Features: Sudden misfortune strikes a brilliant college student, who is suddenly labeled an "anti-party element"; imprisoned, the protagonist is wronged but cannot escape the fate of labor reform and labor education. In step with the bumpy journey of the Republic, the shifting political tides, coupled with the ravages of natural disasters, inevitably impose the consequences of history upon this special group of individuals. Here are students, teachers, officials, ordinary citizens branded as rightists, as well as pickpockets, delinquents, thieves, and ruffians of all kinds, forming a unique picture of life. The hardships of the years are twofold: extreme scarcity of material life and the constant growth of spiritual anguish and longing. What is rare is that the author, in a typical environment, with their expressive writing style and storylines rich in the essence of life, celebrates the spirit of resilience and pursuit of the protagonist in the midst of suffering. The work calls for truth, goodness, and beauty, and for love that is eternal and sincere.
