My elder brother Xu Shucheng has been familiar with 3000 books since he was a child. My sister Xu Shurong is more intelligent and virtuous. They grew up under the care and supervision of the old Hanlin. Unfortunately, it didn't last long. In the 31st year of the reign of Emperor Guangxu, the imperial examination system, which lasted for 1300 years in Chinese history, was abolished.

However, such a natural and unrestrained white book, but in the feelings of the most can not encounter a free and easy triangular relationship.

On the one hand, Shurong, his elder sister who married him to his kind and righteous adoptive father, indulged Shubai's willfulness with gentleness, kindness and forbearance; on the other hand, Niulan, a left-wing woman who brought him fresh experience and led him into the broad world, was warm, cheerful, innocent and beautiful. She took Shubai out of Xiangmu Town, into the campus of Yanda and onto the street Head of the parade learning tide. For Shubai, she has surpassed her intimate lovers.

Except for a weak woman, there was no man in her family. Even, he had to hide the secret of having a child with Shubai and raise his son for 17 years, so as not to let Shubai have any company.

Fortunately, when God closes a door in front of you, he will always open another window for you. Fang Changqing, the eldest son of another big family in Xiangmu Town, has always admired Shurong. Although she is a bandit, she has no doubt about right and wrong. Although she has loved Shu Rong for a long time, she has to protect her secretly because she is married.

In his grief, he set foot on the ship of studying abroad in Japan. On the one hand, he wanted to escape from the sad place; on the other hand, he also tried to turn to new learning and seek new development. However, because of his weak and pessimistic personality, narrow-minded, although his appearance is new, he is still an old-fashioned scholar in his heart. His journey of new learning is always like a romantic journey in the name of curing the numb soul of Chinese people.

Shucheng is naive, fragile and idealistic, which directly leads to his tragic life. In his official career, he suffered a great deal and experienced the ups and downs of the officialdom. After middle age, he lost a leg in the warlord scuffle. He is infatuated with Niu LAN, a leftist woman who grew up in the new cultural environment, and Niu LAN is taken over by her brother-in-law Frustrated, he returned to Xiangmu town and became a teacher in the scholar's Academy. At this time, the book has no hope for life. He spent all day drinking and fell into deep decadence. But it was fate that he would finally wake up.

With the outbreak of the war of aggression against China, the Japanese settled in Xiangmu town to brainwash the Chinese people and force the Xu family to reopen the scholar's Academy. They only need to teach in Japanese. As a doctor studying in Japan and the eldest son of the Xu family, Shucheng was appointed as the chief teacher of the scholar's Academy. Shu Cheng was unwilling in every way, but he was afraid of the cruelty of the Japanese army. Finally, under the pressure of the invaders, the school opened. What no one thought was that on the day of the class, Shu Cheng, who was weak in nature, denounced their aggressive acts in front of Japanese officers full of books. He was generous in his speech, loud in his voice, cheered people's hearts, and finally died bravely. So far, as a scholar, he finally taught a lesson for the Japanese aggressors on behalf of the Chinese.
