Book review 📚📚

📍 until the end of the red light

⭐ Preference Score: 4.25 / 5

"Is life made of hope, or is hope made of life?" - a powerful sentence at the heart of this novel.

ðŸ—Ģ brief storyline.

In the midst of the cold war in Cambodia, "Ruthira," a blind man from a high-class family in Phnom Penh, faced a major turning point when the Khmer Rouge communist invaded, and he was sublimated to death heading to the Thai border, with "dedicated" a young man who was like his eyes and everything, leading a semi-familiar, semi-strange journey in the darkness and gunfire.

ðŸ—Ģ things like (why give 4.25 stars)

1. Beautiful and profound language: The author chooses euphemistic phrasing, has a vocabulary that is not often seen in current fiction, but transmits deep emotions.

2.Novelty narrative perspective: Giving the protagonist a blind eye requires the reader to imagine the horrors of war through touch, voice and hearsay of dedication, which uniquely creates a sense of pressure and despair.

3. A relationship greater than the master-servant: The bond between Ruthira and Dedication is told in a romantic but dramatic way, a "dead friend" relationship that is the last hope for each other.

4. Human Issues: The book focuses not only on the cruelty of history, but also on the value of living, and the hope that remains in the darkest days.
