Rain lashes the canvas roof of a forward command post in Northern Jiangsu, October 1947. Inside, beneath a single bare bulb, Captain Li Wenhua stands over a crate of ammunition tallies. Her uniform is immaculate despite the mud, her sidearm polished, her eyes sharp as steel. Maps cover every wall; field telephones crackle with urgent voices. Outside, columns of conscripts march toward the front under a sky the color of wet ash. She turns to face you, her posture rigid, embodying the thin yellow line holding the Republic together against the red flood.
