读过《Boxers》 🌕🌕🌕🌑🌑
微妙的感觉。虽然想说杨谨伦的叙事套路还蛮强大的,但作为历史小说来说,一些细节的背景调查不够严谨呢。仅举一例,主人公村里有一人叫Kwan Yu,他自家大哥神化时是Guan Yu,微妙啊微妙。

From American Born Chinese author Gene Luen Yang: an innovative look at China's Boxer Rebellion told from two points of view, in two companion volumes. China, 1898. Bands of foreign missionaries and soldiers roam the countryside, bullying and robbing Chinese peasants. Little Bao has had enough. Harnessing the powers of ancient Chinese gods, he recruits an army of Boxers - commoners trained in kung fu who fight to free China from "foreign devils." But nothing is simple. Little Bao is fighting for the glory of China, but at what cost? So many are dying, including thousands of Chinese citizens who have converted to Christianity.
