About This Novel
For the Chinese, "class struggle" was a word that was even more important than eating from the first half of the 20th century to the decades of reform and opening up. The so-called "class struggle" was triggered by composition and origin, with the "five types of elements" and "the children of the five black types" as the primary targets of struggle. Therefore, the "state of war" became the real norm in people's daily lives at that era. And the lives of those various elements who were labeled as political began decades of purgatory-like suffering... This book uses a large amount of detailed information and interviews with relevant parties to reproduce the nightmarish madness and various deformed political ecology that made people shudder during the "class struggle" years. In the current era, the importance of facing up to history is even more highlighted.
