China's Past
by Mason Zhou
About This Novel
This is a masterpiece of literature recommended to readers by famous writers Liu Heng, Su Tong, Lao Gui, Ye Zhaoyan and Zhe Fu. In 1997, the famous writer Zhou Meisen won two national awards, the National Book Award and the Five One Project Award, for his novel "The Righteous Way in the World", which describes contemporary life. However, Zhou Meisen's more important artistic achievement is his historical novels. As early as 10 years ago, Comrade Tang Dacheng, a well-known critic and former party secretary of the Chinese Writers Association, pointed out that "Zhou Meisen's historical novels are as bold as Mao Dun's "Midnight"". The famous writer Zhefu said frankly in an article: "Looking at the current literary world, there is no one who can write about the past events of China with Zhou Meisen's penmanship, such a magical artistic feeling that turns decay into magic, and has achieved such magnificent achievements." "Once Upon a Time in China" is an important representative work of Zhou Meisen's historical novels. What was staged were scenes of thrilling past events in China. It is like an ingenious historical lens, opening up a special channel for us to understand Chinese history, allowing us to have an in-depth examination of the life and society of old China without having to go through the fog of history. Although this book tells about old events in China, its people and events make people feel extremely familiar; its wisdom and strategies will benefit you endlessly. This is probably the charm of works of art that deeply touch the human soul! The writing in this book is free and unbridled, the conception is profound and grand, the romance is not vulgar, and the absurdity is not untrue. As soon as the first part came out, a film adaptation contract was signed with the famous director Zhang Yimou. It is a must-read book.
