   Have you ever read a martial arts novel that aligns with socialist historical materialism? The second volume, "Journey to the Medicine Capital," aims to showcase, in a different way, the anti-exploitation and anti-violence actions that arise when serious conflicts arise between laborers and exploiters over the distribution of benefits. The exploited simultaneously become a new exploiting class, demonstrating the dialectical unity of contradictions and the law of quantitative change leading to qualitative change. 🤭 Doesn't it sound like a political lesson? However, it's essentially still an interesting martial arts novel. It doesn't preach rigidly; it's better if you can gain some insights while reading the story.
