Eighteen Lives of My Childhood

About This Novel
This is a semi-autobiographical novel. The author was born in the Taihang Mountains during the Anti-Japanese War. His parents were both anti-Japanese cadres of the Chinese Communist Party. As a result, he experienced an unforgettable period full of danger. When he was three years old, the Japanese invading army took him hostage in order to trap the anti-Japanese cadres. He was later rescued by the anti-Japanese government and escaped from danger. He lived a divorced life, begged for food, and herded cattle, but he had been self-reliant since he was a child. At the age of six, he led a donkey to a coal mine dozens of miles away to carry coal. He walked on a mountain road in ice and snow, and encountered a vicious wolf, almost losing his life... The author combined these dangerous experiences and artistically processed them against the background of the war-torn war years, showing the growth of a generation of children at that time. This book is both story-telling and informative, and is also of great reference for the education and training of contemporary teenagers.
