Mountain Soul's First Book

Novel synopsis: "Happy Gunshots" In the Yangjiawan District of Bijie, Guizhou, young talent Jun Huaguang wrote a tragic song about the intertwining of ideals and fate. Born into a family of officials, he was extremely intelligent since childhood. He showed his talents at the Guiyang Infantry School when he was a teenager. He also shocked the audience at the Lushan Officer Training Corps with ten shots and 98 rings on a moving target, earning him a first-class certificate. With ideals in mind, he returned to his hometown to serve as district mayor, building bridges and roads, reclaiming wasteland, and determined to create a "happy land". However, cruel reality followed. The fierce Guojiahe bandit leader Wang Sanlaofei formed a mortal enemy with him and gathered his gang members to continuously plunder and harass. Huaguang formed a security team, from ambushes in lime kilns to destroying munitions caves in the snow, and finally captured the bandit leader in the decisive battle of Guojiahe. The emotional world is equally entangled. The wife arranged by his father, Wu Jiayin, was dignified and virtuous, but his heart was devoted to Wu Qingyan, the daughter of a wealthy gentleman from Bijie who was "shocked to heaven" when he first met him in Lushan Mountain. The two relationships are difficult to maintain in troubled times. The great wheel of time crushes everything. In February 1935, Hua Guang was betrayed by his family's evil servant. On the execution slope, the formal rifle that once symbolized glory spewed smoke. Fragmented pages of the Hua family genealogy were scattered among the paper money: Wu Jiayin left sadly with her posthumous son, while Wu Qingyan drank bullets and died in despair. Hua Guang, who once determined to protect "happiness", finally fell under the cold gun of fate. This "happy gunshot" became the merciless echo of his disillusionment.
