Episode 17 recap: He Yu Fang was killed in a bombing when Guangzhou fell.
After hearing Jin Hui Rong's words, Kuang Qing Kui naturally found it somewhat unbelievable. However, since Jin Hui Rong wanted to give it a try, Kuang Qing Kui agreed. But before everyone could react, Jin Hui Rong held Kuang Qing Kui at gunpoint. Although it was a period of cooperation between the Nationalists and the Communists, Jin Hui Rong did not allow Kuang Qing Kui to harm the Chen Shan He brothers.
Naturally, Kuang Qing Kui was afraid, and in the end, he said that the matter would end there. Kuang Qing Kui had to leave with his subordinates. Just at that moment, a Japanese bomb exploded in the air again. On their way back, Kuang Qing Kui wondered where things had gone wrong. Liao Liushi was quite honest and handed over all the gold bars and poison he had obtained to Kuang Qing Kui. Kuang Qing Kui also mentioned that his main goal today was not the Chen siblings but to subdue Jin Hui Rong. He just didn't expect to be held hostage by Jin Hui Rong instead.
On their way out, Jin Hui Rong kept persuading the Chen Shan He brothers. The whole city had been bombed and was in ruins. Chen Shan He hurriedly went home to prepare for He Yu Fang, but their house had been leveled. Chen Shan He completely broke down. At first, he still had hope, until he saw the keychain he had given to He Yu Fang that morning hanging from his waist. The memories of being together with He Yu Fang were vivid, but he couldn't even have a final meeting with her.
Kuang Qing Kui only assigned people to keep an eye on the Chen Shan He siblings and currently had no spare time to deal with them. Chen Li Xia and Chen Wei Qing stayed by their brother's side. They knew that He Yu Fang's death was a big blow to him. For years, He Yu Fang had been by Chen Shan He's side. She had never enjoyed a single day of good life, and now she was ruthlessly killed in the war.
When Chen Li Xia heard her brother crying, she wanted to rush in and comfort him but was stopped by Chen Wei Qing. Chen Shan He handed ten gold bars to Liao Liushi, hoping to find out which collaborator had betrayed them and allowed the Japanese to place the bomb near their pharmacy. After all this time, Chen Shan He's eyes were filled with hatred as he arrived at the prison, ready to brutally beat the collaborator, just to seek revenge for his beloved woman.
Chen Wei Qing was also imprisoned for protecting her brother, but fortunately, Chen Li Xia remained unharmed by staying by Jin Hui Rong's side.
The situation in Guangzhou is becoming increasingly tense. Jin Hui Rong and I have also decided to leave first. Before leaving, Chen Li Xia's master entrusted all of her apprentices to him. She originally wanted to stay here, but to her surprise, Jin Hui Rong's master returned in the evening.
Japanese artillery shells were exploding in the sky above them all day long. They were once a couple deeply in love, but they were forcibly separated when they were young and learning opera. At this moment, they didn't want to follow any rules anymore. Jin Hui Rong's master even mentioned wanting to marry Chen Li Xia's master.
What surprised all the people of Guangzhou was that when the city had already fallen, Kuang Qing Kui led his subordinates to claim that they were going to the mountains to carry out guerrilla warfare, not out of patriotism, but because they had firearms and wanted to hide in the mountains for a while and then make a comeback. Before leaving, he even instructed Liao Liushi to go back and kill the Chen Shan He brothers. However, on the way, they encountered the arrival of the Japanese.
At this moment, in the prison, everyone else had already escaped. Chen Shan He and Chen Wei Qing supported each other, and their new goal in their hearts was to kill the Japanese. In 1938, after the Battle of Wuhan began, the defense of the Guangzhou area was weak. The Japanese landed in Dayawan, Guangdong Province, and quickly launched an attack on the Nationalist Army.
Guangzhou began seven years of occupation. Liao Liushi became known as a collaborator among the common people. The members of the interest class had originally planned to leave the port, but they were one step too late, and the Japanese threatened that they couldn't go anywhere. Since He Yu Fang's death, Chen Shan He had been completely lost. Liao Liushi almost shot Chen Shan He, but he was stopped by Ruan Fei Zhou, an acquaintance of Chen Li Xia. It turned out that Ruan Fei Zhou was actually a Japanese spy.
Afterward, Chen Wei Qing also told her sister to keep her distance from the Japanese. Chen Shan He also told his siblings that he was going to start living again from now on. Ruan Fei Zhou went to find Tan Yao Heng, hoping that he would join their cause, but Tan Yao Heng was unwilling and said he didn't want to become a collaborator.
