About This Novel
Haogang called and said you should hurry up and come back. There is something big, something big. I thought he could be a big deal? A small village chief, the smallest bureaucrat in China, can still do big things, big things. But I still set foot on the road back to the village. The year before the college entrance examination was resumed, Hao Gan joined the army. At that time, joining the army was the brightest future, because you could change your job to the city to earn a living and get wages. Worst of all, if you return to the brigade and become a militia battalion commander, you can make a difference. Haogang's father was a captain, so of course he joined the army. On the day he left, Zhu Tou, Cai Gua and I sat on Pheasant Ridge and watched him, dressed in red and green, being sent across Langgui Xian with the beating of gongs and drums, and disappeared into the bright sunshine. We understood how unfair this world was, because in terms of physical condition, none of us were more like soldiers than him.
