Youth in the Flames of War 战火中的青春 Episode 21

The situation at the riverside wharf in Wuhan was even worse than they had imagined. A large number of refugees had no boats, let alone their books. The Japanese army launched bombing and strafing again, and their lives were fleeting. Pei Yuanzhi and Fang Yuerong escaped by chance during the bombing, but Fang Yuerong suffered a scratch on his back. Cheng Jiashu and Ye Runming rushed over, and he told Fang Yuerong that he was going back to Peiping, but Fang Yuerong objected. Cheng Jiashu asked Fang Yuerong why he couldn't go back to Beiping, Pei Yuanzhi called Ye Run out when he saw this, and asked Fang Yuerong and Cheng Jiashu to talk alone. When Cheng Jiashu learned that something happened to his family, the cotton mill was occupied, and Cheng Daoxiang fell ill, he wanted to go back to Peking even more.

The next day, Ye Runming took Cheng Jiashu back home, only to learn that the family house had been sold, and the other party gave him the address. The two followed the address and found that the place where Ye's father lived was very simple. Later they learned that Wuhan was bombed and hundreds of thousands of people lost their homes. Ye's father sold his ancestral house with compassion to help the people of Wuhan. Ye Runming couldn't help being proud of his father's great deeds. Ye Runming knew that something happened in Cheng Jiashu's family. He taught Cheng Jiashu that young people like them should wake up and cheer up when the country is in crisis. Freedom and independence have always been won through struggle and sacrifice. As long as they have firm beliefs, they will be able to achieve national independence and firm beliefs. Cheng Jiashu wrote a letter home and cried several times.

The people of Wuhan were in dire straits, which reminded Fang Yuerong of the tragic memories of fleeing with his parents. Pei Yuanzhi said that how to save the people is the mission and responsibility entrusted to their generation by the times. When Zheng Tianting returned to Kunming, he first went to see Mei Yiqi. Mei Yiqi took him to see the school building under construction. Right now, there is war, money is tight, and prices have risen tenfold. It used to be a three-story brick and wood structure house, but now it is Only one-story houses can be built, and most of them can only use thatched roofs. Wen Yiduo also returned to Kunming, where he saw his wife Gao Xiaozhen whom he had not seen for a long time, and his children. Students live in the school building in Kunming. The conditions here are much worse than those in Mengzi. Not only is it crowded, but the accommodation environment is also relatively poor.

Ye Runqing was still angry with Lin Huajun, and didn't want his bed to be next to her. Bi Yunxiao thoughtfully prepared a pot for repelling bedbugs for Ye Runqing, and then took Ye Runqing to eat rice noodles in a small pot. But which pot he didn't open and which pot he lifted, Ye Runqing got up and left without eating much. Father Lin contacted Ye Runming's Uncle Lu, and tried to find a way to get a boat, which would arrive tomorrow morning. Lin's father and Lin's mother asked their son alone if they could not rush to go with the boat, and Ye Runming agreed. Cheng Jiashu and Fang Yuerong promised that when the books were shipped back to school, he would decide to stay in school and study hard, and he would no longer think about going back to Peking. Several students including Ye Runming have passed the organizational review, and Pei Yuanzhi said that the oath ceremony can be held when the Grammar School moves back to Kunming.

Wen Jie invited Lin Huajun to eat in the cafeteria. Lin Huajun saw Shuangxi in the cafeteria. Shuangxi mentioned Cheng Jiashu, and Lin Huajun promised to help him to ask the Academic Affairs Office. Lin Huajun also accidentally learned from Wen Jie that she could apply for a loan. Later, Lin Huajun went to Zheng Tianting to find out that she could not only apply for a loan, but also get a scholarship established by Long Yun. She asked Ye Runming about their situation in Wuhan, and Zheng Tianting said that something was wrong with the ship, and they couldn't be contacted now.
