The Southern Song’s Wind and Smoke Trail

This is my first time writing a review. I was initially drawn to this book by its millions of words. Then, out of curiosity, I read almost all the posts in the book club, the author's replies, and the novel's publication process. I learned a lot about the creative background and the author's dedication over more than a decade before I started reading.

Part 1: Blue; Part 2: Black; Part 3: Red It can be seen that the first part of Lao Qian's story takes place in the Southern Song Dynasty, the second part involves fighting in the Jin Dynasty, and the third part is basically set on the border.

The author's perseverance is exemplary!

The author's writing style is elegant and graceful, full of classical charm. It can be seen from the work that the author's writing style is unique and distinctive. The frequent use of self-created four-character phrases in the text is a testament to the author's literary cultivation.

I really admire the author for their perseverance in serializing the work for 12 years.

Chapters 1969 to 1979: The Complete Picture of Western Xia

I read the author's books over a decade ago. It was by chance; I bought some pirated copy (I can't remember the name anymore, just one of those big books you see in rental bookstores). But that pirated copy was pieced together; the story in the first half was only half, and the second half was pieced together—that's the beginning of this book...
