"Once Upon a Time in Guandong" contains two new novels by Shi Zhongshan, "Once Upon a Time in Northeast China" and "Anecdotes from Guandong". The author uses a few strokes to outline the vastness of the Northeast and the heroic and unyielding spirit of the Northeast people.
"Once Upon a Time in the Northeast" takes place during the "Puppet Manchukuo" regime. After graduating from the "Manchurian Police School", Ma Tianyang resolutely joined the Communist Party of China and became an underground member of the Communist Party in Harbin. The whereabouts of former classmates in the police academy are strange and unpredictable, the former lover fled out of fear of betrayal, and the police chief who seemed to have a rough style was loyal and kind... In that war-torn and turbulent era, only loyalty was faith, only faith could be relied on, and we sang a tragic song of revolution together in the Northeast.
"Anecdotes from Guandong", there are two popular gambling methods in Guandong casinos. One is smooth gambling, gambling on money, gambling houses, gambling places, spending huge amounts of money, this is a big gamble, a big gamble.
There is also another kind of gambling. If you have no wealth, money, land, or penniless, you can just gamble, bet on your wife, children, and children, and bet on your own life. Putting one's own life at risk in the casino, and even using the lives of one's wife and children as gambling capital, this gambling method is called horizontal gambling.
Reader comments
The author Shi Zhongshan is not only a famous screenwriter, but also a famous modern novelist. His ability to describe stories, control reality, and describe story lines is very good. Shi Zhongshan recorded his experiences, knowledge and feelings in the Northeast. He is from the Northeast and loves the Northeast. With his full enthusiasm and love, he narrated an unforgettable story about the Northeast. In the trance of reading, we followed the author back to the steaming black land of Northeast China.
Although this book tells the story of the Anti-Japanese War and the Kuomintang-Communist Period. But the conflict was not written very sharply. Each chapter can be seen as a short story. Although it tells the story of espionage during the war, it also tells the story of emotions between people. It makes the characters more real and outstanding in character creation. The narrative is concise and to the point. Perhaps the author is from the Northeast, so he has deep feelings and understanding of the customs, scenery and construction there. The Northeast is written in a shining light and deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
This book makes me want to go to Northeast China and visit Harbin. See if the people there are as heroic and fearless as I wrote. How the buildings there carry that history. The book tells the story of the Anti-Japanese War. Only loyalty is faith, and only faith can be relied on. Let me see the tragedy of the Northeast Revolution that year. Although it is a spy story, it is not deliberately mysterious. The characters in the book are both male and female, and they are all admirable. They are not one-sided, they have their fears and beliefs too. This is the attraction.
