Features: Du Yuming, Song Xilian, Huang Wei, Kang Ze, a group of former high-ranking officials who were once at the height of their power, became prisoners of war in the blink of an eye. In the reeducation camps of the new China, they underwent complex psychological and ideological transformations, giving rise to numerous amusing anecdotes. Sun Chu praying with incense while reading Mao's Selected Works, Huang Wei determined to invent a "perpetual motion machine," Tang Yao feigning illness to drink, Song Xilian stepping down as a division commander but not giving an inch in a chess game, coupled with the author's witty and humorous writing style, make for truly hilarious reading.
