One song fills the river with red, and one song leaves the liver and gallbladder untouched. So many passionate sons and daughters have spilled their blood on the fertile soil on the road of struggle for hundreds of years. [Like][Like][Like][Like][Like][Like]

Master Mo Yan's writing skills are superb. Among Master Mo's many works, this is the bloodiest, most terrifying, and most soul-impacting work I have ever read. Master Mo's foreshadowing and narration of "Beheading Punishment", "Lingchi Punishment", "Sandalwood Punishment", etc. Are vivid and vivid. He describes the psychological and behavioral states of the torture champions such as Grandma Yu and Zhao Jia in detail, penetrating into the bone marrow and reaching the soul, vividly showing their cruelty, cold-bloodedness and insensitivity. The cruel and bloody descriptions in the article simply cannot bear to be looked at or read carefully, and some dare not read or imagine those horrific scenes. Sometimes they even dare not read the chapters about torture at night. Master Mo's skills are sophisticated and his writing is extraordinary. The master is the master! For readers of this work, from a personal point of view, this is my impression after reading it. Don't read it for the faint of heart!

After reading it, I felt quite shocked. I have heard a saying before that if there is a classic, the most important thing is not its plot but the characters in it. The person who told me this sentence gave me an example using Journey to the West. Speaking of Journey to the West, people who have read it will most likely have a very three-dimensional image of Sun Wukong in their minds, and will think of his demeanor, personality, and character. When it comes to the plot, many people can only remember it in general, and will not have such a clear impression. What shocked me about Sandalwood Punishment was the three-dimensionality of the characters. The most prominent one is Qian Ding. There are two chapters with Qian Ding's voice in the book. For the first time, I felt that Qian Ding was an honest official who cared about the people. Therefore, when the plot of "Qian Ding pulling Sun Bing's beard" appeared, I couldn't believe it and was suspicious. Later, when I saw his tendency to follow people's influence, I lamented the world situation in which "the highest official level crushes people to death", and at the same time I felt sad for Qian Ding's actions. In my heart, I also defended Qian Ding on my own: He had no choice, but in fact he was still good in his heart, and he was still the honest and upright official. As soon as the scene of riding a horse to plead for the people came out, I felt something in my heart fell to the ground. I thought to myself that he was still the honest and upright official, even though he was not successful in the end. My view of Qian Ding has been wandering between black and white, turning into a patch of light and dark gray, so his image suddenly became very three-dimensional. My admiration for Qian Ding reached its climax during the hanging scene, and then fell again during the conversation with his wife. Being able to create such a mentality in readers is one of the manifestations of good writing in my opinion. There are "Zhao Jia", "Sun Bing" and "Qian Ding" in the work, but there is no "B". However, if you think about it carefully, you will start to wonder whether this "B" is a place reserved for readers. Because the appearance of A, B, and D makes people think of B, but there is no B in the story, so when reading, I feel like I am immersed in the scene, as if I am a changeable person mixed with different light and dark sides, and different positions. The reader can be B, Wang Yi, Li Yi, Hu Yi... I don't know if this is an ingenious idea of ​​the author, but I find it very interesting. "Sandalwood Punishment" allowed me to see the plight and struggle of the people at the bottom of the Qing Dynasty, and to re-understand the history discussed in detail in the textbooks from a different perspective. It seems that the signing of treaties and the like, and the voices of surrender to the great powers, are floating in the distant sky. Although the book does not mention it in detail, every ray of light and every rain in the sky actually hits the ground where the readers and characters stand.

Qian Xiongfei and Liu Junzi added a different color to this book. Looking at the people drifting with the crowd, they are the only ones who stand firm and use magical images to write about their persistence in their beliefs. Good book

The narration is transparent and the description is precise, like a silent roll of black and white film, truly projected in front of your eyes. Although it is silent, there is always a cat voice reverberating passionately deep in your soul. Listen carefully, and in the silent place, it feels like thunder is booming! It is a small drama about the suffering of the common people under the background of the torrent of the times at the beginning of the last century, but it is also a big drama about the ups and downs of a family and a country!

I just turned a few pages and was amazed at how professional and down-to-earth the lyrics were. I thought it was amazing that a literary writer could write such a script out of thin air. Until I turned to the last chapter, a question suddenly popped into my head. Does this cat-voice opera really exist? The characters in the play are lifelike, just like real historical figures running, singing cat tricks, crying, and angry in front of me. After reading the author's reason for writing this book, I am even more in awe. Thank you, Teacher Mo, for sharing such a good story with us. Folk culture will not be forgotten just because someone sees and knows about it. This is not a step back. Looking at the year 2000 from the perspective of 2025, you are really prescient.

Yes. The drama of the old society is finally over

"Sandalwood Punishment" opened the door to my understanding of Chinese punishments. As the name suggests, it is antique but also extremely terrifying, resembling the fatal blow of an elegant and beautiful woman. After reading it, I realized what a cruel profession the executioner is. There are so many torture devices, which is really scary. I like the Mao tune in it the most. Folk characteristics can best reflect the life of the lower class people in China. This book is a story written in the form of Mao tune. Just like the Mao tune itself, it is mainly sad. The late Qing Dynasty is destined to be a tragic era. China's backwardness and decadence are destined to be beaten. Even if there is a spark, it will take time to start a prairie fire. Sun Bing's last swan song, the last swan song of the Mao tune team, is also the swan song of the Qing Dynasty.

This is my first time reading Teacher Mo Yan's masterpiece, and I am really spoiled by tomatoes! This text is as graceful and free as a drama, giving readers the feeling of humming a tune while watching the drama, and the emotions and sorrows of the characters in the book are vividly displayed before their eyes! Thanks Tomato for recommending such a great product to me!

I started reading this book when I was in school, and then I discovered that it was also available on Tomato, so I started reading it after procrastinating it for a long time. But as soon as I started reading it, I found that it is very readable and enjoyable to read, and the characters are very personalized. , And they are all very full, each person's position has their own core issues, and everyone is doing things for themselves. For example, Qian Ding, he thinks about his own personal development, the love between his children and the national justice, which is very full and makes people feel deeply. It also continues in the choice of words and sentences. Mr. Yu Hua has a consistent simplicity and local flavor. Later in the book, he mentioned that this is a very specific and vivid story to listen to, because there are so many sounds and words in it. Very interesting.

The blood of the Maoqiang troupe gathered together and flowed along the wooden trough on the edge of the stage to the wooden dragon mouths at the two corners of the stage. This was originally a place for draining rainwater, but now it has become a bleeding mouth. Two streams of blood spurted out and dripped on the ground under the stage. The blood was excreted for a while and then gradually stopped flowing, one big drop, one big drop, one big drop, preciously, heavily, one big drop, one big drop, preciously, heavily... It was Tianlong's tears, yes. The people fled, leaving behind countless shoes and cat clothes that were trampled into shape, as well as several trampled corpses. Yu stared at the two bleeding faucet heads, watching them drip blood, one big drop, one big drop, tick tick tick, drip, not blood, but dragon's tears, yes.

Perhaps the most eye-catching and controversial aspect of the book is the description of torture. The six tortures in the book are described in detail, which makes me feel physically uncomfortable after reading it [face covering]. However, the book's analysis of bad habits in Chinese culture and human nature are quite profound. The executioner's humanity is alienated by power under torture, and the morbid aesthetic of watching people suffer is very shocking. In addition, the description of folklore in the book, such as the characteristics of drama such as Maoqiang, are very appropriately reflected in the book. Combined with modern history, this book is also a reflection of profound national struggle. My words may be a bit fragmented. I can write whatever I want [face covering] but in short, if you can endure the bloody scenes, this book is worth reading [Admiration] Guan Lao's books really have their own characteristics [Love]

When watching singing programs, I often hear comments about showing off one's skills and comments on skills and emotions. Reading this book, I really felt the superb skills of writing. The superb skills serve the sincere feelings. It is a good book! There are many books that have wonderful descriptive passages, well-depicted characters, and eye-catching storylines, but they blur the background and details of the era, and because they fail to understand them in depth, they are too realistic and can easily be exposed. Therefore, writers in the past had to first collect stories, go deep into the grassroots, and study history before starting to write. Only in this way can such works be established. Of course, I also like to read works that are attractive solely because of their writing style, but master-level works are more likely to be engraved in my heart.

It's great. At first, I just thought that the character was like this, but I didn't expect it to be reversed later. The character is created so well! It feels so much like sitting in the audience watching a show!

The first novel I read in 2025, thank you Yunling. If it weren't for Yunling, I wouldn't have the determination to read it. Zhao Jia's Ah Q spirit, Mei Niang's lovesickness, Qian Ding's inner conflict, Zhao Xiaojia's purity, and Sun Bing's heroism. . . . . . Lingchi torture and sandalwood torture are so unforgettable that they cannot be filmed, but watching the movie in your mind is even more chilling. Sudden awakening! How stupid I am! Zhao Qian, Sun Li, A, B, C and D, but there is no B. Should the readers be brought in? It must have been brought in. At least when I read it, I didn't realize the characteristics of these names. Afterwards, I realized that this would be really stupid.

The book "Sandalwood Punishment" describes an extremely cruel punishment - Sandalwood Punishment. To put it simply, a good sandalwood prong is inserted through the person's tailbone and out from the back of the neck without damaging the internal organs. The person will not die on the spot. The victim will be in agony, but he can still live for 4-5 days. This kind of punishment simply makes life worse than death. . . [Awkward laugh][awkward laugh][awkward laugh]

Blowing wrinkles into a pool of spring water, leisurely attracting mandarin ducks to the fragrant path. Telling the truth, thinking wildly, a voice echoes. Be fearless, be generous, and be unforgettable. When it comes to heroes, who is a hero? If your heart is upright, you are a hero!

Teacher Mo Yan writes really well. Personally, I think Teacher Mo Yan painted the characters of that era vividly and beautifully.

Genius design structure! 1. Part One: Feng Tou - Multiple people monologue, each talking about their "previous love". 2. Part Two: Pork Belly - Go back and act out what happened in the night. 3. Part Three: Leopard Tail - Switch back to the character's perspective to wrap up the ending. The subjective perspective + objective perspective confirm and subvert each other. In the first part, everyone speaks with their own opinions, prejudices, and selfishness. Only in the second part do we see that the truth is often different from what they said. This way of writing kept me thinking: "Oh, so that's what he thought, but the truth is...". The reading is very layered and has great stamina.

Great, the story is bizarre and has musical rhythm, it has the tragedy of patriotism and love of family, the generosity of the hero, the conflicts between the characters and the emotions between people, helplessness, kindness and help. A very good book.

The description is delicate and fascinating, and it talks about that old era. Isn't it the same now?

Perhaps behind every confused madman, there is a disappointed idealist, but Mo Yan's disappointment is more unforgettable and difficult to swallow. In the end, he is presented in such a stunning and brilliant work, where the delicate brushstrokes and vigor coexist, and the vastness and profundity of his thoughts coexist. His talent and erudition are impressive.

2025.3.8 Listen and read The author prefers to use first-person narration of characters, and Life and Death Fatigue is also in this style. This book describes in depth the different attitudes from the government to the people during the invasion of foreign nations through the people's protection of the national hero represented by Sun Bing. The written expression is presented in the singing form of Maoqiang (Maoqiang), which records this niche traditional art while narrating.

Everyone has their own love, and as Teacher Mo Yan wrote in the postscript, I may have been infected by the feelings of my family and country. But the plot of this book is gradually fascinating, with a touch of magical reality, and the profound writing power of Teacher Mo Yan attracted me into that era, as if I was personally there. Zhao Jia, Sun Bing, Qian Ding and Sun Meiniang from Gaomi Northeast Township. Guangxu, the Six Gentlemen, Qian Xiongfei. That era was truly the darkest era in China. Thank you to our predecessors for bringing us into the light.

I finished reading this book on February 14, 2025. It was so shocking. The book contains the love between the sons and daughters of big people and the heart-stirring emotions of small people. Under the historical background of a country that will not be a country, it was written on the land of Northeast Gaomi Township. Such a shocking story was written on the ground of Gaomi Northeast Township. Regarding the legendary stories of gods, Master Mo is simply a rare genius in the literary and art world. The strange and weird stories he writes are filled with endless allegories. The most down-to-earth and divine way of satirizing the past and the present. To use the most popular words at the moment, it is called Jue Jue Zi! There are many brutal descriptions of the execution of criminal law in this book that are indeed too horrifying and even disgusting. However, I thought it would be much easier to read it as a fable novel. I only realized this after reading it. I didn't dare to make a single comment during the reading process. Some passages made me hold my breath while reading and I didn't dare to take a breath... Good book [Like]

This book takes sandalwood torture as the main line, showing the cruelty of feudal royal power and the tragedy of little people. The plot of the story has ups and downs, making people feel uneasy after watching it. As Mo Yan said, there is an executioner hidden in each of us. The book also quotes Mao Qiang, which is so unique! "As soon as the sun rose brightly, German soldiers arrived from Jiaozhou Bay." This description is impressive. Recommended reading!

Be sure to read it to the end. Just like a particularly wonderful movie, the author describes it very delicately. Every time you read a fragment, a corresponding picture emerges. It is worth savoring.

Very good, the character description is very vivid, the content is quite bloody, but it is more beautiful. I feel it is not as good as what is said on the Internet. After reading Ling Chi's chapter (Chapter 9), I didn't feel any physical discomfort. I really just felt a shock. I recommend reading it [Like]

"Sandalwood Punishment" is a somewhat romantic and localized novel. The story still takes place in Northeast Gaomi Township. It is a cat-voiced tragedy presented to us by Sun Bing, Zhao Jia, Qian Ding and others, a song of sacrifice for family and country to resist Germany. Maoqiang is a voice that runs through the whole book and is also the carrier of the author's verse format. The characters are different and the tone is tragic but not depressing.
