Features: He, for the woman he loved, did not hesitate to become a bandit. He, for the sake of a full meal, naively followed the Anti-Japanese United Front into the deep mountains. He, separated from his parents since childhood, naturally timid, yet still could not escape the fate of wearing a military uniform. A single bloodline connects the destinies of three generations. The blood in their chests, across the iron horses and west winds, penetrates the thousand-li frozen soil of the north, reaching a thousand meters deep underground—war and love are the true paradise for men.
Set against the backdrop of China's century of modern history, the novel tells the story of three generations of passionate men who have undergone the baptism of war and the tenderness of love through a grand and composed narrative style. The structure of three parallel storylines, the sharp and incisive writing style, and the heart-wrenching plot—all reflect the author's long-accumulated emotions. Compared to previous works such as The Age of Rose Blossoms, Father Comes to Town, and A Long and Happy Life, this novel not only reaches a new level in writing technique but also fully possesses the charm of an epic pure literary work.
