1979 After the Spring Festival, the Songnen Plain in the northeast is still frozen. A long-distance bus was driving on the expressway and was suddenly stopped by a sheep standing on the road. The driver jumped out of the car and recognized that it was a sheep bitten by a wolf and had died there. A passenger who jumped out of the car said to the driver, "It's the sheep of the Corps." The driver looked into the distance in surprise-it used to be the headquarters of a company of the Corps, but now it is as silent as death. People, all gone. The car drove on, and on the way, I met teams of educated youth returning to the city. At Nenjiang Railway Station, hundreds of educated youths are waiting for the bus, and their tired faces show various looks and expressions. When the train pulled into the station, the educated youth surrounded every carriage like a monster, crowded in the doors and windows. Station broadcast: the train is late tonight ... there will be a snowstorm tonight due to the Siberian cold current. This is the night when more than 400,000 educated youths in the Great Northern Wilderness returned to the city. However, on the hump of the northernmost border of Northeast China, Pei Xiaoyun, a soldier of the third regiment of a certain division, stood guard at the border post for the first time. This 25-year-old Shanghai girl is excited and excited about being finally approved as a soldier of the combat readiness detachment, and being able to hold a gun. On a cold night, she was accompanied by a dog named Panther. She looked in the direction of the conference room at the foot of the mountain and couldn't help thinking of him, the company commander Cao Tieqiang. The company commander and instructor of the whole regiment gathered in the meeting room of the regimental headquarters and were having an emergency meeting. The Corps Headquarters issued an urgent document: In order to shorten the transition period from Corps to farm system, it is required to complete the formalities of educated youth returning to the city within three days, and the overdue period will be frozen. Ma Chonghan, the head of the team, withheld the documents, which were not conveyed to the company, causing opposition from the participating cadres. Sun Guotai, political commissar, severely criticized the colonel. Zheng Yaru, the instructor of the engineering company, stood up and agreed with the head of the team against his will, and was immediately opposed by Cao Tieqiang. Ma Chonghan's eyes, like a sharp weapon, aggressively shot at the project company commander. He was still jealous of Cao Tieqiang. When he went to the male educated youth dormitory to search for public property, he found an educated youth named a small bricklayer sleeping on the kang, and there were three poplar boards under the mattress. After pulling out the board, he ordered the bricklayer to write an inspection of not less than 5000 words and submit it to the working group. A small bricklayer from a poor family is a weak one among the educated youth, and he has no ability to maintain his dignity. Cao Tieqiang, then the platoon leader, touched the cold kang surface under the bricklayer's mattress and carried the third board back from the outside. This incident angered the head of the team, Ma Chonghan. When Pei Xiaoyun told Cao Tieqiang the news that the head of the regiment had been transferred to guard platoon to suppress, Cao Tieqiang's spirit of taking full responsibility for one person moved everyone, and the whole platoon of educated youth prepared to have a big fight with the guard platoon. Fortunately, Sun Guotai, the old political commissar who arrived in time, stopped him. Afterwards, the old political commissar severely criticized Ma Chonghan and gave him greater punishment in the party. At today's meeting, he felt that his prestige was facing an open challenge. What the participants wanted was the attitude of Sun Guotai, the political commissar. What he thinks at the moment is that although he can't decide whether to stay or not, he will stall Cao Tieqiang and make him regret it for the rest of his life! At this point, all the educated youth already knew the contents of the ongoing meeting, and countless torches gathered in the conference room from all directions. Pei Xiaoyun on the hump has been on duty for more than two hours, freezing horribly, and the "Panther" has begun to run in circles in the snow. The cold wind suddenly intensified. Pei Xiaoyun, an ugly and taciturn girl, lost her mother at an early age, and her father, who was labeled as a "reactionary lecturer", left her soon. Her lonely life makes her feel inferior in front of everyone. She fell in love with Cao Tieqiang silently, but she didn't have the courage to say a word to him. During a training session, she took off her shoes and ran away. Cao Tieqiang warmed her frozen feet with her chest. To this end, she is jealous of her mentor Zheng Yaru. She knew that Zheng Yaru also loved Cao Tieqiang. Cao Tieqiang was once conquered by Zheng Yaru's love. Later, Zheng Yaru used his father's power to get Cao Tieqiang an admission notice to a medical university, but Zeng Tieqiang was transferred to another strange educated youth who was interested in taking root in the Great Northern Wilderness. To this end, Zheng Yaru and Cao Tieqiang became stiff. When the border situation deteriorated, the Corps was armed for combat readiness and issued a gun to every educated youth in Gongwu. Although Pei Xiaoyun wrote the application in blood, he still didn't get the gun. Cao Tieqiang comforted her and wanted to give her the enemy's gun. When she was in extreme pain, Cao Tieqiang expressed her love. Standing on the sentry post today, although I endured the cold attack, my heart was full of happiness. At this time, she also saw countless torches shaking at the foot of the mountain. The educated youths who flocked to the meeting room stood silently in the cold wind and confronted the people who came out of the meeting room. Ma Chonghan, the head of the delegation, appeared in front of more than 800 educated youths and began to speak. Immediately, from the educated youth team, a cry of no longer being deceived was generated. Ma Tuanchang realized that the history of being regarded as a "colonel" by educated youth has passed, and he felt a kind of sadness in his heart. If he loses something, let the political commissar Sun Guotai come out to turn things around. The footprint of the political commissar covers more than 20 companies in the whole regiment. He is familiar with educated youth, loves them and cares about them. There is a bridge of knowledge and understanding between him and educated youth. Tonight, he looked at the educated youth with deep eyes and told them that he would go through the formalities for every educated youth who returned to the city as soon as possible. At the moment, the snowstorm hit the regimental headquarters area violently. Educated youths scattered around a dozen bonfires, and some sawed poplars on both sides of the regimental road. The regimental headquarters of the Corps was shrouded in a primitive and barbaric atmosphere. Some of them cursed the conference room for studying problems too slowly. The little bricklayer who followed the crowd led everyone to "dance" by the fire. Suddenly, there was a chopping sound, and he ran with another educated youth to stop some educated youth scratching. The old political commissar also criticized the troubled educated youth and felt extremely sad about their destructive behavior. The bonfire went out in piles. A female educated youth fainted with cold. On the radio, the political commissar ordered the whole regiment to take the educated youth to every household, and the educated youth would go through the formalities of returning to the city in the morning. Liu Mike, the chief of the regiment military affairs unit and educated youth, walked from home to the office area. Suddenly, he saw a smoke and flame coming out of the warehouse, and there were lights in the regimental bank. When he strode through the door, he was hit hard on the head and a dagger went into his body. He struggled against the doorframe and shot the man who set fire to the bank. His head hung down, and Tai Pei Xiaoyun stood on the sentry post completely frozen, but the cold also froze the floating smile on her face. Pei Xiaoyun died, and Cao Tieqiang was extremely sad. She is directly responsible for the death of Pei Xiaoyun, who forgot to arrange the change of duty. Facing the dead, her conscience was strongly condemned. At dawn the next day, the educated youth gathered in the cadre stocks, organizational stocks and financial stocks to go through the formalities of returning to the city. Overnight, the old political commissar aged a lot, and the death of two educated youths caused a sense of guilt and sadness in his heart. In the land of the Great Northern Wilderness, 39 educated youths were left, and two others were buried here. Cao Tieqiang did not return to the city, and the son of the Great Northern Wilderness will take root in this land forever. The bricklayer stayed with Cao Tieqiang. Zheng Yaru, the instructor, quietly left the land of the Great Northern Wilderness with melancholy and loss.
Appreciating the works in a wide range of life fields and far-reaching historical background shows the magical and tragic fate of the educated youth of the Great Northern Wilderness generation. The writer's idea is: no matter how complicated the history has undergone, the educated youth in the Great Northern Wilderness is still worthy of pride; Although they suffered hardships and many unfair treatments there, even full of absurdity and fallacy, they grew up and matured after all. When they left there, they were dismayed to find their youth years dedicated to the Great Northern Wilderness, their heroism and their responsibility to the times. In short, all the precious things in their history should not be forgotten by society or by themselves. Most of the characters in the works show heroic temperament. Facing the difficulties in the production and construction of the Great Northern Wilderness, the ruthlessness of nature, all kinds of man-made, evil and absurd from all directions, and all kinds of contradictions arising from the exploration of life within the educated youth, the educated youth showed fearless spirit of sacrifice and heroism. Cao Tieqiang is a descendant of the older generation of reclamation soldiers. He is more heroic and responsible than others. In the wrong struggle with Ma Chonghan, his help and care for educated youth friends conflicted with Zheng Yaru's thoughts and permeated with his heroic temperament. Of course, Cao Tieqiang is not perfect. His immaturity in Fire Guard Platoon and the inner conflict caused by the contradiction between his seriously ill father and his career and sense of responsibility all indicate that his growth has a process. Compared with him, the formation of Liu Mike's heroic temperament has gone through a tortuous process. At first, Mike Liu was just an accomplice and clown of Ma Chonghan's persecution of educated youth, and he was proud of playing down a peg or two with educated youth. Later, Ma Chonghan wanted to "auction him off", and the educated youth either teased him for revenge or helped him sincerely, so that he could understand life from both positive and negative aspects and himself. In the process of thinking and exploring, he became a "friend between life and death" with the educated youth, and the collectivism spirit of the educated youth was transformed and cultivated, which made him abandon the inferiority of being a hero and become a real hero. Several other figures, such as Pei Xiaoyun's spirit of sacrifice in the sentry post, the heroic behavior of the bricklayer in the fire, and the heroic temperament shown from different angles, are all like heroic symphonies played in the whole work. In his works, the writer persistently pursues the truth of educated youth's life and strives to practice typical creative principles. As far as possible, the writer touches the reality of the life of educated youth in the Great Northern Wilderness, so that the characters, environment and atmosphere in his works have a strong sense of reality. The work focuses on the specific historical moment when the educated youth returned to the city, gathers the tortuous and rich course of the educated youth movement for eleven years, and packages the readers to live an educated youth life again. When trying to grasp the realistic feeling of his works, the writer did not fall into trivial naturalism, but tried to practice typical creative principles. For example, the writer chose the incident of educated youth returning to the city, not only because it is a sensitive subject that no one has ever set foot in, but also because it embodies profound social life and strong attractive contradictions and conflicts. The dramatic conflict formed by this incident in the works provides a typical plot and environment for the development of characters' personalities. The conflict between 800 educated youths and Ma Chonghan, the head of the group, on the night of the snowstorm was actually the general outbreak of the long-term opposition between the vast number of educated youths and the left-leaning mistakes in the past eleven years. Writers pursue gorgeous aesthetic taste. Choosing a major historical event of educated youth returning to the city requires not only courage and boldness, but also the author's unique aesthetic taste and ability to grasp freely, so that all contradictions and conflicts can be resolved overnight, which will inevitably make the plot progress show a rapid, intense and vivid artistic effect. In line with the characteristics of this plot, the setting of characters also has distinct contrast colors. In the whole work, the history of educated youth is intertwined with the reality of returning to the city, the conflict scene like a snowstorm in the regimental headquarters and Pei Xiaoyun's warm memories on the "sixth coordinate", so that the rhythm of the work is balanced in the rising tide of the plot. Through these works, the songs of life and death of a generation of educated youth are directly projected in front of readers, and they pursue a low and cold style in the description of suffering and fallacies, but they do not exclude passionate shouts, wild pride, heroic and magnificent pictures and powerful characters. This is like rolling up a vigorous style in the reader's mind and ringing a solemn and passionate Hong Zhong, which makes the whole work high-pitched, magnificent and full of masculine beauty. It is still unsatisfactory to demand works with higher standards. For example, while fully affirming the spiritual fruits accumulated in turbulent times, writers pay insufficient attention to the complexity of objective life in that era. Therefore, the complexity and profundity of love and hate for the educated youth in the Great Northern Wilderness are not fully shown in his works. Cao Tieqiang and others insisted on staying, but also lacked deeper personality mining. The decision to stay seems a bit too easy. The so-called wave of educated youth returning to the city coexisted with it on the first day of the educated youth movement. Four hundred thousand educated youth in the Great Northern Wilderness returned to the city one after another, not one day but in the middle of the eleventh year. Related political changes, as well as various privileges, unhealthy tendencies and other complex historical realities, should be reflected more.
