| Summary | "血笑記" by 二葉亭四迷 is a novel likely written in the late 19th century. The story delves into the harrowing experiences of soldiers, touching on themes of fear, madness, and the absurdity of war. It captures the struggles of the protagonist amidst the chaos of battle and a world teetering on the brink of madness. The opening of the novel presents a vivid depiction of a soldier's relentless march through a harsh and oppressive landscape, marked by extreme heat and the looming threat of enemy pursuit. The protagonist describes the disorienting sensations of fatigue, confusion, and fear as fellow soldiers collapse around him, illustrating the psychological toll of war. Through abstract and surreal imagery, the text evokes a sense of impending doom and explores the thin line between sanity and madness, setting the stage for a deeper examination of the consequences of conflict in the larger narrative.
