A biography of a history writer! The secret and backbone of Chinese civilization that can last for 5,000 years. I wrote it to a friend. I hope more friends will like it and comment more and interact more!
What kind of novel is this?
A novel about "restraint": it does not talk about grudges and grudges, nor does it write tragic songs about generosity. It writes about how a person used silence to fight against power and used forbearance to protect the truth over a long period of forty years. Its power is no longer exploding, but accumulating.
A "literary novel": the protagonist is not a general, a knight, or an emperor. He is a history writer. His battlefield is a desk and his weapon is a pen. All his heroism is to consider whether to leave or leave a word under the lamp.
A "meta-historical" novel: it not only tells a story, but also asks: How is history written? Who has the right to write history? Where did the deleted stuff go? Is it possible for the silenced voices to still be heard?
A book written for time: Chen Qing said in the novel that "history books are written for time." The novel itself is also written for time - it does not pursue a momentary sensation, but seeks to be read and understood over a long period of time. Just like Chen Shou's "Three Kingdoms", it waits silently for those readers who can read the truth between the words.
