A rural student becomes a man of the hour who dominates the battlefield; a father and son go from spiritual betrayal to a heart-to-heart bond; a group of teachers and students go their separate ways and return to the same place after several years, and a new group of war figures come to us from the hidden places of history. In the smoke-filled place, there are not only life and death, but also unforgettable love and hatred; not only the fighting between the two armies, but also the game and tacit understanding of the minds of wise men... From the art of war to the art of war, "The World on Horseback" goes straight to the core of military literature. With unique insights and wonderful narratives, it expresses the ultimate concern of war literature.
Reader comments
I remember watching the TV series "History of the Sky" when I was a primary school student, and the impression it left on people was far better than that of "Bright Sword". I still clearly remember the names of the actors at that time, Li Xuejian, Zhang Fengyi, Yin Tao, and Lin Yongjian. The actors in that drama are still active on the screen today. I read the novel again and watched Ma Tianxia again. It was shocking.
We have actually read a lot of literature about the Red War since childhood, such as "Tunnel War" and "Heroic Sons and Daughters". In these works, the heroes we see have almost no shortcomings. No matter how difficult it is, they can achieve final victory, while the enemies are incompetent and afraid of death. Although I know that this kind of literary works has a certain propaganda nature, it is understandable under the circumstances at that time. Today we can face it squarely and understand that period of history objectively and correctly. This is the case with Mr. Xu Guixiang's novels, which have a certain objective understanding of the Kuomintang's regime and army and acknowledge the enemy's strength. This is not the worship of the enemy, but it is precisely because of this that we can realize how hard-won our victory was and how valuable our tenacious consciousness is. History has proven our victory. This is why we should objectively face up to our own shortcomings and the truth of history, to prove that our society and era are becoming more tolerant and rational.
Mr. Xu Guixiang has written many military historical novels. Different from the stiffness and rigidity of other works with main themes, and different from the childishness and dullness of general works about eating patriotic food, this book is written in a very realistic and smart way. On the one hand, it reflects the true appearance of that era. Both the Japanese and the Chinese army were actually very powerful, otherwise the war would not have lasted for so many years; on the other hand, the characters in his paintings are alive, not just one-size-fits-all, with ideal highlights and personal calculations for Xiao Jiujiu. These true stories help us understand history more correctly.
It must be perfect! Professional writer, awesome plus
It was my first time to come into contact with the history and culture of the Anti-Japanese War. Indeed, the ideas of the older generation are great! ! ! From the Anti-Japanese War to the War of Liberation, it can only be said that the merits and demerits of the waves are buried in the long river of history. The older generation is so great.
The characters are vividly portrayed, the narrative is successful, and the sense of history is strong. Thank you to the author.
Yes, the characters are written more realistically. I think the score is low, at least 9 points or more.

Good book. The concept is wonderful, the plot is twists and turns, and the story is endlessly memorable. Good book, good book.
To give a brief introduction, this is a military-themed work. A young man from a landlord's family was tricked by his friends into abandoning his wife and son and embarked on the road of revolution. He became a military expert. His son was always by his side, but he later learned that his wife had not been seen since he left home until her death. That era was magnificent, but the people of that era had gone through countless hardships...
After several days of non-stop reading, I was very moved. The very delicate descriptions and speculations on the characters' language and hearts. The plot has ups and downs, exciting and thought-provoking. I think it is the most authentic expression of the mental journey of a Chinese soldier who grew up from the old society to the new society during the Anti-Japanese War. A man who did not want war was gifted by the times to become a war genius. May world peace turn swords into plowshares!
The language is simple, the structure is tight, and it spans several decades. The main line is still clear and not messy at all. On this basis, various vivid plots are derived that are not divorced from the historical environment. It is not an exaggeration to call it an ingenious portrayal. It has been the second time I have read it, and I still think it looks good.
This book is wonderful! It tells the growth process of a rural student, the emotional changes between father and son, and the separation and reunion of teachers and students. It shows the separation of life and death, love and hatred in the war. There are many wonderful descriptions in the book, such as "In the smoke-filled place, there are not only life and death, but also unforgettable love and hatred", which makes people feel the cruelty of war and the complexity of human nature. This book's understanding of war literature is unique and worth reading.

A good war-themed work, the characters are vivid and flesh-and-blood, not exaggerated, and make it very readable.
The plot has twists and turns that are often unexpected. The art of command has strict logic and meticulous arrangements. Under the circumstances of lack of materials, knowing yourself and the enemy, and the enemy is strong and we are weak, every victory is hard-won.
Very touching work!
I rarely read this type of literature, and I always feel that such stories are far away from me, but the protagonist in this book is different from other books. He has a different life experience, and is also a very complex and valuable person. It is precisely because of this background that I was attracted. I quickly finished reading this book and found that the value of this book is that the characterization of the characters, the description of the environment, and the detailed narration can really make people immerse themselves in the situation, and also bring people more levels of thinking.
I have watched the TV series and found the novel interesting.
It's ten minutes to watch, very exciting, very good to watch, very good to watch
