Eight Thousand*****

The story of Bai Xianyong's father and his friends

The protagonist takes his beloved horse Yunyue with him to pursue freedom and his dreams. The author uses a very poetic touch to describe the deep feelings between Na Na and Yunyue, as well as their determination and courage to pursue freedom and dreams together. The novel has rich characters, compact plot, and is extremely attractive. The book describes many desirable scenery and cultural landscapes, allowing people to feel the joy of travel while reading, and conveys to people the yearning and cherishment of freedom and dreams.

The unsatisfactory cultural nostalgia and endless lingering thoughts are all vividly experienced in this book. As a brand new collection of works by Bai Xianyong, a master in the literary world, this book is divided into three parts: feelings about family and country, characters, and reading feelings. The author uses sincere and profound brushwork to deeply feel the memorable people and things in life between the lines, and paints a true picture of life. The writing is beautiful and concise, and the plot is smooth. After reading this book, we will deeply feel the life trajectory and historical soul of an era.

"Eight Thousand Miles of Road, Clouds and Moons" is a famous line written by Yue Fei. Yue Fei was a famous general who was killed by treacherous ministers and his great ambitions were not fulfilled. The author used this line to coincide with General Bai Chongxi's life experience of being a horse and going to Taiwan but being under surveillance. The author went deep into the mainland and visited twelve major cities. His journey was exactly the eight thousand miles his father took from me. As a historical figure, it may be subjective if it is told by a close relative, but because they are the closest relatives, they can better understand the true face of the character himself. The author interviewed certain parties and consulted historical materials on some events, which can be regarded as restoring the truth to the greatest extent. At the same time, when the author writes about his father, his writing is quite heavy, giving people a sense of solemnity. Worth recommending.

This book is rich in content, elegant in language, and full of bookishness between the lines. It is a popular historical science book worth reading. The book is divided into three series: the first series, "Eight Thousand Miles of Road to Clouds and Moons", uses Yue Fei's famous lines to summarize his father Bai Chongxi's military and political life; the second series, "Colorful Purples and Reds in Bloom", uses famous lines from Kun Opera's "Peony Pavilion" to describe the many talented friends around him; the third series, "Suddenly Looking Back", uses Xin Qiji's famous lines, and compiles Bai Xianyong's prefaces or short reviews of other writers' works. It can be seen that the content of this book is wide and rich. The author fully respects historical facts, strives to be accurate, and avoids excessive subjectivity. The description of historical events in this book is comprehensive and multi-angle, helping readers to accurately understand historical events.

Wonderful, I really like Bai Xianyong's works.
