Based on a letter written to a friend by Xiang Song (alias Fang Zhimin), The Lovely China reviews his mental journey and depicts the tragic reality of imperialist invasion from his personal experience. At first, he studied in a rural private school and didn't understand the truth of resisting oppression and colonization. When he was studying in high school, influenced by teachers and friends and social trends, he gradually understood the truth. Later, I traveled to Nanchang, Jiujiang and Shanghai, and saw with my own eyes the painful experience of compatriots being insulted and destroyed under aggression.
Then, Fang Zhimin changed his brushwork, and described China's loveliness with a tender pen, like her mother's body temperature, with a vast territory, like her mother's vastness, like her mountains and rivers, like her rich resources, like her infinite milk and potential, like her diverse scenery and multiculturalism, like her beauty and generosity.
However, this kind and beautiful mother was humiliated and ravaged, and the mountains and rivers were scattered and the hearts were scattered. All these put him on the road of awakening the people and strengthened his "determination to fight for the national liberation of China". "Friends and brothers, get up and save your mother!" In his view, although the country is harmful to the people, and the people are miserable, the popularity and heart of China people are still there. What is needed is to cheer up, be brave in fighting, exert creativity and transform old China.
