At the end of the Qing Dynasty, a frightening fire broke out in the old city of Northeast China, causing Guan Fukang and Guan Ying to rush back to their hometown from the capital. The Revolution of 1911 destroyed the Qing Dynasty. Although their ancestors followed Nurhachi to conquer the world, the two men, who had changed their surnames to Han Chinese, decided not to return to the capital.
From the Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China, and then from the Japanese invasion of China to the establishment of New China, Guan Fukang and Guan Yingye went from sighing, hoping to being disappointed, from sadness and indignation to excitement. Finally, I saw the country I cherished so much grow from poverty to strength.
The novel takes Guan Ying as the main line and describes his life experience in the old city from the late Qing Dynasty to the founding of New China. He never said he was patriotic, but he would try his best to do anything that was beneficial to the country and the nation. The novel also tells the stories of characters related to him, shows the language and customs with Northeastern characteristics, and tries its best to restore the ups and downs that happened on the black land centered on the old Northeastern city.
Reader comments
Changes in the old city of Jilin
It is indeed a good book, with a vivid and tortuous plot, rich characters, good narration, and full of positive energy. Unfortunately, the climax is not outstanding, or there is no climax.
In addition, the Northeast's regional characteristics are also very obvious.
The rhythm is tight, the story is exciting, and the characters are charming [Like][Like][Like]
The process of reading is like having a cordial conversation with my hometown, chatting about daily life, talking about the past, learning more about the past and present life of the old city, and getting to know my grandparents and myself more deeply. For those who are traveling abroad, it is the happiest thing to be able to dock at the dock back to their hometown when they are tired, because the blood of Jilin people has long been integrated with the Songhua River that nurtures us!
A happy ending, let good people have good results, and let all evildoers go to see King Yan.
The author is of high standard and I hope to see your masterpiece again.
The writing is very contemporary and the geographical names are accurate.
