If I stay here, your family will be in trouble. The Japanese now dare to come and search even the concession openly."
Liu Guopeng, who had regained some consciousness, insisted on leaving, but was held back tightly by Guo Linxian.
"You saved me, and I want to save you now. We are saving one life for another, so don't worry. My father is Guo An, a famous banker and businessman in Shanghai. The Japanese dare not come to search our house."
Guo Linxian protected him heroically, even hiding it from everyone in her family.
She hid a grown man in her own boudoir and didn't even allow the servants to enter the room to clean it.
He even made an excuse that he was not feeling well and asked a doctor from the church hospital to come to his home to remove the bullet.
It took two full months to help him heal his injuries.
A lot can happen in two months, and it can also determine the lives of many people.
When Liu Guopeng resolutely leaves the Guo family and returns to the organization to carry out a life-threatening assassination mission.
Guo Linxian's heart also went with him. She took the initiative to cover for Liu Guopeng and raise funds in the Shanghai Concession.
He even joined the party secretly under the introduction of Liu Guopeng.
Until Liu Guopeng's identity was exposed again and his appearance was known to the secret service of the Japanese puppet government.
He had to quit his spy work, retreat from southern Jiangsu, and take the train back to Yan'an.
After further study at the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University in Yan'an, he served as a staff officer in the Political Department of the Eighth Route Army, then as a brigade commander, deputy division commander, political commissar, division commander, deputy army commander, and army commander...
Until the great counter-offensive of the War of Liberation, when he led his troops into Shanghai.
The first thing he did was to run to Guo Mansion to find her.
Unexpectedly, all the people in Guo Mansion ran away and fled to Hong Kong on a ship carrying their belongings.
Only she, at the moment before the boat set sail, ignored the obstruction of her father and brother and ran back to Guo Mansion against the flow of people.
She wasn't going anywhere, just here, waiting for him.
Because he said that as long as he was alive, he would come back to find her.
When he was wearing the PLA uniform and followed Marshal Chen Yi, he liberated Shanghai, the largest city in the Far East.
In the Guo Mansion, he once again saw the beautiful figure that had been haunting him.
Eyes met.
They all laughed.
Then they hugged each other tightly.
