Chapter 18 Sixteen, Duliang

Read "Wolf Smoke in Peking" and "Bright Sword" by Du Liang.Du Liang is a Chinese writer with a very special pen name. According to the introduction I saw, he was born in the 1950s and was born in an intellectual family.He has worked as a teacher, civil servant, company manager, director of the Institute of Petroleum Exploration Technology, and is now a freelance writer. Quite simply, apart from being a freelance writer, which sounds very interesting, it is of no help to understand this writer. Of course, when reading a book, what you read is a book, and you don't have to pay much attention to whether the author is long or short, wide or narrow.As long as he writes a good book.

Duliang's two sets of books are both good books. According to my standards, they are both very good-looking novels. Among them, "Bright Sword" is outstanding. "Bright Sword", looking at the title of the book, one would think it is a martial arts novel, but it is not. Its era and the background of the plot are extremely magnificent.It describes an officer of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, from the War of Resistance Against Japan to the Cultural Revolution. The writer's writing style is concise and powerful, and the enthusiasm infused into the characters he created makes readers feel in every word, every sentence, and every plot. can be felt in all.

It is a rare good-looking novel in recent years. Friends who love to read novels in Hong Kong, don't think that such a subject must be boring and preachy, and ignore this good novel. The most rare thing about this novel is that in the third part of Falling Stars, it very realistically describes part of the reasons for the inevitable catastrophe of the Cultural Revolution and its process.Although the degree is insufficient, it is also very commendable. The biggest regret is that the protagonist is dying, and he doesn't understand the source of the disaster. It is not the traitor, but the tyrant. This is the tragedy of that generation. One of the reasons for the catastrophe is this kind of understanding of this kind of people.

I wholeheartedly recommend this beautiful novel.
