Content introduction:

Red Sorghum describes the vigorous, heroic and tragic life story of my ancestors in the northeast of Gaomi during the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression period. The main story line is my grandparents, and the main location of the story is Gaomi Northeast Township.

My grandfather's name is Yu Zhanao and my grandmother's name is Dai Fenglian. As for the place of Gaomi Northeast Township, the author once described it like this: "The most beautiful and ugly, the most detached and secular, the most holy and filthy, the most heroic and the most bastard, and it is also the place where I can drink and fall in love best. This is Gaomi Northeast Township ".

My grandfather Yu Zhanao is brave and charming. He is a murderous bandit in the northeast of Gaomi and a hero who is loyal to serving the country. All his bandit-like behaviors are almost in line with the kindest and purest beauty of human nature, so he looks like a bandit, but he can be understood and forgiven, even making future generations proud.

My grandmother Dai Fenglian was valued by Shan Tingxiu, a rich man with a sorghum workshop, because she had a pair of rare feet and a good face when she was a big girl. Her great-grandfather married Dai Fenglian, who just turned 16 years old, to Shan Tingxiu's only son, Unilateral Lang, for petty gain.
