Dance with dragon and phoenix
The dark night is like ink, and the throat of the northwest land is tightly strangled by the shadow of warlord Ma Bufang and the fierce bandits who are attached to him.
Under this suffocating rule, two generations of the Chen family silently carved their unyielding mark with their flesh and blood:
Chen Kuishou (father): Like an old pine tree rooted in the frozen soil, with silent tenacity and ancient bloody wisdom, he quietly built the first barrier for family blood and peace under the Iron Curtain.
Chen Jiqian (Chen Kui's son): The courage of his ancestors runs in his blood, but his eyes penetrate the barriers inherited from generation to generation. He is no longer satisfied with the forbearing way of survival of his fathers, and is not willing to fall victim to numbness - he wants to carve out a way to dignity and meaning for himself and his fellow travelers in a desperate situation!
This is a double war:
Externally, it is an underground secret war that is frightening at every step, maneuvering with wisdom, and fighting for life, facing directly the blades of the Ma Jiajun and the fangs of the bandits;
Internally, it is the struggle deep in the soul to break free from the shackles of "acceptance" and "loyalty" passed down from generation to generation!
Chen Jiqian, the "odd" soul in the Chen family, resolutely chose to swim against the current while his father and brother were sinking and floating in the vortex of tradition. He is not satisfied with just "living", but also persistently asks "how to live" - can a person's backbone still stand upright under the crushing power and violence? Can the value of life shine brightest in resistance and self-awakening?
"Dancing with the Dragon and the Phoenix" reveals a secret history of bloody struggle sealed in the wind and sand of the northwest. See how two generations of men interpret the same desperate situation in different ways.
The story is exciting, novel and moving.
