Green Bricks Falling

Introduction to the novel During the years of raging war, three generations of the Huangfu family were unable to have a complete reunion dinner. The turmoil of the Republic of China destroyed their ancestral halls, and the flames of war burned away the land deeds. Some people fell under the bayonets of the invaders, and some disappeared in the wind of troubled times. In the end, only a mother was left, struggling to support herself with her children. She is the backbone of the Huangfu family. She lost everything in the turmoil, leaving only the instinct of "living". She buried her husband's bones with her own hands, sold her black hair on the way to escape, and knelt down at the enemy's door in exchange for a mouthful of rice. But when her youngest daughter was kidnapped into a Japanese soldier's truck, this woman who had been silent all her life resolutely raised her hatchet: "The blood of my royal family can starve to death or die in battle, but they must not be dragged away like animals!" This is a woman's resistance, and it is also the awakening of the backbone of a nation. From the ancestral home with blue bricks and black tiles to the battlefield where blood and flesh are everywhere, the men of the Huangfu family protect the mountains and rivers with their lives on the front line, while the women defend their homeland with blood and tears in the rear. When the giant wheel of history rolls over, they turn into the hardest bricks - they can be crushed, but they can never be bent. A history of the Huangfu family is a miniature modern history of China. Watch the stoic mother carrying the mighty times with her humblest posture; watch the ordinary Chinese burning their faith in "life" into an everlasting beacon in the broken mountains and rivers.
