Wuhan, 1937. China is at war, invaded by the Japanese Army, who
sweep through the country killing indiscriminately. As the capital
city falls, Wuhan takes its place and will become pivotal in
China's future. 1937. China is at war. Japanese soldiers sweep
through the country, killing and displacing the millions who stand
in their way. Nanjing has fallen, and Wuhan promoted in its place.
While the rest of the world looks the other way, Wuhan stands alone
against a whirlwind of violence which forced unprecedented cultural
and political change. This will be a moment that shapes China's
future. Weaving together a multitude of narratives, Wuhan is a
historical fiction epic that pulls no punches: the heart-in-mouth
story of a peasant family forced onto a thousand-mile refugee
death-march; the story of Lao She - the influential Chinese
novelist - who leaves his family in a war-zone to assist with the
propaganda effort in Wuhan; the hellish battlefields of the
Sino-Japanese war; the incipient global conflict seen through a
host of colourful characters - from Chiang Kai-Shek, China's
nationalist leader, to Peter Fleming, British journalist based in
Wuhan and a prototype for his younger brother Ian Fleming's James
Bond.
