    In the middle and later stages of this book, there are stories about the hatred between the country and the family, such as the ritual of leading a sheep, the song of singing, and thangka made of human skin, etc. Almost all of them are real punishments in history. Not to mention the sheep-drawing ceremony, the singing ceremony involves people dancing on a red-hot iron plate and being burned to death, and the human skin thangka involves skinning people alive and painting on them. There is also a plot where people are tied up and the enemy randomly selects a prisoner and shoots him for his body parts. There are even scenes of cannibalism during famine. The author tries to write less cruel and superficial things, otherwise he will be blocked.
