My Motherland

This is a monumental literary work burning with fervent patriotism. With a grand multi-volume narrative structure, the author slowly unfolds a magnificent epic scroll of the War of Resistance Against Japan, and with vigorous and powerful strokes engraves a large number of iron-blooded backbones who stepped forward when the nation was in crisis and the mountains and rivers were broken, such as Zhou Xunlei, Zhang Hanzhao, Yang Yunzhen. It is precisely they who, with their blood and faith, forged the steel soul of the Chinese nation that never yields. At the same time, the work, with the coldness of a scalpel, cuts open the hideous beastly nature of fascist invaders such as Yamaiwa Nobuo, Ono Motosaburo, and Ito Yuji, alienated by war, and even more relentlessly nails the servile bones of traitors such as Cheng Xuefu, Zhang Xifeng, and Yuan Motou to the pillar of shame of history. And that faint light of love, like weeping and complaining, struggling amid the smoke of gunpowder and blood and iron, blooming in perseverance and sacrifice, becomes the gentlest and most profound inquiry into human nature. The author devoted sixteen years of painstaking effort, using war as a melting pot, philosophy as a mirror, and love as a sharp blade, tempering the noble and the base, the tenacious and the fragile of human beings into a deafening cry of the times. When the bottom line of civilization is trampled upon, only by upholding justice, being clear-headed about history, and remembering suffering can a nation achieve nirvana and rebirth from the ashes. This work has profound depth, a sonorous rhythm, and high emotions, and should be considered a grand bell of the Chinese nation's literary treasure house! — Description from novelcodex.orgFull novel: My Motherland — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠
