Douban 8.8 Points! The winning works of the 3rd Mao Dun Literature Award! A representative work of modern and contemporary Chinese historical novels. After forty-seven years of hard work, Mr. Xu Xingye began to brew it in 1938. After going through many vicissitudes of history, it was published in four volumes in 1985. During the reign of Emperor Huizong of the Northern Song Dynasty, the singing and dancing in Bianjing remained the same, and it seemed that the world was peaceful and peaceful. The imperial court and the Jin Kingdom reached a "maritime alliance" to jointly attack the Liao Kingdom, forcing Liao Na to surrender, and the recovery of Yanjing was just around the corner. Zhong Shidao, a veteran general in the DPRK, was forced to go into battle in a hurry under the emperor's order. The energetic young military general Ma Kuo said goodbye to his newlywed wife Ga Niang and headed to northern Xinjiang to regain his territory. However, the dream of Tokyo passed away in a blink of an eye, and the sunset of Jingkang was full of blood and tears. The building is about to collapse, and all living beings under the violent storm are struggling to survive in pain...

During the reign of Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, the Song, Liao and Jin Dynasties each occupied one side. The Jin Kingdom was strong and powerful, while the Liao Kingdom had many disadvantages. However, since the Chanyuan Alliance, the Northern Song Dynasty thought that the world was peaceful and relaxed its vigilance. This book takes the military general Ma Kuo as the main character and the experiences and achievements of his family as the main line. It tells the history from the maritime alliance agreement between the Song Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty to jointly attack the Liao Kingdom, to the Jin Kingdom tearing up the alliance and sending troops southward, the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty, and the Song Emperor Gaozong's settlement in a corner of the south of the Yangtze River. During this period, there were changes of dynasties, ups and downs of personnel, flashes of swords, and wolves running wildly. Patriots cut off their heads and poured out their blood, sang generous laments, eunuchs and jesters manipulated power to slander loyalty... The author uses magnificent pen and ink, elegant writing, materialistic view of history and superb historical insights to write a magnificent historical picture in a majestic and meticulous manner. Sometimes it makes people gasp for breath, and sometimes it makes people cry.
