This book is the first large-scale positive description of the Liberation War in the history of contemporary Chinese literature. The novel takes a company of the Chinese People's Liberation Army participating in the battles of Qinghua Bian, Panlong Town, Yulin, and Shajiadian as the main line. It artistically reproduces the historical scenes of the Yan'an Defense War in 1947, shapes the heroic images of the PLA officers and soldiers at all levels, and reveals the ideological proposition that the spirit of revolutionary heroism is the inner strength of war victory.
Reader comments
This book reminded me of "Red Rocks", both describing heroic deeds during the war. The war scenes and characters shown in the book are very vivid, which made me feel the tension and hardship of that era. I think we should cherish our current life and thank those who have sacrificed for peace. Just like my grandfather, he is also a veteran and has experienced the baptism of war. Every time I listen to him telling stories about the past, I can deeply understand the cruelty of war and the greatness of heroes. This book is really worth reading!
