Features:
Complaining about the impermanence of life,
Complaining about the indifference of time;
Complaining about the fickleness of the world—
Impermanence: wealth, status, life, and death;
Indifference: debauchery and infidelity;
Fickleness: repaying kindness with resentment;
If heaven had feelings, how could it not sigh!
Many years ago, during the "lively" times,
Who knew why the landlords, whose land had been divided, suddenly got lucky?
They truly "shone" for a while—
Greed, cruelty, heartlessness, hideous faces,
Wielding whips, abducting men and women,
Murdering without hesitation—
A series of "honors" that made the landowners of that time
Receive so much "flattery";
Today, after the "liveliness" faded, a thoughtful person who had calmed down seems to have regretted it,
Feeling that the "flattery" toward the landlords was somewhat absurd,
After serious reflection and research,
They finally came to terms with the landlords,
Seeing their true faces.
The author of this book is one of those thoughtful people who have calmed down.
After accumulating rich creative material,
He meticulously crafted the plot of this book, which is full of twists and turns and leaves much to ponder.
Take a look:
The "grandpa's" memories of the past—
The landlords lived in a turbulent world,
The beard came, the flower came, the Japanese came, the national army came, the communists came,
Their homes were robbed, people were killed,
Their days were lively but they lived in constant fear;
Their land was divided, their property was divided,
Only then did they finally get some peace.
How hard was the "successful" life of the landlords!
After reading this book, how could readers not cherish today's happy, stable, sunlit, and flower-filled life?
