Features: "The Story of the Wild Geese" was published in 1978. It depicts Qin Guanzhu, a botanist in the botanical garden who faces criticism, as a person of noble spirit who tirelessly and selflessly dedicates herself to the cause of science. Through her experiences, the novel confronts the harsh reality faced by middle-aged intellectuals: the long-standing influence of extreme-left ideology and thinking patterns has led to the implementation of policies for intellectuals, yet they remain only partially realized, severely impacting and constraining the active expression of intellectual talent. In terms of artistic technique, "The Story of the Wild Geese" structures the entire narrative around the author's emotional changes. The carefully crafted subheadings skillfully convey the process of characters' exploration—from uncertainty to doubt, confirmation, and deep reflection—creating suspense for the readers.
