Reborn in 1986, in an era where guns were not banned, hunting was not forbidden, and wildlife was not protected; an era when, because Black Bears and wild boars were devastating the fruits of the common people's hard labor, the higher authorities encouraged and called upon all villages to actively hunt.

As Zhao Jun, a young soldier of the Yong'an Village Civilian Militia Squad and a junior member of the Hunter's brigade, he shouldered his gun, headed into the great mountains, and began a life of hunting with his dogs.


Zhao Jun looked into the distance and saw a large wild boar staggering toward the marsh.


One of its hind legs was broken, snapped at the joint. The two sections were connected by only a single tendon and a flap of skin. The entire lower leg dangled, swinging back and forth as the boar ran.


The barking grew closer. Zhao Jun straightened up, moving away from the linden tree, his eyes fixed on the approaching wild boar.


The great boar entered the Tower Head Marsh, its steps uneven, one deep and one shallow.


This Tower Head Marsh was a wetland, sparsely dotted with grassy hummocks that rose dozens of centimeters, some even a meter, above the water's surface.


These hummocks resembled the tops of pagodas, which is why this type of wetland was called Tower Head Marsh, and the grassy hummocks themselves were called Tower Heads.


When the cold winter arrived, the wetland froze over.
