Dusk and the fading of winter turn the entire city into an ambiguous dark red. This is an indifferent and mysterious color, often not as thorough as blue or white. But it is uncertain and unpredictable.

Under this fleeting halo, the empty campus of Tianjin Zhili Women's Normal School seemed a little lonely. However, this silent atmosphere did not last long. Gradually, there were people in twos and threes wearing the latest styles.

Fashionable, young students walked from the classroom to the campus. These female students in normal schools are, to a certain extent, the beauties of heaven in China in this era.

Wearing a white woolen coat, Lin Xi looked like a crystal clear princess in a fairy tale. She gently smoothed the wrinkles on the skirt of the coat and walked on campus holding a few books.

After leaving the teaching building, Lin Xi's beautiful phoenix eyes suddenly flashed with a strange look. She stood there, looking at the young man who appeared in front of the teaching building with a very uncertain look. The young man was wearing

Wearing a second lieutenant uniform, he even held a bouquet of roses in his hand.

The fiery red roses against the ink-colored military uniforms were like red flowers lining the leaves. Holding the flowers, Liu Zishan felt that his palms were full of sweat. He looked around, and it seemed that everyone was looking at him.

Some girls walked past him with envious snickers on their faces.

What does college mean?

Conscious of more knowledge, more... Of course, for young people, the most important point is - free love. Even four years ago, those young people who joined the revolution, for them,

The liberation of the nation may be important, but the revolution is also their move against arranged marriage and the pursuit of free love.

After the founding of the Republic of China, the new concept of free love broke through the feudal marriage system of more than two thousand years in one fell swoop. New men and women, liberated from the shackles, couldn't wait to resist ethics and ethics in various ways. After the Revolution of 1911, there was such a saying in China

The ballad: "Revolutionary world. New style; women are liberated and free to choose their son-in-law."

However, the new trend of independent marriage did not become a new trend across the country as soon as the revolution was successful. In the early days of the Republic of China, free love was still limited to more developed areas and among more educated people. Love in universities was free and there was no interference from family members.

. So college life is always desirable, but in this era, when Confucianism has influenced this nation for thousands of years, although free love is protected by law, on university campuses, even the boldest

Students will also stop at being polite. They may be passionately in love or even live together, but they will not show their caring side in front of others, let alone talk about anything, holding a large bouquet of flowers in their hands, standing in front of everyone.

Although he was extremely uncomfortable with the sight of the people around him, Liu Zishan still resisted the urge to run away and stood here.

"This is the battlefield..."

On the way here after buying flowers, Liu Zishan kept using words like these to encourage himself, but the sweat on his forehead under his military hat betrayed his nervousness.

Looking at Liu Zishan, Lin Xi's pretty face turned red. She never thought that this piece of wood... actually gave her flowers, even though she longed to receive the bouquet of flowers in front of everyone, and then hug him with a kiss.

Walking around the campus with flowers in her arms, but suddenly, after realizing that Liu Zishan had become the focus of everyone's attention, Lin Xi found that she could not muster the courage to walk over. She even wanted to escape.

But when she saw Liu Zishan standing there, she couldn't move. In one week, the expeditionary force was about to go out, and Liu Zishan was in the expeditionary force. He would go out with the army. He would embark on the expedition.

Journey, he………….

Suddenly, looking at the boy in front of her who was only two years older than her, tears fell down her cheeks.

She is crying!

Seeing that the girl he had liked since he was very young was crying, Liu Zishan hurriedly walked over.

"Xiao Xi, what's wrong?"

"No...it's okay!"

But while she was talking, Lin Xi started to cry loudly, and even threw herself into Liu Zishan's arms regardless of etiquette. At first, the girls around them laughed when they saw this scene, but when they saw the quite

When I picked up the epaulettes of the handsome officer, I seemed to understand something.

Some sentimental girls looked at the two of them. For some reason, their eyes felt hot, and tears fell down involuntarily.

They are no strangers to the European battlefield. In fact, in the past two months, in Tianjin cinemas and open-air news movies, you can see news movies about the European battlefield. There is no poetic and picturesque atmosphere about the battlefield.

, there is just mud, corpses, flesh and blood, and cannonballs.

And now, the Chinese Expeditionary Force is about to embark on an expedition to Europe. Behind this seemingly glorious scene, what kind of sacrifices will the soldiers make?

For the status of the country!

For the dignity of the nation!

To win the respect of the world!

China decided to send its best army troops!

Go to Europe!

Go to Europe! Soldiers will use their lives to win the respect of the world for our country and our nation! From now on, no one will dare to look down on China!

Looking at the students hugging her boyfriend tightly on campus, Lu Bicheng, the founder of the Zhili Women's Normal School, thought of those impassioned speeches she heard in Beijing, perhaps, those so-called

College students receiving higher education can participate in the war for China on campus and on the streets, cheer for the upcoming expedition of the expeditionary force, and cheer for the improvement of China's status, but have they ever experienced the cruelty of war?

Maybe, soon... this young second lieutenant officer will die on the French front line, and what about this girl? She will never wait for the return of her beloved boy in her life. She may wait her whole life, or maybe...

At this time, the only female secretary in the Presidential Palace looked at the young man and woman, and something seemed to be touched deep in her heart. For Lu Bicheng, who had been smart and precocious since childhood, but lost his father at a young age and had his family property taken away from him.

, her husband's family broke off the engagement, and after a series of blows, she could only live a life of dependence on others. Such an experience was enough to destroy a fragile soul, but it failed to stop her from moving forward. As early as more than ten years ago, she had written "

"Ta Kung Pao", known as "China's first female editor". Because of her outstanding talent and outstanding literary talent. She is known as "the first person in three hundred years" for her lyrics. What's even more rare is that she has the courage and talent to participate in

She founded Beiyang Women's Public School and became "the first Chinese woman to take charge of school affairs." After the Republic of China, she got involved in politics and became the president's secretary.

"Women should also make their own contribution in this war!"

Looking at the background of the girl and the officer, Lu Bicheng thought in her heart. Deep in her heart, she despised the Chinese students. After they encouraged ordinary people to go to the front line, they turned around and walked away, as if the war had nothing to do with them.

They can use their mouths to tell the world that they should be patriotic, and they can use their mouths to tell everyone how patriotic they are. But when the country is involved in the war and the farmers pick up weapons, they become just spectators again, and it seems that everything

It's like it has nothing to do with them.

"I can tell those people with actions. When their patriotism is just words, I have already taken them to Europe..."

Suddenly, Lu Bicheng's eyes flashed with enthusiasm, and a name appeared in her mind...

"Florence Nightingale?"

Looking in surprise at the woman he had always admired in front of him, Yuan Kewen was stunned. He did not expect that he would say such a name. Yuan Kewen was very unfamiliar with this name and had never even heard of it.

"That's right, it's Florence Nightingale!"

When mentioning this name, Lu Bicheng's eyes flashed with an unspeakable look.

"She was famous for her nursing work in Crimea and was known as the "Goddess of the Lamp". She was the world's first real female nurse. She pioneered the nursing career and died on March 16, 1908, at the age of 88.

She was awarded the Freedom of the City of London Award. In the 1950s, Britain, France, Turkey and Russia fought the Crimean War. The mortality rate of British field soldiers was as high as 42%. She tried her best to fight with the British side to open a field hospital in

Hospital, providing medical care to soldiers. She analyzed mountains of military files. She pointed out that in the Crimean Campaign, the reasons for the death of British soldiers were contracted diseases outside the battlefield and injuries without proper care after being injured on the battlefield.

Serious death, but not many people actually died on the battlefield. She even used circular diagrams to illustrate these information. Later, she led 38 nurses to the front line and served in the field hospital. She tried her best to overcome all difficulties and provide

She provided necessary daily necessities and food for the wounded and provided them with careful care. In just about half a year, the mortality rate of the wounded dropped to 2%. Every night, she patrolled with a wind lantern in hand, and the wounded and sick warmly

Call her ‘The Lady with the Lamp’.”

Looking at his close friend, Lu Bicheng said in a very serious tone.

"Men can go to Europe to sacrifice their lives and win respect from the world for their country. Why can't women go? We can organize a nurse team and reduce the casualties of soldiers!"

Looking at Lu Bicheng in surprise, Yuan Kewen was speechless for a while after listening to what she said. He knew quite a bit about this woman's mood and knew that she had high ambitions, but he never expected that.

She actually wanted to go to Europe with the expeditionary force. Although she was surprised, considering Lu Bicheng's character, it seemed to be expected.

After Qiu Jin was captured, when the government searched her residence, they found letters between her and Lu Bicheng, and also found that Lu Bicheng had published an article in a female newspaper run by Qiu Jin, so they wanted to send people to arrest Lu Bicheng. The government arrested her.

The official document informing the arrest of Lu Bicheng happened to fall into the hands of Yuan Kewen, who was a member of the Ministry of Justice of the Qing Dynasty at the time. Yuan Kewen had read Lu Bicheng's article and had long admired his talent. He couldn't bear to see him in trouble, so he immediately informed the police about the matter.

After hearing this, his father, Yuan Shikai, said: "If we exchange letters with each other, I would be a partisan, then wouldn't I also become a rebel?" Lu Bicheng was acquitted. After Yuan Shikai became the president of the Republic of China, Yuan Kewen suggested to his father to hire Lu Bicheng.

As a female official, she could freely enter and leave Xinhua Palace. At that time, Yuan Kewen himself lived in Liushuiyin, Zhongnanhai, and he and Lu Bicheng became closer. Yuan Kewen and his friends held poetry gatherings in Beihai, and Lu Bicheng often participated, singing poems and keeping company with them.

Travel.

Women's self-reliance, self-awareness, and self-awareness are topics that will never go out of style, and Lu Bicheng has been working hard to achieve this goal and work hard to prove to the world that women can also do many things.

"Then, here at the Presidential Palace..."

Yuan Kewen asked tentatively.

"Compared to the presidential palace, I believe the battlefield needs a nurse more!"

Lu Bicheng insisted on what she had already seen.

"But you're not trained to be a nurse!"

Yuan Kewen still opposed his best friend going to Europe. In his opinion, her talent should not be buried in the battlefield.

"I can receive training on the way to Europe. Moreover, when I get to the front line and take care of the wounded, I can get to know them and understand their stories. What is more convincing than witnessing it with my own eyes? I will use my own

pen, record their stories, and tell their stories to every Chinese, let them know what happened there, and let everyone remember it. In Europe, there is a group of people who use their lives and blood for this

Fighting for the future of the country, let the world remember their contributions and contributions!”….

At this time, Lu Bicheng's eyes flashed with excitement. She seemed to see the future, the battlefield, and the wounded.

"When men sacrifice themselves for the country, women can also make their own contribution to the war!"

Lu Bicheng has always had a dream in her heart. She dreams of proving the value of women to the world. Women are not just men's accessories or playthings.

"It seems that I can't convince you anymore!"

Yuan Kewen smiled helplessly, knowing that he could no longer convince this confidante.

"Tell me what you want me to do!"
