The background of the story of "Gone with the Wind" is the American Civil War and Reconstruction period, from 1861 to 1873.

It has become one of the best-selling novels in American history, and the movie "Gone with the Wind" adapted from this novel has also become an immortal work in the history of film. At the beginning of the novel, Miss Scarlett is in the Tao Le Manor residence. She is only sixteen years old and prevents men from discussing the "war". At the end of the story, Rhett Butler, who had decided to leave Scarlett, asked her: "How old are you this year, my dear?" She replied: "Twenty-eight." Twelve years are the process of a girl growing into a mature woman. At this time, after experiencing the pain of losing love, losing her husband, and losing her child, Scarlett finally lost her true lover, but her fortitude and determination will continue to support her to live with hope.

The novel takes Atlanta and a nearby plantation as the story setting, depicting the life of American southerners before and after the Civil War. The work depicts the images of many southerners of that era, of which Scarlett, Rhett, Ashley, Melanie and others who occupy the central position are typical representatives. Their customs and etiquette, words and deeds, spiritual concepts, and political attitudes, through the love entanglement of Scarlett and Rhett Butler as the main line, successfully reproduced the Civil War led by Lincoln and the social life of the southern United States.
