Zhou Meisen's classic historical novel is a sister chapter of the anti-corruption novel, which together form a three-dimensional novel system. The old course of the Yellow River is a barren but rich, ancient and great land. Over thousands of years, many soul-stirring stories have happened here. The five series of novellas included in this book take the rise and fall of several coal mines in this land as the main line, and create a series of real characters such as Chu Baoyi, Mr. Liu San, Zhang Daren, Zhao Minquan, and He Shaoji. They compose the tragic and painful sixty years from the 15th year of Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty to the 37th year of the Republic of China. It also provides a historical materialist analysis of the feudalism that has ruled China for thousands of years and still has a profound influence today.
Reader comments
I especially like Chu Baoyi in the book, he has a great sense of justice. However, I also hate Mr. Liu San. He is too selfish and will do anything for his own interests. Overall, this book was well worth reading and gave me a deeper understanding of that era.
