About This Novel
This book is an aria of red life. In the autumn of 1925, white terror enveloped the northern city of Qingpu. The reactionary warlords brutally suppressed the workers' movement, and strike leaders Gao Ming, Ji Boxun and Zheng Shaobai were forced to evacuate urgently. Unexpectedly, one morning of escape led to three very different lives, with many love, hate and resentment in them. Zheng Shaobai became a traitor, and he worked hard to raise a pair of children who were martyrs who died because of his betrayal. Ji Boshun went to the Soviet Union and became a staunch Trotskyist. He was imprisoned first by the Kuomintang and the Japanese, and then by the Communist Party. Gao Ming gradually lost himself in the process of being a cog and screw of the party. Although he achieved success and fame, he was eventually scolded as a heartless political slicker and became a loner.
