    Reader note

    Dear friends! A revolutionary legend told through over 300 folk songs is now available on Tomato Bookstore! If you think revolutionary stories are all formal textbooks, then "The Legendary Folk Songs of Chixi Village in Western Fujian" will completely change your mind. Three highlights worth savoring: 1. Folk songs transmit intelligence, even more ingenious than spy movies! Can you imagine? In the deep mountains of western Fujian in 1929, revolutionary predecessors used bold and unrestrained folk songs to transmit military intelligence and organize uprisings. "Is the opposite cliff high? It's three feet and three inches higher than the sky"—this line is an emergency evacuation signal; "Tigers and leopards have risen in the mountains, hunters quickly load their guns"—this line is an enemy warning. The reactionary militia invited an old scholar to decipher the folk song code, while our heroes hid the intelligence in the "December Long-Term Worker's Tune," which everyone sang. A covert war, using folk songs as a codebook and the mountains as a megaphone, quietly unfolded among the lush forests and bamboo groves. The local militia never dreamed that the familiar songs of woodcutters and fishermen, which they had heard countless times, were actually a secret intelligence network spanning more than twenty villages in western Fujian. This battle of wits and courage was more thrilling than any spy drama! II. Grassroots Heroes, Each One Vivid! Fu Bijin, the King of Folk Songs, was bold and meticulous, able to sing a song at a moment's notice. When questioned by the militia, he remained calm and sang eight old folk songs on the spot to deceive them. Fu Biyuan, the hunter, was a crack shot, striking fear into the hearts of the enemy with his hunting rifle. Under the cover of night, he even took down the guard dog of a local bully to avenge his impoverished fellow villagers. And then there was Fu Tieren, only nineteen years old, who gave away his entire fortune to run a night school, secretly joined the Party's peasant association, and led an uprising, living up to the name "Iron Man" with his blood, sacrificing his life at the young age of nineteen. They were all native men of western Fujian, dirt poor, but their spirits were as hard as oak. As you read, you'll feel as if you're standing on Jinlong Mountain by the Chixi River, singing folk songs with them, gripping spears on the eve of the uprising, and planting the red flag atop the bunker at dawn of victory. III. Over three hundred original folk songs, stories you can hear! This isn't dry writing on paper, but a soulful narrative strung together in the authentic flavor of Western Fujian folk songs. Every plot is enhanced by a folk song—rugged like a tiger roaring through the mountains, "The poor man's bones are as hard as iron, even if the King of Hell marks his name"; tender like a babbling brook, "Blood stains the mountain flowers red, the hero's spirit soars like a rainbow." These folk songs are not embellishments, but the bones and flesh of the story, the inextinguishable fire in the hearts of revolutionaries. Opening this book is like sitting under an old camphor tree in Chixi Village, listening to an old man who experienced those war-torn years, gently singing the legends of those years. IV. Chixi Village is a land of outstanding people and beautiful scenery; the stories beyond the stories are equally moving. After reading the novel, you will surely exclaim: This land produces more than just heroes! During the Liberation War, Chixi Village produced Fu Guang'an, a district head who was only eighteen years old. He served as the head of Nanyang District and tragically died at the age of twenty-one, a life recorded in history. Huang Caisheng, a cowherd, was a thirteen-year-old children's corps leader during the uprising. He later became a commander of the New Fourth Army Corps, making outstanding contributions in battles such as the Battle of Huangqiao. He died young in central Jiangsu due to illness, dedicating his life to fulfilling revolutionary ideals. The Chixi Village Revolutionary Martyrs Memorial Tower, built in 1963, bears inscriptions by three founding generals—Major General Yang Shangru, Fu Linbiao, and Senior Colonel Huang Peng—who offered their deepest remembrance and respect to the 218 revolutionary martyrs of their hometown. Even in peacetime, Chixi Village continues to produce outstanding individuals. Fu Guangzhang, born in 1935, graduated from Tongji University in Shanghai in 1960. He volunteered to work in Tibet for twenty-six years, dedicating himself to urban and rural planning and construction on the Tibetan Plateau. Later, he served as the director of the Urban Construction Committee of the Xiamen Municipal People's Congress and was appointed as Xiamen's "Green Ambassador." Fu Ganchun, born in 1942, also known as Bingzhu, was the principal of Liancheng No. 1 Middle School and the director of the county education bureau. A renowned calligrapher and educator, his small-script calligraphy works have been circulated in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, Germany, France, Italy, Austria, and other countries. His works were awarded a special gold medal by the China Academy of Calligraphy and Painting Collection. His works are included in publications such as "Sixty Years of Calligraphy and Painting in New China" and "World Expo Chinese Art Classics." He was named one of the "2010 Touching Figures in Chinese Art" by the China Art Society. His poem "Ode to Chixi Weishan" is elegantly written, capturing the beauty of his hometown's landscape: "Chixi's scenic beauty, a blessed land for villagers. A thousand years of spring colors, ten thousand years of traces. My heart is filled with longing, hoping you will cherish it!" Every line is imbued with deep affection for his homeland. The young people of western Fujian who can sing folk songs are indomitable and unyielding. From revolutionary martyrs to founding generals, from engineers aiding Tibet to educators and calligraphers, the land of Chixi Village has produced outstanding talents generation after generation. The author of this story is none other than Mr. Fu Shuiheng (pen name 26182811), born in 1968. The old gentleman collected and organized the folk songs passed down orally from the red soil of western Fujian, using his pen to recreate that epic and stirring era of war. He's currently at the peak of his writing career, saying he could create for another 40 years—haha, this old rascal, his heart is burning with passion! The story has been successfully signed and published on Tomato Bookstore. I just finished reading it and wanted to let you all know. Dear readers, remember to leave a heartwarming message for Mr. Fu after reading. Your encouragement is his greatest motivation, louder than the bugle call he heard back then! At the end of each story, the old gentleman leaves a cautionary message and profound reflection—his greatest sincerity to you all—he's already thought of everything for us, haha. Finally, I sincerely thank you all for taking the time to slow down and read this legendary folk song sung with the lives of these western Fujian ancestors in today's fast-paced and efficiency-driven world. The Chixi River flows day and night, and the mountain songs never cease. Search for "The Legendary Tale of Mountain Songs in Chixi Village, Western Fujian" on Tomato Bookstore and listen to a heroic mountain song sung from the valley in 1929 to this day!

    After an unknown amount of time, Jiang Huaijing turned to look at her, his voice gentle, "Let's call her Yu Suizhi." "The 'zhi' from 'Shan You Mu Xi Mu You Zhi,' and the 'sui' from 'Sui Sui Chang Xiang Jian.'" The girl blinked, smiled softly, and nodded. She liked the name, she really liked it. Seeing her liking it, Jiang Huaijing smiled too, and from then on, the Nine Heavens were filled with more laughter and joy.
