Begging for Survival in Troubled Times

In 312 AD, the Yongjia Rebellion led to the collapse of China. On the beach of the Inner Yellow River, a baby was born amid famine and war, and was named Ran Min. He was born in the "Begging for Life Army" - a group of refugee armed forces who "begged for life" under the iron heel of Hu Qi. When he was a baby, he saw bones exposed in the wild and people eating each other; when he was three years old, he was not afraid to see people's heads hanging on saddles; when he was five years old, he learned to run away from the Jie people's iron cavalry. In the following decades, he was adopted as an adopted son by Zhao Shihu and fought for fame in the bloody sea of ​​corpses; he raised the "Kill Hu Order" in Yecheng and was bloody for thousands of miles in one day; he proclaimed himself the emperor and established the Wei Dynasty, fighting bloody battles with the Hu chiefs from all directions; in the end, he fell into Liantai, died at Yixing, and was posthumously named "Wu Mao Tian Wang" by his enemies. What this novel tells is the story of how a person is shaped by the troubled times and how he is swallowed up by the troubled times. The novel adopts a strict realistic approach and follows Ran Min's life trajectory to unfold a vast picture of the Five Hus and Sixteen Kingdoms era. Not deified, not demonized, just a person struggling with survival, hatred, ambition and loneliness. Here is the cruelest law of survival in troubled times, and it is also the eternal tragedy of a hero's end.
