Young Exiles (collected Works of Guo Xiaodong)
by Guo Xiaodong
About This Novel
Young exiles, from resurgence to doom, from heroes to prisoners, from glory to gloom, from smooth roads to cliffs, from eagles to caged birds... The novel depicts many portraits of educated youths with difficult fates. The absurdity of the world and the triviality of the market are silently combined into a generation in its prime, a generation of howling ghosts, a generation of fighting under the red flag, a generation of beautiful melancholy and cruel romance. Twenty-three young lives were laid to rest in the jungle of Hainan Island. They died collectively at midnight on October 17, 1970. It was their blood that ignited the soul of this novel and ignited the shocking fire in the hearts of young exiles for thousands of years.
