Features: This book is a bestseller nationwide and has caused a huge sensation both domestically and internationally. It has been translated into Korean, German, Italian, and other languages and published abroad. The Bloodletting Chronicles of Xu Shuangshui portrays life's hardships with profound warmth and expresses humanity's desire to survive in the face of adversity through intense storytelling. It is an endless road, an ancient river, a rainbow after the rain, an unending memory, an unfinished folk song, and a person's life. All of this is like a bundle of ropes coiled together, gradually pulled out by Yu Hua's narration until the end of the road. In fact, it is a very long folk song, its rhythm the speed of memory, its melody gently jumping, and its rests hidden by the rhymes. The history of two people is thus awakened in the spirited song, evoking the memories of many more.
