My recent historical novel of Hunan Mule, which due to the 2002 Qingming festival in Hengyang when I burned my writing novel of Resisters which reflected the Battle of Changde and Hengyang, its archetypes are the war veterans during my childhood and youth. In the process of collecting material and writing of Hunan Mule, I have new understanding of Hunan person, who showed collective character of mule-like tenacity, stubborn, not afraid of death.
