The Roaring Land
About This Novel
[The pioneering work of the red classic] In the late 1920s, a village ruled by landlords was as dull as a backwater. Miner Zhang Jinde returned to his hometown with the fire of revolution, and young landlord Li Jie also broke with his feudal family and joined the peasant movement. They organized peasant associations, mobilized the poor, and shouted the slogan of "Agrarian Revolution" - reduce rents, resist debts, and overthrow the local tyrants and evil gentry. However, when the guns of the revolutionary army suddenly turned, and the former allies turned into enemies, this group of barefoot farmers had to take up arms and retreat into the mountains to make a final struggle for survival and dignity. "The Roaring Land" is the representative work of Jiang Guangci, the pioneer of "revolutionary literature". It is also the first novel in the history of modern Chinese literature that positively describes the armed struggle of farmers. There is no exquisite rhetoric in the book, only the roar after the land is trampled; there are no perfect heroes, only ordinary people who stand up from the mud. It is rough, fiery and full of idealistic passion, and also records the most real struggles and sacrifices of that era. Open it and you will hear how a land roars and see how a group of people search for their own dawn in the darkness.
