Tu’er Ridge

"Tu'erling" is a novel written by He Xulin. It tells the story of the 800-mile Qinchuan River in the 18th year of the Republic of China when it encountered a severe drought that had never happened in a century, leading to famine, war and banditry. The novel shows the social conditions of that era and the complexity of human nature through the story of the protagonist Dunzi. After his parents were killed by the security team leader Luo Yuzhang, Dunzi left home in anger and accidentally entered a bandit's nest on the way. Eventually, a series of events happened on Tu'er Ridge, including being rescued by the young and beautiful Mrs. Yazhai Xueyan, and subsequent revenge and tragedy. "Tu'erling" is a novel with high literary value and historical significance. It not only successfully reproduces the social conditions during the Republic of China, but also attracts the attention of readers through vivid character descriptions and compact plots. Although there are some shortcomings, this does not prevent it from being a good book worth reading.

After reading it, the storyline is very attractive, and although the characterization is a bit thin, it is indeed a good book. 1. The main line of the story is Dunzi's revenge against Luo Yuzhang. After his revenge was successful, he was suddenly killed. This ending was indeed unexpected. 2. Xu Yunqing belongs to the Smiling Tiger series, with a simple and honest face, scheming, and a cold and cruel heart. But he is indeed a man. He is calm in situations and dares to cut off one of his own legs. He is really awesome. I agree with Xifeng's evaluation of him: the scorpion behind the door - stings people from behind! 3. Xifeng dares to love and hate, and is bloody! Bravo! Thumbs up to Dunzi's wife for daring to pursue her own happiness! 4. The characters in the book have distinct personalities. Dunzi and Lengzi are straightforward and reckless, they value love and righteousness, and they are strong-blooded, but they are gunners in intrigues and plots, and they are thrown away as soon as they are used. Luo Yuzhang is ruthless and sinister, and he is also the biggest villain. Mr. Li has a reputation of being trustworthy, but in fact he is trustworthy and unrighteous. He can win over people and get rid of them without mercy. He is a ruthless and mature politician. 5. The rules of fighting beasts in the book: In the book, the reckless and straightforward ones (such as Dunzi) are taken advantage of, while the insidious ones (Xu Yunqing) cannot defeat the vicious ones (Luo Yuzhang). The highest-ranking one is Master Xinyi, who has a gun and a plan in his hand, and kills without blinking an eye. 5. The Guanzhong area in the book is rich in three things: bandits, prostitutes and random bombs.

Recommended points: 1. A rich sense of history: Taking the drought and banditry in the Republic of China as the background, it vividly restores the struggles of the bottom characters in the troubled times of Guanzhong and presents the survival dilemma in the turbulent era; 2. Three-dimensional character creation: the protagonist Dunzi's transformation from a son of a good family to an avenger is extremely tense. The images of bandits such as Liu Shisan break stereotypes and show complex human nature and social roots; 3. Realistic criticism: Through the tragic ending of the protagonist being exploited, it reveals the cruelty of power and fate, which is more realistic than the film and television adaptation. Areas for improvement: 1. The plot is slightly clichéd: the main line of revenge and some emotional lines are slightly stereotyped, similar to the narrative framework of traditional period dramas; 2. The secondary characters are thin: characters such as Mrs. Yazhai Xueyan lack in-depth characterization and are relatively functional; 3. Controversy over the depiction of violence: Some bloody scenes and vulgar metaphors may affect the universality of the work.

Dunzi was still too kind, and the two assassinations were not ruthless enough, and he ended up ruining himself. Alas, if you are not ruthless, how can you be talented? How can it be accomplished? After reading all the author's works, the narrative of this one is more grand. Since I watched it intermittently, I confused Dunzi and Shuanzi in the middle, and I didn't appreciate some of the plots carefully, so it seemed like I had to watch it a second time. 2025.7.6 1:39 Am I can't sleep after watching this

From conception to chronology to written expression, this book can be regarded as a masterpiece of literature and is worth reading.

It has a strong local flavor and a fascinating storyline!

It is well written, real and attractive, and describes the dialect and customs of Guanzhong.

Not bad. It's just that Dunzi and Chen Lengzi are worthless and taken advantage of by Li Xinyi, especially Chuni. It's so miserable!

Is "Once Upon a Time in Guanzhong" based on this?

The language is simple and has local characteristics, which is very contagious. The plot is vivid and the characters are vividly portrayed!
