The family hatred and national hatred surrounding the War of Resistance Against Japan have always been deeply engraved in Wang Huo's heart. Whether it is as a journalist or writing a novel, the unforgettable War of Resistance Against Japan is the object of wang huo's key expression. Beginning in 1946, Wang Huo, a journalist, conducted a comprehensive and multi-angle report on the Nanjing Massacre. In 1947, he published in Shanghai's Ta Kung Pao "Insulted and Damaged: Remembering Three Survivors of the Nanjing Massacre", which reported on the three minor figures of Li Xiuying, Liang Tingfang, and Chen Fubao, which caused a great sensation, and these three figures were always the evidence of the terrible massacre in the following decades.
After the founding of New China, he wrote the story of China's Xia Boyang-style anti-war guerrilla hero Jie Zhenguo, "Red Courage and Loyalty", which revived the image of a Chinese workers' guerrilla anti-war hero who "was born with light and the sun and the moon, and died and remained in the mountains and rivers with great vitality" of the Chinese workers' guerrilla war of resistance. This work has been adapted into drama, Peking Opera, commentary, film, television, translated into foreign languages and distributed abroad. Among Wang Huo's many works related to the War of Resistance Against Japan, the most famous is the Trilogy of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, "War and Man".
After the founding of New China, Wang Huo began to conceive of writing "The Era of No Return" (the predecessor of "War and Man"), intending to use more than one million words and three ancient poems as the title of the book, namely" "The Moon Falls and The Sky Is Full of Frost", "The Mountain is in the Void", "Maple Leaf DiHua Autumn Sergeance", and the span of time is written from the Xi'an Incident to the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan and the outbreak of the Civil War. Working in Shanghai from 1950 to 1953, Wang Huo used his spare time to create, slower but more ambitious.
In the spring of 1953, Wang Huo was transferred from the Shanghai Federation of Trade Unions to the All-China Federation of Trade Unions in Beijing, where he served as assistant editor-in-chief and editorial board member of the magazine "Chinese Workers".

Before leaving, Wang Huo handed the manuscript to the China Youth Publishing House. In extraordinary times, this manuscript was said to be "the product of the black line of literature and art", the manuscript was taken to the exhibition, Wang Huo was discouraged, and he burned this manuscript that condensed his efforts for more than ten years at the door.
Finally ushered in the reform and opening up, in 1978, the editor of the People's Literature Publishing House wrote to Wang Huo, asking about the manuscript and encouraging him to rewrite it. Wang Huo has long been familiar with the story of historians talking about migration during the Ming and Qing dynasties. Tan Qian spent more than twenty years to complete the "Guo Yu" was stolen by thieves, and at the age of 55, he rewrote "Guo Yu". Inspired by this, the 55-year-old Wang Huo decided to rewrite "War and Man". When working in Linyi, Shandong, he completed the first part of "The Moon Falls and the Sky Is Full of Frost".
In the autumn of 1983, Ma Jun, a classmate at Fudan University, invited Wang Huo to work at the Sichuan People's Publishing House, and Wang Huo took the first completed manuscript to Chengdu. However, just when Wang Huo just started writing the second part of the creation, there was a big accident.

However, the craniotomy had an accident, resulting in damage to the retina of the left eye. The left eye goes blind and begins to affect the right eye. After being transferred to Shanghai Huashan Hospital, he was able to save his right eye, but his vision was also damaged.

Fortunately, Wang Huo, who has endured hardships, finally recovered his memory, and the passion in his heart was rekindled, and he continued his creation driven by a strong sense of mission and the desire to win back the time wasted in the past. He went all out and used one right eye to complete the second part of "The Mountain in the Void" and the third part of "Maple Leaf Hagi Flower Autumn Seser". Writing with one eye, the difficulties can be imagined. Looking at things inaccurately, pouring boiling water is easy to pour on the hand. It is easy to clip the dish to the outside of the bowl. Writing, reading, easy to get tired, easy to fatigue. When writing, he needs to wear four hundred degrees of reading glasses and then use a magnifying glass. Hold a pen in one hand, a magnifying glass in the other, and press the paper with your hand to write.
