Description

Ma Ning's endearing, comic hero is simply known as Broad Sworder, the name which the illiterate young peasant, a former member of the Broad Sword Society, takes when he enlists in the army. Broad Sworder is from the mountains, ignorant, superstitious, and contemptuous of the written word the ""black ants."" And yet he has an instinctive hatred of the Japanese invaders who want to seize his piglet, and of every kind of injustice. Step by painful step, Broad Sworder gains knowledge and experience in the great melting pot of the New Forth Army. The final, inevitable tragedy reveals a man of true courage and stature. - from Amzon
