Features: Only by writing this down can one avoid endless sorrow. Over a dozen characters with different personalities enter the novel one after another, spanning more than thirty years, perhaps even longer. Clearly, the occurrence of a murder makes the twentieth year the core of the book's timeline. The entire long novel is dissected into five middle-length pieces written in different styles. This allows you to choose which part to read first according to your preference. If you are interested in plot-driven stories, the fourth part of the novel will tell you about three heart-wrenching loves; the third part, with its complex structure and frequent shifts in narration, will give you the joy of understanding the novel's techniques and experiencing the pleasure of reading; at night, she called Yuan Nan, but there was no answer. At that moment, she was wrapping her bleeding palm with gauze. Despite changing the cotton pads multiple times, the blood still soaked through the cotton and dripped onto her palm. By night, after fully immersing herself in playing three pieces, she ran into the darkness, knocking on every door and screaming wildly. "The Japanese are attacking again!" she pointed at her blood-stained hands and shouted, "I can't stop them!" After an elderly traditional Chinese medicine doctor gave her a pill to stop the bleeding and calm her nerves, he sent her back home. However, the next night, her screams again jolted people out of their sleep. On a morning, someone called Zhang Wen again.
