National Spirit

It was the most humiliating era of Chinese history. During those desperate times, there was a group of true heroes, who fought valiantly and gave up their lives, only to be seen as losers and treated with disdain by their own people over the next century. On the 120th anniversary of First Sino-Japanese War, we reject those prejudices, and with this work, commemorate the loyalty and courage of those brave souls.
