Author's brief introduction (see Magnolia grandiflora under the Great Wall)

After a heavy rain, the sun shines brightly in autumn. A barefoot man came along the muddy Panshan Road among reeds on the Bohai Sea, followed by a soldier with a gun. This barefoot man is called Suo, and he is a "right-wing" in the reform-through-labour farm. Because of his good painting, he is being taken to Jinzhan Township to paint posters. At this time, he walked and thought. He remembers very clearly that the day when he was released from reeducation through labor and took off his rightist hat was 196 1 year on May 25th. He became the first lucky person among the Rightists in the mine outside Juyongguan to be released from reeducation through labor. He knew in his heart that this lucky source was his eyes that only saw the wind crying. This can be traced back to the late winter and early spring of 1960. That night, the wind came. He curled up on the fire wall of the lime kiln to watch the kiln on duty. He baked the steamed corn bread brought by dinner on the fire wall. Wowotou was snatched away as soon as it smelled. As he ran, the man tried to stuff steamed bread into his mouth. SuoHong catch up, see catch up, the man suddenly grabbed the lime coming towards him, he covered his eyes painfully. In a trance, he was carried to the edge of the mountain spring, and someone took the spring water to wash his eyes. When he opened his eyes again, he saw that it was the man who had just robbed Wowotou to wash his eyes. Her name is Li Cuicui, and she is a vagrant from Lankao, Henan. She hasn't eaten for days. She tearfully asked Suo Hongyi to take her in. Although Suo Hongyi sympathized with her very much, he could not meet her demands. He told her that as a vagrant, he was inferior to her and could not take her in. He took out his salary from 24 yuan and handed it to her from 20 yuan. She didn't want it, and left in disappointment and anger. Suo's left eye became a tearful eye. A few days later, Zheng Kunshan, the short and dark discipline section chief, was reportedly married to Li Cuicui, a beautiful woman from Henan. Later, Suo Hongyi found that Zheng Kunshan's attitude towards him became affable, and he knew it was all because of Cui Cui. Cui Cui often quietly took Zheng Kunshan to the ash kiln to deliver food to Suo Hongyi. This fiery woman, who is a bit wild, actually ate chickens and ducks raised by cadres' families to supplement Suo Hong's health. Cui Cui encouraged Suo Hongyi to escape from the mine and live a free life, and volunteered to lead him. Cui Cui's friendship moved Suo Hongyi very much, but he couldn't make up his mind to run away. He hopes that the policy will change, which will bring him a turn for the better. After all, he was finally released from reeducation through labor. However, when he walked out of the barbed wire, the exclamation of the sentry on the top of the mountain poured cold water on his happy heart. He knows that he is still a controlled person without freedom. When he arrived at his new home, he was beaten by a group of hooligans in the same room. It happened that Cui Cui came to take his place. After teaching the mob a whirlwind, Cui Cui called Suo out and told him that the mine would be closed and everyone in the mine would be transferred to a reform-through-labour farm in Bohai. It is surrounded by the sea on three sides and a river on one side, so it is difficult to escape there. She suggested that Suo take advantage of the chaos during the relocation to try to escape. But he still can't make up his mind. On the way to the farm, a rightist was drowned by the heavy rain. On the farm, Zheng Kunshan took Suo Hong and others to bury the dead, and Cui Cui followed. In the cemetery, she publicly expressed her sympathy and condolences to the lonely soul that was drowned by the rainstorm because of hunger. Zheng Kunshan tried to get angry several times, but he finally held back. A few days later, when Suo was ordered to brush slogans in various branches, he met a potherb digger. Cui Cui said Zheng Kunshan beat her because of the cemetery. Seeing her unkempt hair and red eyes, Suo Hong felt pity. He pulled Cui Cui impulsively, and she cried and snuggled up in his arms like a child. But when he and her lips were about to collide, Cui Cui suddenly pushed him away. She said she was pregnant, and she didn't deserve ... in a few months? One day, Suo was ordered to draw a box for the son of Yang Xu, the political commissar of the breakout. The political commissar and his wife left him for dinner. Looking at the rich food on the table, he realized that there were corners that were not hungry in this hungry farm. Coming out of the political commissar's house, I walked through a sweet potato field and saw Cui Cui carrying a baby in the snow to dig the sweet potato head that had not been cleaned up during the autumn harvest. I haven't seen her for months, and she is much haggard. Cui Cui scolded Suo for being spineless and being a slave for a full meal. At this time, Zheng Kunshan happened to come. He told Suo not to work for Yang Jian any more, and asked him to guard the cut reeds by the river from tomorrow. As soon as Suo Hong left the sweet potato field, he saw Zheng Kunshan and Cui Cui still looking for food in the field. In his mind, I will never forget the picture of Zheng Kunshan and Li Cuicui touching each other in the fallen sweet potato field. As soon as Suo Hong came to the Yinling River. He cooks with water on the river slope every day. He looked at the boat, at the sails, at the clouds and at the water, but he was also quiet and comfortable. Sometimes the boatman on the river will borrow his cooker to cook fish and steamed rice, and always generously leave him some food. After a winter, his edema gradually disappeared and his weight soared 12 kg. Zheng Kunshan transferred the cable and held a grudge against Yang Xu. He took advantage of his position and the fact that Cui Cui was a waif to punish Zheng Kunshan and demote him as a captain. Cui Cui broke into the meeting with a hungry child in her arms and criticized Zheng Kunshan. Accuse Yang Xu of starving his children because there is too much food to eat at home in this hungry age. This incident alarmed the general field. Yang Jian was also demoted to Yang Changke. After all the reeds by the river were pulled out, Suo Hong returned to the farm where he had been away for half a year. A bad luck is waiting for him. Yang Xu said that when Suo painted on his wall, he deliberately thinned the pig to demonize socialism. After several criticism, Suo Hongyi was sent to a strictly managed class. The heavy work of being thoroughly remoulded in a strictly managed class has hardened Suo Hongyi's bones and muscles. He finally stood up and showed Yang Xu the dignity of human beings, so he was madly retaliated by Yang Xu who became angry from embarrassment. Cui Cui advised him to run away again. Suo Hongyi couldn't stand this inhuman life any longer, and he finally made up his mind. He found Yang Xu and said he had made a mistake. He asked Yang Xu to allow him to repaint the pig. Yang Xu patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction and gave him a more important task-drawing a street poster in Jinzhan Township. The next day, Suo and a soldier sent by Yang Jian crossed the reeds and the Golden Bell River and came to Jinzhan Township. The soldiers rested and drank tea at the ferry and picked up paints to draw. The soldiers looked at the place where Suo Hong painted from time to time. After a while, Suo Hong disappeared. The soldiers looked everywhere, but there was no sign of Suo Hongyi. A month later, a letter with an unknown address was spread on the table of the farm political commissar. Signature at the end of the letter-tramp: Suo Hongyi.

Cong is a female writer who emerged in the early 1950s under the influence of the old writer Sun Li. His works exude a strong local flavor and present a fresh and lively poetic beauty. 1957, he was wrongly classified as a rightist and thrown to the bottom of society. The rough life of more than 20 years has promoted the change of his creative style. By the time of "Magnolia under the Wall", he had walked out of the Lotus Lake, fresh and beautiful, and became sad and sad. But when it came to Tears in the Wind, the style turned to profundity. From freshness to worry, from worry to profundity, in the evolution of the author's artistic style, he has always maintained a high sense of social responsibility and a strong sense of problems. Tears in the Wind describes the fate that Suo was wrongly classified as a rightist and was reeducated through labor. After taking off the rightist hat, he still had no personal freedom, exposing the deformity and irrationality of political life and social life in that ultra-left era. The most successful part of this novella is that the author has broken through the limitation of single characterization in the past. Accurately grasp the trajectory of the characters' spiritual changes, and create several complex and plump characters. First of all, the author writes about many-sided personalities. The hero, Suo, is a versatile intellectual. The author not only wrote about his integrity and compassion, but also wrote about his personality defects such as weakness, fantasy and indecision. He is sometimes positive, sometimes negative, sometimes noble, sometimes sinking, sometimes strong, and his character is weak, all of which constitute the complex character of Suo. Cui Cui is also a very different person. She is simple and kind, and the two steamed buns that she ate for her own sake will make her feel that she can't repay his kindness all her life, showing the simple and noble sentiment of "dripping water, flooding water". In front of the grave of a rightist who was killed by hunger and rainstorm, she openly expressed sympathy and condolences to the rightist in front of the correctional officers, regardless of her identity as the wife of the correctional officer, showing her kind nature. At the same time, vagrancy gave her another side of her character. She stole other people's chickens and ducks to treat Suohong. When she saw a group of ex-prisoners bullying Suo Hong, she resisted for a while. Smile happily, she can cry whenever she wants, and set out immediately when she wants to leave, showing magnanimous, provocative and somewhat wild personality characteristics. Zheng Kunshan is the most brilliant figure in the novel. He is strict with himself, loyal to his duties and arbitrary, almost to the point of irrationality. Therefore, they are called Javert, Ruthless, Zhong Kui and Warden by reeducation-through-labor personnel. But he is not an out-of-touch machine. His silent warmth, his secret help and care for Suo, and his fear that the escaped prisoner would run away again when he went abroad, he would rather stay awake for days and nights than handcuff the prisoner. He could not resist the pressure of hunger and wanted to take some bean cakes to the farm to feed the horses. All these show that in the heart of this seemingly iron figure, some people's secular desires are colliding. The author created a real, profound and vivid character image by depicting the character in many aspects. Secondly, the work not only describes the versatility of the characters, but also dynamically reproduces the changing process of the characters. Suo Hongyi is a weak and indecisive person, but with the encouragement of Li Cuicui, he gradually became stronger in the tempering of life. Finally, he finally gave up his fantasy and made up his mind to pursue a free life. However, Li Cuicui and Zheng Kunshan influenced each other in their hard lives and completed the transformation of their respective personalities. Since Li Cuicui came into Zheng Kunshan's life like a whirlwind, Zheng Kunshan has gradually revealed his background color. His cold heart began to melt, revealing his warm and compassionate side. This is just like what I once said to Suo: "He remoulds you and I remould him." Li Cuicui is being transformed by Zheng Kunshan at the same time. Zheng Kunshan influenced Cui Cui with his selflessness, which became more and more valuable in the hungry age, and influenced her with his real manly strength, gradually wearing away her wildness. Cui Cui felt that her heart was getting closer and closer to Zheng Kunshan, and she was willing to live an innocent life with Zheng Kunshan. When other cadres' families carried food home from the farm warehouse, she never took a grain from the government, so that her baby, who was only a few months old, starved to death. The author vividly and reasonably describes the changes of characters' personalities and creates authentic and credible characters. The novel shows the characters' personalities in many aspects, dynamically describes the changes of the characters' personalities, shows the complexity of the characters' personalities, overcomes the defects of the author's previous novels in gouging the characters' personalities, and marks a new leap in the art of novels.
