Features: The "Hu Feng Counter-Revolutionary Group" case was a significant event in the history of Chinese literature, Chinese history, and even human history. It began in 1955 and was completely exonerated in 1980, spanning 25 years. During the movement, a total of 2,100 people were subjected to varying degrees of investigation, including 92 arrests, 72 detentions, and 73 suspensions for inspection. By 1956, 78 people were officially identified as members of the "Hu Feng Counter-Revolutionary Group" (32 of whom were Communist Party members), and 23 were labeled as "core members." Most of them spent their unjust years behind bars. The White Flower Tragedy is a long-formliterary work by writer Lin Xi, documenting the "Hu Feng Counter-Revolutionary Group" case. Lin Xi himself was one of the victims of the Hu Feng case at the time, only 19 years old. Now, based on his personal experiences and extensive research, including collecting a large amount of relevant materials and interviewing numerous parties involved, he spent three years completing this book. The book is rich in content, well-documented, shocking, and thought-provoking, making it an excellent work that helps people understand this event and reflect on history.
