πI recommend two novels to you: "The Butcher of the Late Ming Dynasty" and "The Last Butcher." These two books are historical novels. The main characters start from the little butcher, experience war and hardship, and embark on the road of conquering the world. They had strong perseverance and brave spirit. They used the butcher's knife as a weapon to protect the stability of China and the well-being of the people. These novels portrayed the image of butchers in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, vividly and specifically showing their life circumstances and emotional experiences.
