Features: This is a long series of works set against the background of the Cultural Revolution. The 1960s and 1970s, the decade when the Cultural Revolution occurred, were indeed a period of disaster for our country and nation. During that time, intellectuals were helpless as the extreme "leftist" politics rampant. As intellectuals who suffered discrimination, they often lost their self-will and personal dignity. The author uses a brilliant light to illuminate the pervasive oppression of that era, elevating the human spirit beyond the tragic and dark shadows of history.
