N Kings and Their Territories
by Li Hao
About This Novel
"N Kings and Their Territories" contains 11 novels, telling the stories of the kings, but they are not the powerful and glorious kings we usually see in the "official history" records. Li Hao pulled the kings off the throne and restored them to ordinary people one after another, truly "recording" their spiritual world and emotional experience. On the one hand, the novel presents the arrogance, arrogance, cruelty, suspicion, and stupidity that power brings to the kings; on the other hand, the novel is particularly good at exploring the fear, emptiness, sadness, despair, etc. Deep in the hearts of the kings as ordinary people, thereby eliminating the sense of distance and strangeness of the king's identity, thus forming a certain dialogue with the readers. Some of the kings in the novel have historical basis (such as the story of Li Yu's fall), and some are Li Hao's imagination or "reconstruction". The 11 novels are separate stories, but they seem to be able to find each other in each chapter, as if they outline a map where each dominates. With the help of various imaginary history books, Li Hao used fiction to reach the "historical truth" and actually reached the "human" truth, which in turn confirmed Li Hao's imagination.
