三卷本长篇小说《破荒》，作者以细腻的笔触，浓浓的乡土气息与少数民族特色，厚重的历史感、饱满的艺术张力，以贵州少数民族一个普通村寨为独特视角，生动再现了建国初期至改革开放30年特殊历史时期，我国社会的沧桑巨变和普通百姓的新生。故事发生在者砻村，这里山高林密，人烟稀少，侗族村民们分散居住在大山的各个角落，以农猎为生，过着与世无争、淳朴简单的生活。外界的种种社会政治风云对他们来说，都不过是遥远的风闻与传说，他们虽然憎恨欺压百姓的旧政权的官僚和爪牙，但是对共产党和人民解放军也不了解，是共产党的干部和解放军保护人民群众、尊重民族风俗习惯、为贫苦农民谋利益的实际行动，唤醒了侗族百姓的心，使他们一步一步跟着共产党，走上了建设自己新家园的道路。党和政府在人民心中具有了崇高的威信。正因如此，尔后的日子里，不论是农业合作化、成立人民公社，还是大炼钢铁、办集体食堂，侗族群众虽然心有疑虑，还是积极响应号召，一直到“文化大革命”。侗族百姓在大大小小的政治风波中受到了极大的冲击，蒙受了巨大的损失，也经受了严峻的考验。岁月峥嵘，侗家人祖祖辈辈传下来的做人的根本信念没有变，他们在新时期，在改革开放的时代大背景下，又迈向新的征程。(Inthethree-volumenovelTamingtheWild,withdelicatelanguage,strongruralflavorandethnicflair,deepsenseofhistoryandartistictension,andfromthespecialperspectiveofanordinaryvillageinhabitedbyethnicminoritiesinGuizhou,theauthorvividlyrepresentsthetremendoustransformationofChinesesocietyandtherebirthofcommonfolksfromthefoundingofPRCtothethreedecadesofChineseeconomicreform.ThestorytakesplaceinthedenselywoodedandsparselypopulatedZhelongVillagetuckedawayindeepmountains.Dongvillagersarescatteredinthemountainsandrelyonfarmingandhuntingtosurvive,leadingasimpleexistencecutofffromtheoutsideworld.Socialandpoliticalupheavalsatthetimeareonlyremoteanecdotesandlegends.TheyabhorthebureaucratsandtheirlackeysoftheoldregimethatsuppressthemandalsoremainignorantoftheCommunistPartyandthePeople’sLiberationArmy.TheCCPcadreandPLAsoldiersfinallywintheDongpeopleoverwithprotection,respectforethniclivinghabitsandmeasurestobenefittheimpoverishedpeasants.UndertheCCP’sguidancetheyareabletobuildtheirnewhomes.HencetheyholdCCPandthegovernmentinhighregard,andlaterrespondwithenthusiasmtotheagriculturalco-operativization,foundingofpeople'scommunes,backyardsteelproductionandestablishingcommunecanteens,andatlastthe“CulturalRevolution”,againsttheirbetterjudgement.DuringthesechaoticdecadestheDongpeoplesufferhugefinanciallossandtrialanderror.HowevercommonsensepasseddownthroughgenerationsofDongpeopleisnotlost.InthetimeofChineseeconomicreformtheyembarkonanewjourneyofdevelopment.)...
