The Age of Hu Nian

Let's stick to writing history; the officialdom and reality are too dangerous.

Keep it up! Write what you want to write, don't pander to the readers. Aim for the Mao Dun Literature Prize. These days, people are into fast-food culture. They like to read lighthearted, slapstick fiction.

A very good book. It is rooted in life, close to reality, with sound ideas, clear purpose, and well-crafted language that makes it hard to put down.

Can you please use a little logic? Are you writing about the Republic of China era? Does "poor mountains breed unruly people"? Are all rural people this unreasonable? And this is a village of hundreds of people? And then they all turn over a new leaf after receiving a few small favors?

This book is excellent. I remember reading the author's *The Grand Scholar* back in 2013, and I was completely engrossed. I've followed the author all these years. It's a pity his works are all short, none exceeding a million words, which makes me worry about not having enough! This book is truly exceptional!

This book is seriously flawed! A widow completely controls the protagonist, who's a total coward. Forget about using love to reform them; the Japanese were driven away by force, not by persuasion. Why try to reform such despicable people with kindness? And that gold-digging prostitute—why doesn't the protagonist just block her? If he wants something, he should just say so. Why this coy pretense?

I've read your amazing work! 🌹🤝

You big eunuch, hey!

Has this book been adapted into a TV series? I saw a video on Douyin (TikTok) of a video editing program where some of the plot points were very similar to those in the book. It aired on January 10, 2021. The series is called "So Beautiful is This Land".
