About the book: 2024 / The dramatic and sometimes tragic events of the Russo-Japanese War, the First World War, revolutions and civil wars in China and Russia are becoming increasingly diluted as Ivan Sayapin and Jin, who love each other, and people close to them. The threads connecting their hearts are becoming thinner and thinner, the main one of which is held in the hands of their common son Xiaoping. Nevertheless, despite the defeats and losses, our heroes develop more or less prosperous families, children are born who become witnesses and participants in history. Life continues in which close neighbors turn out to be more valuable than distant relatives.
