The novel "Mountains and Rivers" (original name: "The Smell of Truth") is a work with a revolutionary historical theme. Through the ups and downs of historical facts, real three-dimensional characters, and interlocking contradictions, it panoramically tells and shows the story of the revolutionaries headed by Chen Wangdao in the early last century who were not afraid of power, had the courage to fight, and worked hard for the realization of communism. As a tribute work for the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Party and the 80th anniversary of the founding of the Democratic League, the novel has a very special significance. I believe it will attract many readers to watch and comment upon its release. At the same time, it is also very helpful for studying the history of the Communist Manifesto.
