Others follow advice and imitate celebrities, but you start by pretending to be a god?

As time went by, the prisoners of war gradually settled down, and the entire area became unusually quiet.

Suddenly, light and shadow miraculously appeared on the previously blank screen. The light and shadow shifted and changed unpredictably, as if they were alive, instantly igniting the prisoners' curiosity.

"What is this thing?" someone exclaimed.

"Spell! This must be a spell!" another person exclaimed excitedly, his eyes gleaming with awe.

"I never imagined that I would witness magic firsthand, not only on the battlefield," someone else remarked.

"Shh, don't talk nonsense. This isn't some kind of magic. I heard it's called 'projection,'" a slightly more knowledgeable prisoner of war whispered a reminder.

"Projection? Is it a projection spell?" someone asked, puzzled.

“No, it’s something that can bring back the past,” the man explained.

"Isn't that still magic?" someone retorted.

Listening to the discussions around him, Wang Wu was filled with doubt. He looked up at the large screen in front of him and saw the light and shadow on the screen slowly changing, finally settling on several large characters – “Produced by Datong Society”.

Above these words were clearly marked pinyin. Like the other prisoners of war, Wang Wu tried to pronounce the pinyin, and surprisingly, he actually read the words aloud: "大、同、会、出、品!"

At that moment, Wang Wu felt a surge of inexplicable sense of accomplishment. Although he didn't know the exact meaning of the word "produced," he understood that it was all meticulously planned by the Datong Society.

As the writing gradually faded, a scene appeared on the screen—a quiet farmhouse, in which stood a lovely and innocent farm girl.

Wang Wu only glanced at her before feeling his heart skip a beat. A collective gasp rose around him. The girl's beauty seemed to possess a magical power, captivating everyone who saw her.

"What amazing magic!" someone exclaimed.

"This is good, this is good!" someone else chimed in.

"Why is there a woman inside?" some people asked.

But no matter how they discussed it, the images on the screen continued. As the farm girl spoke and moved, the background of the story gradually became clear.

It turned out that the girl was the daughter of a tenant farmer, whose family made a living by farming for a landlord. She was naturally intelligent and longed to learn, but in that remote countryside, her dreams had nowhere to go.

Various invisible constraints, like shackles, bound her hands and feet.

Wang Wu's emotions rose and fell with the girl's experiences on the screen. He could almost feel the girl's inner struggles and helplessness, as well as her thirst for knowledge and her aspirations for the future.

Soon, the plot reached a turning point. A landlord in the village, known as "Huang Shiren," took a liking to the girl's beauty and harbored illicit intentions towards her.

This news caused an uproar among the Tang Dynasty prisoners of war present. Even Wang Wu felt a surge of anger rising within him. In the preceding background information, this landlord was no good. He exploited his tenants, forced women into prostitution, oppressed and bullied them… he committed every imaginable evil. If a peasant girl fell into his hands, could she possibly have a good ending?
The peasant girl naturally refused. She resolutely resisted and refused to submit to Huang Shiren's tyranny.

However, from that moment on, Huang Shiren began to target the girl, almost causing her family to be destroyed.

Just when it seemed the farm girl was about to fall into a desperate situation, the plot took another turn.

A former soldier, known as "Brother Wang," suddenly returned to the village. He had an ordinary appearance, but his square face exuded an air of authority.

More importantly, he exuded confidence and composure, and his manner of speaking was completely different from that of the illiterate peasant boy he once was.

Upon returning to the village, he immediately took action. He contacted the families who had been bullied and patiently persuaded them to unite and resist.

Finally, at the crucial moment when Huang Shiren was about to bring the peasant girl into his mansion, Wang's brother stepped forward and led everyone in resistance.

With his help, the peasant girl finally escaped her misery. At the same time, she also developed feelings for the Wang family brother.

However, while the Wang family elder brother had dealt a blow to the landlord's arrogance, he also had to face the consequences. The heavy pressure from the government quickly descended like dark clouds!

The landlord Huang Shiren's power base was deeply entrenched, and other landlords also stepped forward to support him. It seemed that the Wang family brother was driven to a dead end, with no way out and no hope of turning things around.

At this moment, many Tang Dynasty prisoners of war, including Wang Wu, sat there quietly, outwardly calm, but inwardly their emotions were churning. They felt as if they were there, deeply concerned for the fate of the Wang family brother in the movie. The undisguised sorrow on the peasant girl's face was a reflection of their own anxieties.

All this turmoil stemmed from her. She was willing to bear all the consequences alone, hoping only that her brother, the Wang family member, would be safe and sound, and that he would achieve great things in the future. Seeing this scene, countless Tang Dynasty prisoners of war, these usually tough and resolute men, couldn't help but shed tears.

Wang Wu's eyes also reddened, deeply moved by the farm girl's affection and sense of responsibility. At the same time, they put themselves in "Brother Wang's" shoes, naturally hoping he would bravely forge ahead and never back down in this critical moment. However, reason made them ponder: in such a desperate situation, what good plan could Brother Wang possibly have?
Just as everyone was filled with worry, the farm girl in the story took the initiative to suggest that her brother, Wang, return to the army and seek their protection. This suggestion instantly drew everyone into the story, filling them with a deep sense of despair. Caught in this dilemma, they were even more eager to know what would happen next.

Just then, "Brother Wang" suddenly turned around, faced the farm girl, and slowly revealed a shocking secret: "Actually, I am no longer an ordinary soldier in the army."

“Even if I were still in the military now, facing the heavy pressure from the government, no one in the military would stand up for me.”

"I come from a farming family and am just an ordinary citizen. Even a general in the army wouldn't look at me differently!"

These words struck like a bolt from the blue, leaving the farm girl in the film utterly stunned. Her reaction echoed the sentiments of countless viewers. Wang Wu, too, was reeling from the shock. His brother's previous background was completely overturned at that moment.

However, new problems also arose...

Just who exactly is that Wang family brother?
On the screen, the older brother, Wang, spoke calmly and slowly: "After I joined the army, I was in a daze every day. All I saw and heard was chaos and injustice, rampant corruption, bullying of the weak, and ignorance..."

"Later, during a mission, I met a fellow member of the 'Great Harmony Society'."

"After talking with him, I suddenly realized that people should have some pursuits and meaning in life." "In the army, I couldn't find this meaning, nor could I find my own value."

"So, I chose to escape and joined the Datong Society."

On screen, the older brother spoke calmly and firmly. The farm girl covered her mouth, clearly shocked by the older brother's experiences.

"In the Datong Society, I learned to read and write, to do math calculations, and to understand the Datong Society's ideals."

"Then, I found my direction and my own value!"

Before the screen, the group of Tang Dynasty prisoners of war remained silent. Some were lost in thought because of Wang's words, while others felt a vague sense of resonance. How similar Wang's fate was to theirs! Only, Wang was more resolute, deciding to join the Great Harmony Society after just one encounter. And they, they had become prisoners of war of the Great Harmony Society…

On the screen, after revealing his true identity, the older brother solemnly said to the farm girl, "Now that I'm back, I have no intention of leaving again!"

"I want to settle down here and awaken the other villagers."

"Landlords, government officials, dogmas, rules... these are all outdated things, and I will break them all down!"

“After everything is broken, a new society called ‘Datong’ will emerge.”

"In the new society, you can read and write."

"Farmers will no longer be exploited by landlords!"

"The government will no longer levy agricultural taxes!"

"Those high-ranking officials and nobles are no longer born noble, and we are no longer born lowly!"

"All children can read and write, and can change their destiny through learning!"

"All elderly people can enjoy their later years in peace!"

As the "Wang family brother" was described on the screen, the farm girl was clearly captivated. She even asked incredulously, "Will such a new society really appear?"

The peasant girl's question reflected the sentiments of many Tang Dynasty prisoners of war present. The description given by the Wang family brother was incredibly appealing to them, inspiring longing. However, the peasant girl's question was also their question.

Then, the older brother from the Wang family gave a resounding answer: "Yes! It has already appeared!"

"Now, the areas occupied by the Datong Society have already achieved these goals!"

"What we need now is for more places to achieve harmony and unity!" Wang's older brother said emotionally, "I just don't want to enjoy that kind of life alone, because I can't bear it. There are still many more villagers and relatives living in dire straits!"

"My beloved will be ruined and killed because of this old society!"

"So, I'm back..."

“The members of the Datong Society who came and went all returned to their hometowns.”

"No one will be oppressed anymore!"

"So how could I abandon you? How could I forsake my fellow villagers?"

The older brother's words, spoken with emotion and determination, deeply moved the farm girl. Even the Tang Dynasty prisoners of war watching on screen were stirred with patriotic fervor, as if they were all there, identifying with the older brother.

The next moment, the farm girl, moved and determined, took the initiative to grasp the hand of the Wang family's brother.

"Brother Wang, everything you've described fills me with longing, just as you yourself are incredibly attractive to me, so too is everything about the new society!"

The peasant girl's straightforward confession left the Tang Dynasty prisoners of war speechless. When had they ever witnessed such a scene? A beautiful peasant girl, taking the initiative to confess her love to a man. Her pure yet resolute demeanor was incredibly attractive to these prisoners.

And so, the farm girl stood firmly on the same side as the Wang family brother. She even took the initiative to investigate everything about the Datong Society, and then fought alongside the Wang family brother, truly demonstrating the spirit of "women not being inferior to men".

This transformation was both unexpected and yet somehow inevitable. It can only be said that this stark contrast between the rural girl and her real-life appearance made the Tang Dynasty prisoners of war watching on screen even more captivating. Even Wang Wu secretly began to see himself as "Brother Wang," as if the rural girl were his neighbor, Xiao Cui…

On the screen, as the Wang family's older brother and the farm girl worked hard, one by one, the villagers began to "awaken"! They united as one to face the difficulties together. Even when crisis struck, they did not back down, but only looked forward to the arrival of a new society.

This experience naturally included oppression and poignant sacrifices. But it was precisely these experiences that strengthened their resolve.

Finally, good news arrived. The army of the Great Harmony Society—the Great Harmony Army—had come to provide support. Their goal was to help everyone break down the old society, rebuild a new one, and achieve universal harmony!
Wherever the Datong Army went, the people lined the streets to welcome them. Some children even vowed to join the Datong Army when they grew up!

The Wang family brother and the peasant girl finally welcomed the Datong army. All their hard work had paid off. The scene shifts abruptly amidst joyous and rousing music.

The Wang family's older brother was dressed in the uniform of the Datong Army, looking dashing and heroic. On the other side, the farm girl was also dressed in military uniform, exuding a unique charm, and had become a "female soldier" of the Datong Army.

Surrounded by many other soldiers of the Datong Army, the surroundings were decorated with festive lanterns and colorful streamers. Then, under a flag of the Datong Society, they raised their hands together and made a vow to become husband and wife.

The movie ended there. As the lights dimmed, the hearts of the Tang Dynasty prisoners of war remained unsettled for a long time, rippling like waves on a lake where a boulder had been thrown in.

Wang Wu was the same. He sat quietly in place, staring blankly at the now completely black screen, his thoughts still immersed in the movie's plot, unable to extricate himself. Scenes from the movie flashed through his mind like a revolving lantern.

For some reason, the image of Xiao Cui from his hometown suddenly surfaced in Wang Wu's mind. Her bright eyes and playful smile gradually overlapped with the image of the "farm girl" from the movie. In a daze, he seemed to see Xiao Cui standing in that golden wheat field, smiling gently at him. (End of Chapter)
