About This Novel
The Northern and Southern Dynasties were a chaotic era of great destruction, but also a prosperous era of great integration; it was an iron-blooded era that had been divided for two hundred years, and it was also a glorious time when heroes appeared in large numbers. This book reproduces the history of China from the confrontation between the north and the south, the division between the east and the west, and finally the unification of China in the 5th and 6th centuries. The book contains the rise, decline and demise of the grassland nation Tuoba Xianbei, the metamorphosis of the emperors of the Southern Dynasties who were defeated by power for generations, the hard struggle and frustration of Gao Huan, a soldier at the border, the tenderness of the misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River and the death of his soul in the gentle countryside, and the struggle, confusion and transformation of a nation. This is a tragic song during a critical period of the formation of the Chinese nation, and it is worth revisiting and remembering by every Chinese.
