About This Novel
Niu Zi joined the Eighth Route Army on the second day of the fifth lunar month in the fourth year of the Anti-Japanese War. The year was 1941, the most difficult days of the Anti-Japanese War, and Niu Zi was 15 years old. This morning, Niu Zi was grazing cattle on Nanshan Mountain. The calf gnawed on peach leaves and elm leaves beside the stone weir, mooing while eating. "Bah!" Suddenly gunfire came from the village. Then, there were a few more "bah" sounds. Then men roared, women and children cried and screamed, and in two places smoke rose. Niu Zi felt that something was not good and shouted: "Hurry up!" He led the calf and ran down the mountain. A team of more than a dozen Japanese soldiers led more than 20 security soldiers out to patrol, looking for the Eighth Route Army. I couldn't find even a shadow of the Eighth Route Army along the way, so I went to Niujia Village to search. After searching a few households and failing to find any, I had to recruit young and middle-aged workers to build strongholds, dig trenches, and also grab grain and chickens.
