The sun shines on the Sanggan River.

The book "The Sun Shines on the Sanggan River" began when Gu Yong, a wealthy middle peasant who was later wrongly classified as a rich peasant, heard the wind of the land reform struggle in a nearby village. The author wrote the psychological changes of Wenshuitun people in front of storm warning with delicate brushstrokes, and vividly described the coming of the struggle storm. The author starts with Gu Yong's appearance, and chooses him as an important clue throughout the book because his identity makes him very sensitive to land reform. At the same time, he maintained close and complicated ties with all walks of life in rural areas; What attitude we take towards this kind of people is also directly related to the party's class policy in rural areas and whether the land reform movement can be carried out smoothly (the author wanted to show the deviation of the working group on this issue, but it was not reflected in the existing works due to the change of writing plan). The author also wants Gu Yong to appear at the earliest, that is, through his transfer of rubber unicycle for his in-laws, the political atmosphere at that time was set off from the beginning-Chiang Kai-shek reactionaries were about to invade the liberated areas, and the land reform struggle was carried out under very complicated and urgent circumstances.

But Gu Yong is not the protagonist in the novel. After writing about Gu Yong's return to Wenshuitun, the author did not highlight this character with more pen and ink, but further wrote about the shock brought by the land reform struggle to this village, and wrote about the representatives of farmers and landlords who constituted the basic contradiction in Wenshuitun:, Chengren, Gui, etc. The vividness, concreteness and prominence depicted in the works are all flesh and blood, reaching the point of being vividly portrayed. For Zhang Yumin, the first member of Warm Water Tun, his works highlight his qualities of calmness, sophistication and loyalty. Although he had some shortcomings, he was vague for a while when mobilizing the masses to fight against the landlords. He was worried that it would be difficult for him to defeat Qian Wen, but he was selfless and charged ahead. Once he has a clear head and makes up his mind, he is brave and determined. Therefore, he has prestige among the masses, appeal among cadres and occupies a pivotal position in the village. Like Zhang Yumin, this long-term engineer who was exploited by landlords since childhood is kind and simple, and has instinctive hatred for the landlord class. Because of his relationship with Qian Wen's niece Heini, he also had ideological contradictions in the struggle, and always felt that something was "helping him". However, in the storm of struggle, he still stood firmly on the position of his own class and resolutely opposed the landlord class with the masses. He and Zhang Yumin are like simple jade. Although they have flaws, they can't hide their brilliance. As for the bully landlord Qian Wen, if he is required to be a rich typical image, his personality is not prominent enough, but the villains in general works have their own uniqueness. From him, we can really see how the landlord class treacherously resisted the land reform struggle. The author focuses on Gui's strategic vision: before the land reform, he asked his son to join the army, and during the land reform, he tried to force his niece Heini to find Cheng Ren, the director of the peasant association; His gang

Engaging in superstition with Bai Niangniang and Ren Ren, spreading rumors, and oppressing the poor peasants by using her son-in-law Zhang Zhengdian in an attempt to divert the goal of struggle; Just as he was taken to the stage to fight, he began to pretend to be calm and wanted to suppress the farmers' complaints with "dignified" eyes. He is evil and covers the sky with one hand. He was indeed a representative of the feudal forces that ruled the rural areas of China for thousands of years. The author did not exaggerate his ability, nor underestimated his arrogance, and his discretion was just right. In addition to being expensive, the author also wrote several other landlords with different personalities: Jiang, who was timid and desperate, dangerous and fierce, and Hou Diankui, a farmer who hated her teeth. Jonathan Li's wife is vivid and incisive. At first, she pretended to be obedient and tried to soften and deceive the poor farm workers who came to liquidate her family; When she failed this time, although she pretended to smile on the surface, she cursed the peasants who struggled with her, especially her psychological activities in the orchard, exposing the dark psychology of a landlord in the land reform to the fullest, and writing a figure with distinct class and personality.
