Features: This is a long and powerful work inspired by real people and events, leaving readers stunned and deeply moved. With passionate indignation, the author presents a bleak picture of the chaos, violence, rape, and abduction that plagued China in the 1930s. With a versatile pen, the author describes the tragic story of ordinary citizens who were oppressed, ultimately rising in anger, overthrowing their oppressors, and avenging their grievances. With boundless enthusiasm, the author sings a mournful ballad of the people of Yan and Zhao, who fear no powerful figures and fight against injustice to restore peace. The story begins with the villain Xie Tingfang following the young woman Yanzi into the riverbank and forest, narrating how Yang Baosan punished bandits but was retaliated against; Zhang Guyu, upholding justice, brought trouble upon himself, leading to the destruction of his in-laws' family. This sets off a wave of resistance from the Yang, Zhang families, and the common people—the story is both joyous and sorrowful, moving and heart-wrenching, with scenes that rise and fall dramatically, vast and sweeping.
