Features: On a night in mid-September 1965, Wuhan, one of China's "Three Furnaces," still retained its heat. Standing on the magnificent Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge, the refreshing breeze from the river was cool and pleasant. As nearly midnight approached, the city, which had been bustling all day, gradually drifted into slumber, while the scattered stars in the sky and the lights on the river slowly faded into mist. Yet who could have imagined that on this serene night, undercurrents were surging, and danger was approaching! This handwritten novel from the Cultural Revolution era authentically recreates the life of people at that time, with the characters' thinking deeply marked by the era. Its narrative style and language are simple and straightforward, yet its plot, like countless folk literatures, instinctively captures both the beauty and evil in human nature.
