The Wind and Cloud Chronicles of the Frontier

During the Guangxu era of the Qing Dynasty, the Zhangku Avenue, known as the "Northern Silk Road," was at its peak, serving as a trade route from Zhangjiakou to Kulun, extending into Russia. Lü Junjie, the son of a wealthy merchant from Zhangjiakou, was forced to wander the steppes after a family crisis, embarking on a legendary life along this road. However, the father and son of the Qu family, who had stolen the Lü family's property, never ceased their persecution of him. They colluded with bandits and Japanese invaders for their own benefit, attempting to put Lü Junjie to death. One by one, Lü Junjie’s brothers, wife, children, and good friends sacrificed their lives defending the prosperity and flourishing of the Zhangku Avenue. Nevertheless, many people chose to stand by Lü Junjie’s side, working together to build railways and trade platforms, making significant contributions to the country's border trade. After the outbreak of the Japanese invasion of China, Qu Shinian made a comeback, and both sides engaged in a final showdown. Lü Junjie was able to take revenge on his enemies, and the deep-seated grudges of many years finally ended before the Dajing Gate. Looking at the words "Great Rivers and Mountains" inscribed on the Dajing Gate, Lü Junjie believed that China would one day reclaim its lost territories, and the prosperity of Zhangku Avenue would undoubtedly be restored.
