Book ReviewBY Empty Mountain Mingjian "Fighting Beasts and Fighting People"

I've known Brother Saber for a few years, and I've seen a lot of his works. Every time I see his words, I feel that it is: happy, energetic, and powerful!

When "Fighting Beasts" began to be serialized at the starting point, Brother Dao told me, and I have been chasing after it, and I feel that it has not changed, and it is still that strong style, which makes people more and more energetic the more they read. In the past in the book review area, I occasionally wrote a few words in reply, but after thinking about it, I think I should still write something, one is to give Brother Dao feedback on a reader's thoughts, and the other is to express my gratitude to Brother Dao, thank him for often bringing me some happy smiles and thoughts after laughing.

The deepest feeling of reading "Fighting Beasts" is the strong Beijing flavor. China's thousands of years of cultural heritage have nurtured different regional cultures, among which the Beijing culture is the one that best reflects the characteristics of dynastic culture. As the last imperial capital of China, Beijing naturally has its own unique characteristics of Beijing-style culture. In particular, the integration of Manchu and Mongolian culture and Han culture in the Qing Dynasty and the characteristics of the Eight Banners system in the Qing Dynasty have given Beijing many unique cultural phenomena. In addition to the "fighting beast" theme of the novel, the life of the people is also different.

In the novel, you can often see clichés with a unique Beijing flavor, and the people under the roots of the imperial city have formed a unique cultural psychology and a unique way of doing things. This kind of communication, which is mainly praised, is not too common in other parts of the country, as for whether it is true, fake, depreciated, or ruthless after the praise, it depends on the specific people and things. Every time I read these details, I feel that Brother Dao's accumulation and writing skills can write about those big and small things in the capital so vividly. Taste the literary and artistic works of Beijing flavor, from the older generation of Lao She, Cao Yu, to the popular "Mansion Gate" a few years ago, I have an understanding of this atmosphere in literary and artistic works, and after reading Brother Dao's "Fighting Beasts", I have experienced more down-to-earth stories, and the Beijing flavor that permeates the text is really not inferior to those masterpieces.

Let's talk about the characters, in my opinion, there are many shadows of Brother Dao himself, in fact, most of the protagonists of Brother Dao have one side of his own. Smart, brave and kind are the most common evaluations of good people by Chinese, which is also the characteristic of Xiangyou. In addition, Xiang Youbao also has insight, can be in the three religions and nine streams of the capital, set up the name of the fire gate, and resolve the crisis again and again, and use all means without breaking the bottom line, this is a master, but also a requirement of that society for talents. In troubled times, if you live in the style of a gentleman, it will require a high cost and price; Everywhere, opportunistic and not a long-term solution; The fly camp dog is the wrong choice of the incompetent; The leopard's "doing something, not doing something" is the main requirement of the Chinese for "good people", which can be regarded as a kind of moderation attitude.

In addition to having a leopard, Nalan's gentleness and the cleverness of the nine monkeys also impressed me deeply, and several predecessors of Huozhengmen also have distinct personalities, as well as the portraits of various classes and forces in the capital, which can make people distinguish the difference. In today's online novels, the good and the bad are mixed, and there are many novels where the characters are portrayed almost indifferently, and after reading it, I don't know what this person has done before, what background he has, and in the end, I read it in a mess, and I don't know what the novel writes. The names of the people in these novels are really just code names, and there will be no obvious difference in swapping these names and reading them again. In the works of Brother Dao and some other novels, after each character appears, people can remember it, and when they appear again, they can also remember the relevant plots in front of them. This is a good work that can be savored.

Brother Dao's novel is still written, and the plot I see now is mainly the story between various characters in the capital, or the matter of Huo Zhengmen withstanding the pressure of all parties to make money, interlocking, advancing the plot of the novel, and also promoting the development of the relationship between the characters, and the words with distinctive personalities describe the wonderful plot, of course such a novel is good. The theme of the novel's anti-Japanese resistance, which was occasionally mentioned in the front, did not appear again, and the Communist Party appeared in the last few chapters, and it seems that the theme of the novel has finally really unfolded after dozens of chapters of foreshadowing. In fact, the concept of anti-Japanese resistance is from the perspective of the righteousness of the family and the country, and for the characters in the novel, as well as the ordinary people in reality, anti-Japanese resistance is just a struggle for survival and faith. Because the devils are coming, the people are not living well, so they have to drive away the devils, and the actions of the people may not really have any real effect, but this emotion is the cornerstone of the national anti-Japanese spirit and the backbone of the nation. As Brother Dao said, there are many anti-Japanese works nowadays, which make people feel that they are just military battles, and those battles may not be real; The real history is full of blood and tears, and full of the helplessness of the little people in the face of reality. When the state and society cannot provide the necessary protection for individuals, people's talents, ideals, and passions can only become meteors in history, which are only told among the people, but cannot bring real and permanent light to the dark night sky; And these bright meteors also use their own blood, sweat and lives to give people hope and strength.

In the Huozheng Gate in the novel, all of them are full of unique skills, and presumably in the future plot, they will also show their talents in the struggle against Japan. When the devil really enters the city of Beijing, it will further show the nature of people, in addition to most of the people who are committed to perfection, some people will resolutely walk in the forefront of the anti-Japanese resistance, and there will be some people who have lost their personality and become traitors.

The name of the novel is "Fighting Beasts", but in fact, what is really fighting is people, people from different classes, people with different interests, and people from different countries. In the fight, you can see life, see the realm, see the meaning, and see what you need.

Looking forward to the later article, I believe that Brother Dao will bring more exciting stories!

Also, I really like the short novels in the outer chapters. I wonder if there are any more?

PS: I've known Kushan Mingjian for a long time, and when we first met a few years ago, I looked at him as an honest college student.

Then I asked carefully, and this guy actually told me shyly that Dr. Mindfulness seemed to be still in a famous school in Shanghai

That envy and jealousy at that time!

In this life, because I haven't studied, I can't write or do martial arts now, and everything is like a half-bucket of water

This is the hard wound of eating fruits!

Well, in order to calm the bald man's hurt mood at that time, I secretly had to hum in my heart - fortunately, bald, I can still talk to you physically, even if I have a cheeky face to say that I have a specialization in the arts, right?

But within half a year, the empty mountain Mingjian followed my comrades-in-arms, drilled the jungle with a rope and a knife, and played very comfortable and moisturizing!

Cliff rappelling, swamp wading, wilderness survival

He played everything that should be played, and then took off the camouflage uniform he was wearing in the field, returned to Shanghai and put on a white coat and entered the laboratory.

So I wondered, as long as this person can be like the empty mountain and the stream, he has ideas, rush, and perseverance to do what he wants to do, then what can't be done in the world?

wrote this book "Fighting Beasts", and the empty mountain Mingjian appreciated a book review, and it was posted here, right?

It's not for show, but I just want to say that from ancient times to the present, people who do things in a down-to-earth way can always achieve something, right?

Whether it is the characters in "Fighting Beasts" or the people in today's world, it is the same!
