Synopsis

[Era + Three Generations Feud + Political Movement + Machiavellianism + Temptation] A blood-stained rural scroll, the life and death choices of three generations. A rural epic of love, hate and hatred that lasts for fifty years. The residents of Yangliuwan Village mainly have the surnames Yang and Liu. The representative of the Yang family, Yang Xiong, was a famous anti-Japanese hero during the Anti-Japanese War. He later died when he went south with the army, leaving behind a widow, Han Mei, and two sons and two daughters. Liu Laogui, the representative figure of the Liu family, became a deserter when he went south to fight. After returning to his hometown, he opportunistically joined the party and successfully controlled the grassroots political power. In 1968, an unprecedented revolutionary storm hit Yangliuwan Village. Liu Laogui seized this opportunity, labeled Han Mei as a counterrevolutionary, and shot her on the spot. Yang's eldest son, Yang Baoying, second son, Yang Baojie, and youngest daughter, Yang Shufang, were crazily persecuted by Liu Laogui because they lived with their mother. Yang Shufen, the daughter of the Yang family, had previously gotten married and had children in the provincial capital. She was also forced to divorce and was sent to a farm for rehabilitation. Yang Shufen rescued Qiao Guangjun, the decentralized leader of the original province, on the farm, and Qiao Guangjun was Yang Xiong's old subordinate. Qiao Guangjun's daughter Qiao Hongdian is in a relationship with Yang Baoying. Liu Wenji, a descendant of the Liu family, and Yang Baojie are brothers, and they were childhood sweethearts with Yang Shufang. Just when the revolutionary storm struck, Liu Wenji retired from the army and returned to the village. He was immediately faced with the difficult choices of survival and destruction, ideal and reality, friendship and love... Yang Baojie and Yang Shufang began their escape and struggle for more than ten years, and eventually became the best among men. During this period, the two brothers and sisters had complicated conflicts and entanglements with Liu Wenji.

Reader comments

Compared with those mindless period articles with cheats nowadays, I really prefer this kind of unpretentiousness. At the same time, this kind of article that describes the real thing can make me truly understand what I felt back then.

Among the many mediocre, artificial and empty works nowadays, this is a rare good article!

Extremely shocking. When I first saw the title of the book, I was a little confused. I didn't know what the author's intention was. I thought he was just trying to take advantage of the popularity. After reading it carefully, I realized that the title of the book is extremely appropriate. The author is creating a long scroll like "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" and then slowly unfolding it, so that the details of the times and the distortions of human nature are revealed one by one.

The two families of Yang and Liu are used to promote the development of the plot, telling the life and death choices of three generations, and writing a rural epic of love, hatred and hatred in that era.

9.6 Rating: a Good Article About Officialdom, Not Reborn, and You Can't Stop Reading It.

I want to read a book similar to "The Official Ladder". The plot of the story is twists and turns and vivid, and the narrative is not sloppy at all. It feels that the novel is close to life and very real. What is especially commendable is that the author has a profound understanding of social reality, a good grasp of the officialdom, and a good grasp of human beings.
