Wild Boar Crossing the River
About This Novel
A historical fable woven with magnificent, gorgeous and bloody words. On the eve of the Pacific War, the "Committee for the Relief of Refugees from the Motherland" was established in Zhuba Village, a Chinese settlement in Sarawak, a British colony. The whole village, young and old, enthusiastically held fund-raising activities for China's anti-Japanese war. The men and women in the village had mutual affection and had a premonition of the coming disaster. In December 1941, the Japanese army launched a full-scale invasion, and everyone associated with the "Committee for the Relief of Refugees from the Motherland", including women and children, were brutally liquidated. During the three years and eight months of occupation, the distinction between humans and animals was blurred, life disappeared easily in various horrific and cruel ways, and lust and bestiality were nakedly displayed in the Nanyang rainforest.
