During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, there were 90 years of troubled times. The emperor had strong soldiers and horses, and dynasties changed like a revolving lantern.
Qin Feng, a beggar from Qingzhou, whose parents died when he was 6 years old, wanders around begging and sees all kinds of things in the world. At the age of 12, he had no money to study, so he went to school to study secretly, and was bullied and beaten by his peers. At the age of 14, he won over 6 peers with his help and charisma and formed the "Seven Tigers" team.
At the age of 16, Qin Feng first laid out the overall situation, designed to dismantle three towns in the north, and put an end to the troubled times. At the age of 18, the layout was successful and he became famous. At the age of 19, he planned to end the troubled times by 50%. At the age of 22, he adopted economic reforms and contained the fire of the troubled times by 50%.
However, the root of the troubled times is far more complicated than imagined. Qin Feng joined the army, from centurion to deputy envoy, from counselor to soldier fairy, from soldier fairy to prime minister. He went through the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms and witnessed the changes of heroes such as Zhu Wen, Li Keyong, Li Cunxu, Shi Jingtang, Liu Zhiyuan, Guo Wei, Chai Rong, Zhao Kuangyin and so on.
At the age of 37, Qin Feng helped Chai Rong regain the sixteen states of Yanyun, pacify the Southern Tang Dynasty, and unite the world. But just when his ideal was about to materialize, Qin Feng discovered that the essence of power is not to quell chaos, but to create chaos.
At the age of 44, Chenqiao mutinied and the Song Dynasty was established. Qin Feng refused to serve Zhao Kuangyin, retired to Zhongnan Mountain, taught his apprentice Lin Xiao, and wrote "The General Essentials of Martial Arts".

Book review of "Wind Rises Mountains and Rivers": An orphaned baby in troubled times uses the wind as a blade to open up thousands of miles of mountains and rivers
During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, wars raged in the sky, people died of hunger everywhere, and human lives were like grass. "The Wind Rises the Mountains and Rivers" starts from this darkest scorched earth, and turns the birth of a baby into an epic of blood and tears of survival in troubled times.
The protagonist Qin Feng has been besieged by war, famine, and military disasters before he was born. His parents struggled to stay with each other on the edge of life and death, using the humblest persistence to protect him a glimmer of life. From dying in infancy to dying several times in desperate situations, every breath he takes is on the tip of a knife in troubled times, and every survival is filled with the unyieldingness of ordinary people in troubled times.
The story does not have the natural sense of trickery, only the shocking reality at every step. The war is chaotic, refugees are everywhere, ferocious beasts are around, and people are suffering from injuries and illnesses. All the desperate situations are layered on top of each other, making the word survival extremely heavy. Qin Laoshi and his wife's life-for-life family affection, the weak but undying goodwill in troubled times, and the silent foreshadowing of the old book, make there always be a resilience hidden in the sad background.
The text is desolate and thick, and the picture has a strong sense of imagery. Reading it is like being in the blood and earth of the setting sun, where you can see not only the suffering of the world, but also the glimmer of the human heart. Qin Feng started in the dust and grew up in suffering. His character is hidden in troubled times, and his edge is hidden in silence. Just like the title of the book - starting with the wind, using the heart as the soldier, he will eventually open up thousands of miles of mountains and rivers.
This is not only a coming-of-age legend, but also a song of life for ordinary people in troubled times. The more I read, the more heart-wrenching it becomes, the more I read, the more shocked it becomes, and its lasting power makes people unforgettable for a long time.
