The novel tells the story of the ups and downs of the two major families in Qingfeng Street, the Bai family and the Xia family, from the perspective of a madman. The Bai family has long declined, and the changes of the Xia family have evolved into a symbol of Qingfeng Street, Shaanxi and even rural China...

Reader comments

The writing style of the book "Qin Opera" is very unique, and the writing style is simple and vivid. I like that the book tells the story from the perspective of a madman. This special narrative method makes me feel very novel. Moreover, the life on Qingfeng Street described in the novel made me seem to be able to see the joys and sorrows of people in that era. I think this is a book worth reading. It gave me a deeper understanding of the historical changes in rural China.

A history of rural people's struggle! The persistence and impatience of reality of the elderly farmers come to life on the page, truly reproducing the confusion and hardship of rural society.

It is well written. I also lived in a rural area when I was a child. It is very sentimental and touching.
