About This Novel
August 1967, Beijing. Wu Weidong stood in front of the "Revolutionary Rebellion Headquarters" building at a university in Beijing, looking at the big-character posters all over the campus undulating like waves in the breeze, and felt very comfortable. His father, Wu Zhongyi, had served as a confidential section chief in the Ministry of Public Security for many years. During the Cultural Revolution, he posted the first big-character poster bombarding the "establishment" in his unit at the right time. He became a leading cadre who "appeared" and entered the core team of the rebels. My father became the leader of the rebel group, so my son was naturally put in a more important position. Wu Weidong was soon promoted to the "deputy commander" of the school's rebel organization. When a person is lucky, the flowers of love begin to bloom towards him. This flower is classmate Li Yingzi, with a pair of pink and phoenix eyes on her fair duck-egg face that make people's hearts itch. But her beauty has long been coveted by rebel commander Zhou Chuang.
