The Yellow Storm
註釋Taking Xiaoyangjuan Hutong in Beijing during the Anti-Japanese War as the specific background, the novel focuses on Qi Family and is supplemented with Qian Family, Guan Family and other residents in the Hutong to depict the images of many ordinary people from all walks of life through the complicated conflicts and reflect the perplexed and contented social mentality of Beijing citizens in the eight-year Anti-Japanese War through their humiliating and miserable experience. The novel represents their slow, painful and difficult awakening progress when the country was ruined and the people were starving. Through the growth, emotion and life history of these small potatoes, it epically shows the 'grand themes': the cruelty of war, the destruction of war on human civilization and life, the ups and downs of national destiny and the national spirit.
