Features: This is a long novel imbued with a touch of black humor. In November 1967, four Red Guards were stranded in the freezing snow of Minshan Mountains while retracing the Long March of the Red Army. Thirty-four years later, they were discovered by a mountaineering training team and awakened in an environment meticulously arranged by scientists. A time tunnel transported the four Red Guards, whose minds were still stuck in the Cultural Revolution era, to our time. Thus, they were shocked, rebelled, avoided, struggled, confused, and bewildered. Liang Xiaosheng skillfully blends the historical panoramas of the two eras. In his portrayal, the Red Guards vividly navigate the present-day 21st century. Through this, Liang Xiaosheng vividly and profoundly depicts the social transformations over the past decades.
