Go to the Vast World to Support Pigs

In early 1969, a group of Chongqing junior high school students who had experienced the turmoil of the Cultural Revolution responded to the call to go to the mountains and countryside and settled in Baita Mountain, Fuling. They soon discovered the shocking poverty in the local countryside. In the face of hunger, they took desperate risks, stealing grain packages from production teams and farmers' chickens, and fighting among educated youths like pigs in a trough without food. They suffered great physical and mental damage, and some went to hell. Yin and Yang meet, and their contemporary reflection on the educated youth movement is astonishing. The novel cleverly uses the poker game as the main structural line, stringing together the stories of educated youths in Baita Mountain and the stories told by educated youths in Baita Mountain. The plot is ups and downs, the narrative angle is novel, the language is clean and fresh, and it is full of humor. It especially strives to portray a distinct image of educated youth and describes the "emotion and righteousness" of educated youth from a special perspective. This novel and its characters are purely fictitious. Any similarity is purely coincidental and should not be imitated.
