Features: The book depicts the lives and loves, hopes and struggles of a group of intellectuals who went to the countryside during the Cultural Revolution. It primarily portrays young people with different personalities, such as Lu Yan, Li Hui, and Xie Xiaoyan, who make different choices in the face of their environment. Through the events that happen to them, the novel reflects the real-life and spiritual dilemmas of a generation of Chinese intellectuals. Among them, the cherry orchard guarded by Lu Yan and the fruits it bears are endowed with spiritual metaphorical qualities and strength in the author's portrayal. Compared to similar themes, this book adopts a multi-angle, intersecting narrative perspective and introduces the life of a local village official among the intellectuals who went to the countryside as the background of the entire novel, giving the story a touch of grand narrative.
