About This Novel
"The Point of the Knife" is a work that Mao Dun Literature Award winner Mai Jia spent eight years creating. Based on real historical events, it faithfully restores the legendary story of the CCP's ace agent that has been dusted for seventy years. During the Anti-Japanese War, Teng Cun, a "perverted" medical expert of the Japanese army, was secretly preparing a special drug for large-scale use on Chinese children. Those who took it would shrink their brains, destroy their nervous tissues, and willingly be enslaved. Both Yan'an and Chongqing learned of this sinister plan and sent senior agents Lin Yingying and Jin Shenshui respectively to crush the Japanese invaders' conspiracy. A cruel adventure begins, and from that moment on, an untimely sneeze could knock their heads off. "The tip of the knife in the left hand, the woman in the right hand; the flowers in the left hand, the blood in the right hand" is the most realistic portrayal of the protagonist Jin Shenshui. On the one hand, he has to deal with the Japanese counter-intelligence team, Wang Puppet Government, Kuomintang and the Communist Party at work; on the other hand, he has to balance emotionally with various women such as Toyama Shizuko, Liu Xiaoying, Ge Ling, Lin Yingying, etc. All ideals and emotional entanglements, suppressed love, distorted human nature, and deceived conspiracies constitute the most dangerous job of that special era: walking on the tip of a knife. After the song ends, where does love go? Where does the conspiracy end? Jin Shenshui - on the positive side; Lin Yingying - on the negative side, jointly performing an unprecedented spy war epic. They are ready to sacrifice at any time and are willing to risk life and death just to maintain their faith in their hearts.

It was tense and exciting but ended abruptly. It is worth commemorating the revolutionary predecessors.
Touched... Everything is hard-won.
Anticlimactic, but realistic
This group of great people worked hard and made selfless contributions to achieve the comfortable life we have today.
Only after reading the original work did I understand why the movie was made the way it was.
It's beautiful and worth watching. It's much more detailed than the movie.
It felt like the ending was rushed, maybe the story itself was like that. The first half is still very tight and tight, but the second half drags a bit in places. Reading it once is enough. No better than some books that you can read many times.
