Features: This book recounts a rare event in the history since the founding of the People's Republic of China. The Ganmaga Labor Camp in the vast northwest. A gang of violent inmates, composed primarily of former Nationalist officers, Kuomintang and Central Military Police agents, and heavily indebted criminals, took advantage of the chaos of the Cultural Revolution to recruit other offenders. They murdered the leadership of the labor camp, secretly conducted "subversion" activities, and used means such as spreading rumors and sowing discord to divide and weaken the cadre team. They also lured people with the promise of sexual favors and extensively raised weapons and ammunition, preparing for a large-scale escape and massacre. Under the circumstances of leadership seizure, internal and external collusion between the violent gang and their leaders, the just forces within the labor camp were temporarily setback. Many cadres and soldiers fell in the violence, sentries were seized, and office buildings were occupied. However, a group of communists and progressive figures stood fearless, daring to take action and, with their flesh and blood, built a solid Great Wall of Justice, upholding righteousness and defeating evil. The plot of this book is intricate and compelling, often with one crisis barely resolved before another arises, with each event tightly interconnected and deeply analyzed. The author excels at describing complex and bizarre life scenes and intricate interpersonal relationships, profoundly revealing the inner worlds of the characters. It is another powerful work by mystery writer Dongfang Ming.
