The blue sea and blue sky, the golden sand beach stretches for thousands of miles, the sound of children playing in the sea breeze drifts, 11-year-old Sun Liren, the general who later left a strong mark in history, is attracted by this beautiful coast at the moment, he is barefoot, running on the soft sand, collecting shells and stones of different shapes, as if these treasures gifted by nature, containing endless fun, this seemingly quiet and peaceful beach, but hiding the undercurrent of the times, is about to set off a monstrous wave in the heart of the young Sun Liren

A few blonde and blue-eyed Germany children, with a bit of arrogance, blocked Sun Liren's way, they pointed to the stone in Sun Liren's hand, mixed with a few words of German with a stiff Chinese, and asked him to hand it over, Qingdao at that time had already become a Germany colony, and this group of foreign children, relying on the prestige of "foreign adults", wantonly bullied the local people

In the face of this sudden provocation, the young Sun Liren did not flinch, he clutched the stones in his hand tightly, his eyes looked at each other firmly, his small body seemed to contain huge energy, outnumbered, and in the end, Sun Liren was knocked to the ground by this group of brutal German children, they snatched the stones he had worked so hard to collect, and left a string of piercing ridicule, and walked away

As the sun set, the golden afterglow sprinkled on the sea, sparkling, Sun Liren sat alone on the beach, letting tears blur his eyes, he looked at the seagulls in the distance, his heart was full of humiliation and resentment, this experience, like a brand, was deeply engraved in his heart

"One day, I want to make our country strong, and I can no longer let anyone be bullied at will!" Sun Liren secretly swore that he stood up and patted the sand on his body, with a resolute light in his eyes

Since that day, Sun Liren seems to have changed a person, he is no longer addicted to children's games, but spent all his time on studying, he studied hard, excellent grades, at the age of 14, he was admitted to Tsinghua University with the first place, becoming a "Tsinghua genius" praised by everyone
