About This Novel
"Before the Storm" displays the overlapping of mainstream culture and secular culture in a flexible narrative, reproducing China's social conditions from 1901 to 1910 in a broader space. From the reform movement at the end of the Qing Dynasty to the folk religious movement at the beginning of the century, "Before the Storm" explains at a very in-depth level the huge historical changes that modern China is facing and is taking place, and depicts the origins of the road protection movement in Sichuan.

Nice! There are many Sichuan and Chengdu dialects, which are very market-oriented and down-to-earth. It is a narrative of the late Qing Dynasty, describing in detail the conditions and thoughts of the officialdom, the people, and the lower classes at that time. This was the state of the world before the Great Revolution. The dawn before the revolution.
