The plot of this book is so exciting! By describing the historical background of the Eight-Power Allied Forces' invasion of China, the author Zhang Baorui shows the struggles of various forces and the complex relationships between characters. I seem to be able to see the changes of that era and people's joys and sorrows. Moreover, the skills of the martial arts masters in the book made my blood boil. I think this is not only a novel, but also a historical picture, which gave me a deeper understanding of that era. Zhang Baorui is really an amazing writer!
