About This Novel
"Suzhou River" is the latest in the "Haifei Spy World" series. This novel continues the artistic style of his novels such as "The Jingzhe" and "Awakening". It is pioneering, legendary and lyrical. It uses full pen and ink to depict the small figures in the big history, allowing us to see the growth of the protagonist and his beliefs in the complicated events of the times. But this novel is also different from "Jingzhe" and "Awakening". The story of "Jingzhe" mainly takes place in Chongqing during the Anti-Japanese War. The main story of "Awakening" takes place in Hangzhou and Shanghai during the Anti-Japanese War. The story of "Suzhou River" mainly takes place Shanghai before and after liberation is later than "Jingzhe" and "Awakening" in time. The change of time also means a change in the situation of the struggle against the enemy. In "Jingzhe" and "Awakening", the protagonists Chen Shan and Chen Kailai faced the country, the Communist Party, Japan and other countries. The main enemy is the Japanese invaders, followed by the Kuomintang, and "Suzhou River" is mainly about the struggle between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. It seems more concise and clear, but in the extremely complex environment before and after the liberation of Shanghai, it is more complicated. There are many undercurrents, undercurrents, and migratory currents. Under the surface struggle, there is a more intense and complex underground struggle. "Suzhou River" uses the protagonist Chen Baoshan as a clue to show us the complexity, richness and subtlety of the struggle against the enemy during this period.

The unique narrative requires you to calm down and read it slowly. I like it very much and have read almost all the author's works.
The Suzhou River, which I had walked along for many times, became the name of such a novel. The Suzhou River that was somewhat black and smelly in my memory suddenly changed its appearance. Reading a novel like this requires some energy and concentration. Especially at the end, when one living life after another comes to the end of their destiny. The 1,400 people's policemen from the Jinan Public Security Bureau and the East China Police Academy who took over the Shanghai Police Station are a small part of the 100,000 cadres from Shandong Province. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, 60,000 Shandong soldiers marched into the northeast. Since the Huaihai War, Shandong soldiers have moved southward and swept through the southeast. But many people became martyrs, Many more people have become unsung heroes. As a result, there was a monument to Shandong cadres from the south and a memorial square to Shandong veterans. There will always be someone who remembers them. That little girl named Suzhou He was the source of motivation and hope for the future that that generation sacrificed for.
