They have a profound and far-reaching influence and shaping effect on the outlook on life, values, personality, cultivation, attitude, interests, and abilities of readers. At dawn every day, when the stars have not yet dispersed, the factory whistle would roar through the air above the workers' district in the suburbs. Amidst the smoky and oily air, those gloomy-faced people, like startled cockroaches, would scurry out of their humble, small, gray houses onto the streets. Their strength had not yet recovered, and they would stumble along the unpaved roads, drowsily heading toward the tall, stone buildings in the factory, which resembled giant cages. The so-called factory would then open dozens of greasy, square eyes, like wolves, to illuminate the muddy roads, waiting for them with arrogance.
