My father heard the bullet break through the thick fog, pass through the sorghum leaves and sorghum stalks, and a sorghum head hit the ground. For a moment, everyone held their breath. The bullet screamed all the way and landed somewhere. Fragrant gunpowder smoke dispersed into the fog. Wang Wenyi screamed: "Commander - I have no head - Commander - I have no head -"

This is a good book that can arouse your emotions inadvertently

I thought of an old movie, so I wanted to read this novel. It didn't appeal to me at first, but as I read it, I realized that the characters in this novel are so vividly described. Among them, Magistrate Cao (two hundred soles)'s murderous intention is a highlight in this book. Those who were punished were locked at the gate of the county government office. He held the wooden stick with both hands and punched the shit jar up and down, shouting as he did so: "Everyone comes to see, everyone comes to see, my name is Wang Haoshan, I forged a contract and deceived people, the county magistrate punished me to pound the shit jar..."

It's so beautiful. I came across this book by chance and felt great after reading it.

When describing some people and things, I really feel that I can still write this way and use it this way, but I feel it is very accurate and powerful. Moreover, after reading the emotions in the book, I can understand some things, which is not what I thought before.

The so-called book shortage

I have always claimed to be short of books in the past, but I have never read a book with spiritual significance worthy of study. I am ashamed. I saw Mr. Mo's book from a recommendation somewhere. Like!

The most impressive thing is the description of "Grandma's" plump breasts, from the fish-water intercourse in the sorghum field when she was married to a leper, to her death on the way to deliver cakes in the sorghum field when Yu Zhan'ao ambushed the Japanese soldiers, her breasts were penetrated by bullets and emitted bright red blood. This is sacred, just like the land where they lived and the sorghum field that raised the farmers. Love cannot be suppressed. It is this instinct that makes everything that happens on this red land so natural and fascinating.

A good book that reflects the hard life of an era and the cruelty and cruelty of the Japanese.

It is a very good book that allowed me to see the hardships of people's lives in the past. During the era of struggle, the fragility of life, the cruelty of the Japanese, and the dehumanization of humanity. This book is a true portrayal of an era. The description is meticulous and penetrating. I was very inspired by it.
