This book was written by Llosa in Salia, Barcelona, ​​from 1973 to 1974. He also completed the film script of this book. The story is based on a true event: In order to solve the sexual hunger problem of soldiers stationed in the Amazon region, the Peruvian Army Headquarters organized a service team composed of labor girls. The service was so exaggerated and misrepresented that it became an appalling farce. The author uses a non-serious story (to satisfy the sexual needs of the military) to seriously criticize a major social and political issue (corruption of the military authorities). On the surface, he seriously reports on his work by quoting a large number of documents (including request reports, official correspondence, notices, radio comments, news reports, etc.). In fact, he quietly exposes and ridicules the bad phenomena incisively and vividly. After the book was published, it was once banned by Peruvian officials, but it gained widespread public attention.

Guo Ying's achievements in the "Biography of Heroes" mainly refer to the fact that Guo Ying killed Chen Youliang with one arrow in the Battle of Poyang Lake. Taizu praised Guo Ying for defeating a million soldiers with one arrow, and later Guo Ying was named the Marquis of Wu Ding. Guo Xun was his fifth great-great-grandson. He was later imprisoned and died for taking advantage of his favor and monopolizing power. There is also one titled "Jishan Xu Weiwen Changfu compiled". Xu Wenchang was a famous writer, calligrapher and painter in the middle of the Ming Dynasty. Neither argument is credible.

They also discovered the Taishi Realm with "Tao". It turns out that human beings mainly travel back and forth between these two worlds, just like sand grains in a two-way hourglass.
