Absurd Educated Youth in the Romantic Era

Story summary: The story takes place in 1969, an era when intellectual youths were going to the countryside. Beijing high school students Chen Gang and Jiang Jian and three other junior high school students from Beijing, two girls and one boy, jumped in and arrived at Huangliangyu Village in the hinterland of the Central Plains. Huangliangyu Village is surrounded by mountains, with only one path leading outside the mountains. Living conditions are very poor. The young widow in the village, Cuiyu Niang, is only twenty-six years old and has been a widow for eight years. Cuiyu Niang was exceptionally handsome, with an oval face, two red phoenix eyes, two willow-leaf eyebrows, and a beautiful Yue Ya mouth. Smiling before speaking. The first time Chen Gang saw Cuiyu Niang, he was impressed by the woman's beauty. Huang Dani, the daughter of the village party secretary, is twenty years old and is also exceptionally beautiful. It is the age of marriage. Chen Gang's arrival disturbed a heart. She has a crush on Chen Gang, a tall and handsome educated youth. The village party secretary Huang Youfu, the old breeder Zhao Erye, and the accountant Shi Liang are the backbone of the villagers. Huangliangyu is a poor village with many people and little land and not enough food to eat. People worry about not having enough to eat every year and work hard to have enough to eat every year. However, God was not kind and a heavy rain washed away the fertile fields. Chen Gang and other educated youths encountered a food shortage in the first year of joining the team. When people are poor, they want to change. The educated youth are thinking about reclaiming wasteland and planting experimental fields for educated youth. During this period, the villagers were bald, their dogs were shouting, and the Long family were also moaning in pain. The villagers were thinking hard about how to have enough food. In order to save food, the village committee arranged for women and children in the village to go out to beg. Euphemistically called this, it is called production self-rescue. Love is bitter, life is difficult, but people never tire of it.
