Sandalwood Punishment

"Sandalwood Punishment" creates the illusion of navigating reality and fantasy. The story is set against the backdrop of the Hundred Days' Reform in 1900, the fall of Beijing by the Eight-Nation Alliance, the Empress Dowager Cixi's hasty escape, and the Germans' forced construction of the Jiaoji Railway in Shandong. The tumultuous relationships and grudges between the characters, the vibrant folk tales, and the horrific and bloody tortures create a literary atmosphere rich in a primal and mysterious quality. It is within this narrative, alternately realistic and magical, that the novel presents a vibrant and vivid picture of Gaomi Northeast Township, where its inhabitants come alive in a vibrant and three-dimensional manner. Their epic anti-colonial struggles, their heart-wrenching love stories, and their soul-stirring Maoqiang operas all combine to create a vibrant and vibrant picture of the vast land of Gaomi Northeast Township. On the stage, constructed with imaginative, exaggerated and unbridled language, a drama about pain, death, dignity, desire, friendship, loyalty and other propositions is being performed...
This book won the first "Dingjun Wenhua Award" in 2002 and the "2001 Top Ten Books Award" of Taiwan's United Daily News; and was shortlisted for the sixth "Mao Dun Literature Award".
