About This Novel
Mo Yan's most important full-length masterpiece challenges reading nerves with torture in the late Qing Dynasty. As soon as he starts speaking, readers are drawn into Mo Yan's unique narrative world: the soul-stirring "cat tune" drama, the traditional telling method of "crested pig belly - leopard tail", the wild imagination of the "storyteller", and the strange people and strange things in "Northeast Gaomi Township". It is a perfect combination of violent aesthetics, historical intervention and realistic concern.

When my father-in-law wears a melon-skin cap with red tassels and a long mandarin jacket, and twirling Buddhist beads in his hand as he wanders around the yard, he looks 80% like a foreign minister who has retired from old age and returned to his hometown, and 90% like an old man with a family full of descendants. But he is not an old man, let alone a foreign minister. He is the chief executioner in the lobby of the Ministry of Justice in the capital. He is the fastest knife and beheading expert in the Qing Dynasty. He is an expert who is proficient in torture in the past dynasties and has made inventions and creations. He worked in the Ministry of Punishments for forty years and cut off more heads than the watermelons produced in Gaomi County in a year.
The perfect integration of sufficient life experience and folk culture

He is worthy of being a literary master who won the Nobel Prize. He goes through many twists and turns, but still has a clear main line. The use of torture reveals the dark decline and incorrigibility of the late Qing Dynasty. The use of torture reveals the distortion and ugliness of human nature, which is simply penetrating and horrifying.
good!
Reading Teacher Mo Yan's books is like reading a book once, or even many times. After reading it, I feel so happy and exhausted! But it's so satisfying! When I watched the frog, I thought it was at its peak, but I didn't expect it to be so exciting! Happy! Happy! ! !
This is a history that reflects the suffering of Jiaodong being colonized, the decline of the Qing Dynasty, warlord separatism, and the history of national weakness and bloodshed.
I like it very much. I watched it twice and enjoyed it every time.
