In the mid-to-early 1970s, that special era, there was the "Mopangou Production Team" in a remote rural area in Heilongjiang/Jilin/Liaoning in northern China. Harsh natural environment (ice and snow, endless black soil, long winter, short scorching summer), scarce material conditions, unique local customs, and specific political atmosphere. In the gap between the vast world and the cramped reality, the struggle, transformation, friendship and tearing of young people from different backgrounds are revealed. It shows the fierce collision of youth, ideals, survival and dignity in special times. The silence of the land, the silence of the times, and the inner depression and tenacity of the characters. The name is somber and heavy, implying the huge torrent of emotion and destiny surging under the silence, and inviting people to explore the story behind the silence.
Reader comments
This book is very realistic. People at that time were very humane and had to help each other no matter how hard or tired they were. I miss the human kindness back then, but there were also bad guys. The bad guys back then were really bad to the core. What I have seen and experienced at this time was that my family was a poor farmer. The bad guys were bad guys who would trample your family into the ground and would trample it again. There are still many good people
