Four Generations Under One Roof (Part 1, Part 2) (Classic Translation)

The novel takes the life of four generations of the Qi family living under one roof in Xiaoyangquan Hutong, Peking as the main line, and uses the Marco Polo Bridge Incident and the fall of Peiping as the background. It describes the severe tests and tragic experiences faced by the people of Peiping during the Anti-Japanese War. The work uses vivid language to describe the historical moment when the country was destroyed and the city was destroyed. The various strata of Peiping, represented by the residents of Xiaoyangquan Hutong, went from being confused and uneasy when facing the Japanese invaders, to enduring humiliation under the brutal rule of the Japanese army, and finally to the process of awakening and resistance.
