The Moon Shines into the Pigsty
About This Novel
Summary of the story of "Moonlight Shines on the Pig Pen" This is a story about "how man turns into a beast". In the late winter of 872 AD, outside the pig pen of Liu Chong's house in Dangshan, a young man named Zhu Wen was lying in the snow. He was so hungry that he climbed into the pig pen and snatched the mouthful of food from the pig's mouth. At that moment, what he grabbed was not just a carrot, but his life's destiny - for the next sixty years, he continued to grab it, becoming a general, a military governor, and an emperor. He surrendered to Huang Chao and killed Huang Chao; he surrendered to the Tang Dynasty and killed the Tang Dynasty. Every betrayal marks a turning point in the times, and the only one who can fill that hole is a woman named Zhang Hui. She was the governor's daughter, and she had light in her eyes. She became the guardian of his humanity, asking over and over again on his pillow: "Do you still have light in your eyes?" She was here, and he still knew that he was a "human being." But the light will die and people will leave. The year Zhang Hui died of illness, the last rein in Zhu Wen's heart was broken. He forced Emperor Zhaozong of the Tang Dynasty to move the capital to Luoyang and razed Chang'an, the imperial capital of three hundred years, to rubble; he sent troops into the palace and ended the Tang Dynasty in Jiao Palace; he thought he had won, but discovered on the night of regicide that when he won, no one won with him. After that, he became even more crazy: he asked his daughters-in-law to take turns sleeping with him, and watched as the murderous intent in his sons' eyes grew stronger and stronger. On the night of the second day of June in the second year of Qianhua, his son Zhu Yougui led his troops into the dormitory. When the knife pierced the abdomen and back, Zhu Wen looked at the blood and said, "Hui Niang, I'm here." He was wrapped in rags and buried under the bed. --The man who crawled out of the pigsty climbed onto the dragon's throne, and finally realized that the light in his heart had been extinguished long ago.
