Since the advent of the coal industry, it has become the Alaska of western China, attracting countless people looking for a way out of life. In this "United Nations" of diverse accents, Henan is the most common language of public communication, as it is the most widely spoken. People from all over the world who live in Tongcheng can speak a few Henan accents and hum a few lines of Yu opera. The city is surrounded by mountains and dirt mounts. The mountains are too rocky and thin for farming, and the agricultural population is far less dense than that in the hinterland of the Loess Plateau, not to mention the overcrowded central plains. Because of the small number of agricultural workers, coupled with the fact that there is no lack of fuel here, these hills and mounts have grown thickly with firewood and grass, and there are even some tree tops in the forests, making them look more scenic than other places on the Loess Plateau. When autumn, some of the mountain leaves like fire, flowers like eye-catching ...... between the mountain beams and dirt mounts, due to the deep excavation of the ground layer is too deep and the formation of hollows, the surface of the ground from time to time subsidence, shocking cracks often tore through the beams of a few frames, or even a large summit caused by the collapse of the entire mountain fall, causing an earthquake around the third degree of the Richter scale or so. One to two hundred miles north of the mountain is the Yellow River, which carries thousands of tons of sand and sediment as it wheezes heavily to the east. ...... The city has only one main street in this narrow ravine. The stores and stores, buildings and houses, along this winding street, along the sides of the railroad, along the usually small flow of the Seven Rivers, lined up, layer upon layer, dense as a beehive ant nest, from south to north, lined up a full ten miles long. The train station is located in the center of the city. A rectangular building of waiting rooms, painted yellow, looked magnificent in this gray and black city. With the exception of the civilian and military airfield in the southern suburbs, the station's small square is perhaps the most open in the city. From here, trains travel south across the green central plains to the provincial capital in five or six hours. And to the west, east and north, there are highways leading to neighboring provinces. This train station operates two fast and slow buses every day in the morning and afternoon, and the rest are all coal trucks. The branch line from the Longhai Railway, its last rail does not end at this station. This steel ladder and here forked out two shares, all the way uphill through the hole, along the way strung more than 20 mines on the east and west. When outsiders talk about Copper City, they all know that it is a place where coal is produced, so they imagine that the city is probably full of coal. In fact, there are only one or two very small coal mines on the edge of Copper City, and the rest of the big mines are in the ravines to the east and west. When you turn down the railroad spur into these ravines, you see what a world there is. These mines are only ten miles apart, each with tens of thousands of workers, and their families, almost more than the size of a mountain county. Dense population, dense houses, towering derricks, rumbling machines, the noise, simply make people believe that these small ravine mountain bay, how can carry such a large load?

The Godfather is an iconic work of modern American fiction, with more than 20 million copies distributed worldwide since its release in 1969, making it an unquestioned bestseller. The ups and downs of the Mafia family have left fans wanting more and expecting a sequel. But perhaps because the original book had gained so much prestige, author Mario Puzo was afraid that a sequel would be a bad idea, so he didn't start writing until he died.
In the summer of 1945, Vito Don Corleone, "The Godfather" and head of the Corleone family, married his youngest daughter, Connie, in a grand ceremony. "The Godfather has three sons: Sunny, the oldest, who is a womanizer; Fred, the second, who is a coward; and Mike, the youngest, who has just returned from World War II. Sunny was the Godfather's right-hand man, while Mike, though smart and capable, had little interest in the family's "business".
The Godfather is the leader of the Mafia and is often involved in illegal activities. But he was also loved as a protector of the underprivileged. He also had a code of honor that he would never sell drugs to harm people. That's why he refused the demands of the drug lord Zullozzo, and that's what drove a wedge between him and the other Mafia families in New York. On Christmas Eve, Sullozzo kidnapped the Godfather's eldest son-in-law, Tom, and sent a team to assassinate the Godfather.
The Godfather was shot and hospitalized. Suroso asks Tom to try to get Sunny to agree to a drug deal and renegotiate. Sunny, who has no courage, vows revenge, but is at a loss. When Mike visits his father in the hospital, he discovers that the bodyguards have been paid off and that the police are in cahoots with Sullozzo. The families are on the verge of war. Mike devises a plan to lure the Zullozzo and the sheriff into a negotiation. In a diner, Mike kills Suozzo and the sheriff with a pistol he hid in the restroom.
Michael fled to Sicily, where he married the beautiful Apollonia and lived an idyllic life. In the meantime, the feud between New York's Mafia families has intensified. Sunny was betrayed by Connie's husband, Carlo, and beaten to a pulp. "The Godfather recovered from his wounds and arranged a reconciliation between the families. Mike, hearing the news, is attacked. A paid bodyguard, Fabrizio, planted a bomb in Mike's car. Mike survived, but lost his wife. Mike returned to New York in 1951 and married his ex-girlfriend Kay.
The aging Godfather passed on the headship of the family to Mike. After the Godfather's death, Mike began a long-simmering quest for revenge. He had the heads of two other rival families assassinated, and he killed Fabrizio himself, who had murdered his ex-wife. He also avenged Sunny's death by killing Carlo. The enemy was eliminated. Connie stormed the house and beat Mike up for the murder of her husband. Mike coolly ordered Connie to be institutionalized. He has become the new Godfather, Don Corleone.

8. The Course of Beauty By: Li Zehou
Any Chinese who loves beauty, any one who loves Chinese
Chinese art, should read this book.
The Course of Beauty is a small book, with a length of just over 100,000
words.
The Journey of Beauty is also a big book, which examines thousands of years of artistic development of the Chinese nation
from
ancient totems to Ming and Qing paintings and crafts. Reading this book will make you feel the spirit of a thousand years, invite you to swim in the long river of history
, and constantly appreciate the artistic essence of one era after another
, and capture the footprints of the beauty of the Chinese nation. This book is a mixture of narrative and
discussion, insightful, concise and understandable. From a historical point of view, the book explains the ins and outs of the development of Chinese aesthetic thought. This
book is a general introduction to the outline of classical Chinese beauty. Chinese
Chinese civilization has a long history, from the ancient flood to the Ming and Qing Dynasties,
and the accumulation of artistic sparks in different periods of time has shaped the characteristics of Chinese cultural beauty
. In terms of material civilization, primitive totems and primitive songs
dances already contained the germ of beauty, and the abstract evolution of the shapes and patterns of stone-age pottery and jade
wares was the primitive formation of beauty as a form with
meaning. The bronze
ware art of the Xia and Shang dynasties, on the other hand, presents a mysterious power and fierce
beauty, and the Qin and Han terracotta figurines and stone carvings constitute the majestic and simple
basic aesthetics of this period. Since the Wei, Jin, and North and South Dynasties, the Buddhist cave art
has made the solemn worship of Buddha an object of secular aesthetic transformation. The architecture of palaces, tombs, temples, etc., followed a strict
structural symmetry to show the seriousness and squareness of the symmetry of the beauty of
garden art emphasizes the overall layout of the buildings and the natural beauty of the mountains and water, forming a free and open organic whole of the
beauty. From the field of spiritual civilization, the aesthetic principles of
"Fugue, Bi and Xing" in the Book of Poetry have become the source of the aesthetic
tone of Chinese literature, and the magnificent and magical romantic imagery of the Chu Rhetoric
is the real starting point of the glory of the Chinese lyrical poetry, and the Han Fu, which is a great exaggeration of the spreading of the
Chen, is a great example of the beauty of Chinese literature. The Han Fu is a reflection of the spirit of the times, which combines myth, history and reality in one
body. The Wei and Jin styles highly respected the gorgeous
good-looking words and chapters, which made the Six Dynasties' parallel rhyming style become the
wind. The Tang and Song dynasties were two of the brightest pearls of Chinese literature, producing literary giants such as Li Bai, Du Fu and Su Shi. The Yuan dynasty's prose
quotations and operas have the aesthetic characteristics of elegance and vulgarity, while the Ming and Qing dynasties' novels
depict the world's human feelings. This article is really good.

11. "Xu Sanguan's Story of Selling Blood" by Yu Hua
"Xu Sanguan's Story of Selling Blood" is a long novel written by Yu Hua in 1995, which depicts life in the midst of trials and tribulations with great warmth and expresses the desire to survive in the face of misfortune in the form of an intense story. The novel tells the story of Xu Sanguan, who sells his blood to tide over the difficulties in his life and overcome the shocking waves imposed by fate, but when he grows old and realizes that his blood is no longer wanted, he suffers a mental breakdown. In its review of Xu San Guan's Story of Selling Blood, the French magazine L'étude said: "This is a masterful novel, a perfect combination of simple simplicity and far-reaching connotations. Yu Hua is currently working on a full-length novel about a love story that spans a long period of time, and in terms of literary style, it will be a very different work from Xu San Guan's The Story of Selling Blood, which is due to be completed early next year. The book expresses the author's fascination with length, a road, a river, a rainbow after rain, an endless memory, a folk song with a beginning but no end, a person's life. All this is like a bundle of rope coiled up, slowly pulled out by the narrative, pulled to the end of the road. Here, the author sometimes has nothing to do. Because he realized from the beginning that fictional characters also have their own voices, and he thought he should respect these voices and let them find their own answers in the wind. So the author is no longer a narrative aggressor, but a listener, a patient, careful, understanding and empathetic listener. He tries to do this, and in his narration he tries to cancel out his role as author, feeling that he should be a reader. And so it was, and when the book was finished, he realized that he knew no more than anyone else. The characters often spoke on their own, sometimes to the author's horror, and when the words came out of their fictional mouths in a way that was both appropriate and beautiful, the author would suddenly feel inferior, thinking to himself, "I couldn't say such a thing." However, when he becomes a real reader, when he reads the works of others, he is often secretly pleased: "I have also said such things." This seems to be the joy of literature, that we need its influence to correct our thoughts and attitudes. It is interesting to note that while many great works influence an author, he finds that his own fictional characters influence him in the same way. The book is in fact a very long folk song, its rhythm is the speed of memories, the melody jumps gently, the rests are hidden by the rhymes. The author here fictionalizes the history of only two people and tries to evoke the memories of many more. Matthias said: "Remembering the past is like living it again." Writing and reading are in fact both knocking on the door of memory, or rather both are trying to live again.
