In the fourth century AD, the Central Plains was sinking, barbarians were roaming freely, and the lives of the children of the Han family were like grass. In this darkest moment, Ran Min, a warrior with a complicated life experience and unparalleled bravery, tore through the haze of the era like bloody thunder.
He started from a young age and was once the adopted grandson of Emperor Jie Zhao Shi Hu. In the end, he raised the banner of "killing Hu" and established Ran Wei, trying to carve out a bloody path for the endangered Han civilization. His double blades, on one hand, represent the hope of saving the ethnic group, and on the other hand, they commit the crime of killing innocent people; his figure is both the "King of Wu Mourning" who can turn the tide, and the "Bloody Butcher" who has been controversial for thousands of years.
This book reproduces the tragic epic of blood and fire with magnificent writing and deep compassion. From the decisive battle of Liantai, which determined China's destiny, to the execution of the hero at the Rexing Mountain; from the complicated examination of the victor Murong Yan, to the indifferent talk of the Jiangdong gentry, to the blood and tears of the Hebei survivors - we try to travel through the fog of history and explore a core paradox: When an individual's unyielding will hits the irreversible torrent of history, what kind of glorious and tragic echoes will be stirred up?
This is not only a biography about Ran Min, but also a profound reflection on ethnic conflicts, violent resistance, historical evaluation and the complexity of human nature. He is a bloody wonder born in the dark age. His merits and demerits stand like an eternal bloody monument in the long river of history, leaving endless comments and sighs to future generations.
