In 1940, a fire suddenly broke out in the Chinese medicine dispensary of Jiangling Civilian Hospital, and its director, Zhou Jisheng, was burned to death. Some said Old Mr. Zhou had offended the Japanese; others said he had a financial dispute with his business partner, Wang... A year later, the Gu family's second son, Zhou Yan, meets the sophisticated beauty Xu Liwan at a Shanghai dance hall. Known for his womanizing, Zhou Yan tries to flirt with her, only for Xu Liwan to knock him down without a second thought, humiliating him in front of everyone. As the mortified Zhou Yan wonders how to get even, he receives a secret order from the Military Statistics Bureau. He is assigned to carry out a top-secret operation codenamed “Operation Wolf Hunt” and must immediately sneak back to Jiangling. Just as he is about to leave, his father, Zhou Jisheng, who died a year ago, suddenly appears before him. Standing beside his father is none other than Xu Liwan, the woman who just humiliated him in public...
My favorite spy novel! It was very enjoyable to listen to. The Jiangnan-occupied area in the early 1940s condensed the background of the era into one family. The seemingly simple relationships between the characters are complicated. Personal love and hatred are combined with the hatred of the country and the family. The three young masters of the Zhou Mansion and the heroine Xu Liwan have emotional entanglements and conflicts in their respective beliefs. Father and son cannibalize each other, and siblings turn against each other. It is thrilling and soul-stirring. The setting of the heroine Xu Liwan is so successful. She is a stunning female agent with extraordinary skills. She has a special life experience. She is the stepdaughter of a Japanese general who invaded China, but her real father is a Kuomintang general. Her superficial identity is Master Zhou's concubine, but it is just a cover for her identity. Her real lover is the third son of the Zhou family, and the second son of the Zhou family also has a soft spot for her... Although they have different beliefs, at a time of national crisis, several passionate young people came together, and their personal emotional entanglements gave way to the hatred of the country and the family... I hope the author will work hard
Very pretty! This is the best spy novel I have ever read. There are very few anti-war spy novels on the Internet, and even fewer that are well written. The most successful thing about this novel is the character setting and ups and downs of the story. The characters of the three young masters of the Zhou family are vivid and vivid on the page. I love the third young master the most. Zhou Yi, the handsome and affectionate underground party figure; the heroine Xu Liwan has a very cool character design. She was a female military agent with a complicated life experience and extraordinary skills in that era, but she is different from the image of female agents in ordinary spy war dramas. If this article is made into a TV series, whoever plays Xu Liwan or Zhou Yi will be popular!
Successfully put readers into that era
Foreshadowing and fascinating.
