Recently, the simplified version of the new work of "Mandarin ducks Six and Seven Four" by writer Ma Jiahui was launched.
"Mandarin ducks 674" tells the legendary story of the protagonist Shao Yabing from "Xiao Bing" to "Brother Bing" in Hong Kong in the 1960s. In addition to the male protagonist Shao Yabing and the heroine A Bing, there are also various characters with different temperaments in the card game. In Ma Jiahui's writing, they all have their own personalities, and even a few sentences can outline the rich faces of the children in the world. As a native Wan Chai native, Ma Jiahui's writing in "The Mandarin Duck Six and Seven 4" is more authentic and easy to read, showing extraordinary skills. The Cantonese dialect and Hong Kong scenery throughout the book create a spicy and confusing "Hong Kong flavor", like a window reflecting the setting sun, radiating a breathtaking charm.

"Mandarin ducks 674" is the latest novel after Ma Jiahui's "Dragon Head and Phoenix Tail". The novel uses bad cards as a metaphor to describe the courage of children in the world to ride the wind and waves - bet with their background, opportunities, and destiny, keep their true feelings in adversity and live up to themselves, and small people can also play bad cards well to change their lives. This novel was unanimously recommended by Maijia , Jin Yucheng , Anhua Xu, Ma Weidu , Bi Feiyu , Shi Hang, Zhou Yijun and others.
Writer Anhua Xu commented on this book like this: "Mandarin ducks six and seven four" gave me a bit like Greek mythology. The characters are like gods with seven emotions and six desires, embedded in a magical era, creating a unique and unique world. Maijia said that writing novels is to create a world, and this world must have the personal attributes, integrity, and whimsical nature of the novelist. Ma Jiahui is talented and full of interest in life, which touched and admired me. Jin Yucheng concluded that this is a novel he likes very much. The background of Cantonese is unfamiliar and dazzling, and the world is full of tragedy and wanton. The male protagonist, Shouyabing, kept urging him all the way: Look at me! Look at me! There is the moon, peach blossoms, and waves here. The flowers bloom and fall when the moon sinks. The most famous abacus in the book is always under the hands of the novelist, "The position is six, two, two, three, seven, five, two, and five, and the fate of trembling is repeated over and over again, Ma Jiahui unfolds the masculinity and softness of Southern Chinese.
As Ma Jiahui said: "In legend, there is always a mandarin duck in the world that is inconsistent with us. We know and understand, but we still have to find him." The same is true for life and destiny. "Everyone may touch bad cards. Playing bad cards in his hands is the only thing we can do in our life." When reading "Mandarin ducks Six and Seven Four", you may clap and laugh, be inspired, or fall into deep thought and sigh, but there must be a kind of pleasure in this - being born as a human being, fighting against heaven and earth, betting against fate, and not letting yourself down is the greatest pleasure.
