A Flick of the Finger

At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Germans landed in Guzhou Bay, and some people in Gaojiazhai, the capital of Guangzhou, took refuge in Guandong. In order to get to know each other in the future, I brought the genealogy of the Gao family with me. One main line of this book mainly describes the experiences of Gao Yunlong's group after they arrived in the rural area of ​​Kuanchengzi in Northeast China. The other main line describes the Wang family, a local wealthy family, which went through two generations of management and finally declined and became an ordinary family. In the middle there are descriptions of Shandong thieves and Northeastern beards. The real situation of the bandits was restored as much as possible. There is another hidden thread in this book, which is the Jiang family, which has nothing to do with Lao Gao's family and Lao Wang's family. He can be regarded as a party and witness, witnessing the changes and development of society, and witnessing the rise and fall of the two families. The combination of Gao Jianguo and Wang Yujun began their tragedy. This fate is inevitable and doomed, starting from the time when the king agreed to the marriage. Wang Yujun's shackles were put around his neck and he was sawed continuously. Can't take it off. The first part of the book is written in a narrative style. It adopts the form of chapters and chapters, with multiple lines of narration at the same time, and finally returns to the main line: When Gao Ming was born and remembered things as a child, the narrative perspective changed and became Gao Ming's perspective. The content of the narrative has also become a superb observation and hearing. What you see and hear forms a seamless connection with the previous part. Become the content of narration in the form of memories. Finally, it tells the hard work of Gao Miao and his brother Gao Lei, and how people at the bottom are like snakes shedding their skin, and they have to go through pain if they want to grow up. Gao Ming's final destination was back to Shandong. But tracing one's roots and ancestors has long ceased to be a priority. The whole story ends with Wang Yujun's death.
