It was published in traditional characters in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, and was translated into many foreign languages ​​and published abroad.It has caused great repercussions among intellectuals, and the works have also been translated into many foreign languages ​​and published. The so-called "cadre school" in "Six Chapters of Cadre School" refers to Lin Biao and the "Gang of Four" using it to destroy talents and cadres. There are shocking facts.However, Ji Kang's "Six Chapters of Cadre School" deliberately avoided the narration and description of this aspect of the facts, except for the first one, which somewhat touched the reality of great turmoil and brought heartbreaking facts to her daughter and her family. The remaining five chapters can be said to have selected some seemingly trivial aspects of the life of the "cadre school". "Six Chapters of Cadre School" evokes memories of life in the cadre school in many people's hearts, and fully and deeply expresses the feelings that people feel but cannot express.The Cultural Revolution was a disaster and a catastrophe. As a witness to the disaster and catastrophe, Mr. Yang Jiang always maintained the dignity of an intellectual and worked hard to maintain peace of mind.She poured out the pain and suffering she had suffered in a flat tone and plain words, making people think deeply instead of resentment after reading.

"Six Records of a Cadre School" includes six chapters: "Drilling a Well to Record Labor", "Study Garden Records Leisure", "Small Trends to Record Love", "Adventure Records", and "Misinformation Records".Since Qian Zhongshu went to the cadre school in November 1969 to write, Yang Jiang also went to the cadre school in July 1970. Before that, he was "re-educated" by "workers and the PLA Propaganda Team" at his work unit. All the staff first gathered in the office There are six or seven to nine or ten people in one room. They practice in the morning every morning and study in three units in the morning and afternoon and after dinner. After a while, the elderly and infirm can go home and live, and the study time gradually It was reduced to two units in the morning and afternoon. Both of us moved home to live in... ".After leaving the cadre school, the trainees first participated in labor. "In the early spring of 1971,...the mission of the cadre school changed from labor to 'study'—study class struggle, right?"

"Six Chapters of Cadre School" has a very attractive feature in thought, that is, the author Yang Jiang tried his best to discover and describe the noble sentiments of intellectuals in a difficult environment, showing the Chinese The noble sentiments of the older generation of intellectuals.These famous scholars and writers in our country were thrown into a sparsely populated environment with extremely harsh natural conditions to waste their time at the age of sixty. What kind of national and cultural tragedy is this.But in the "Six Chapters of Cadre School" written by the author, we can't see any expression and expression of despair and sinking emotions, but reveal their eager yearning for life and the future.A sense of community formed by the labor of a particular situation.When the cadre school was sent down to dig a well, the kind of hard work this 60-year-old man could do, but the husband was grateful and grateful for the care he received from his comrades. "The ground was as hard as a rock. I went down with a shovel with all my strength, and only made a white mark, which made the boys laugh. They also dug hard, and it took a pickaxe to chisel. My The "good" is the fast pace; when I couldn't move my hands, I ran back to the company. I took two pick-beaked woks and carried them on my shoulders. Following the example of working in the field, I went to the vegetable garden hungry early in the morning. At breakfast, Ah Xiang and I went back to the kitchen, put steamed buns, porridge, pickles, boiling water, etc. on the cart, and sent them to the vegetable garden. On flat roads or downhill roads, I will push the cart; Axiang will push it at the corners, on the winding path or on the uphill road. It is very difficult; if the push is not stable, the porridge and boiling water will be spilled. I have tried it and I have a deep understanding. This kind of unequal cooperation, fortunately, the laborer does not care about it, and the two work very harmoniously. The author feels that he is taken advantage of by others because of his old age and infirmity, and often feels ashamed that he cannot contribute more, but it seems How can such a contented attitude make people unhappy when they ignore the catastrophe brought to them by the Cultural Revolution?

The little things in life described in "Six Chapters of Cadre School" are vivid and heart-warming, and the feelings shown by the author in the book are really touching and meaningful.Just like what my husband once said: Every dark cloud has a silver edge, which is worth endless aftertaste.After Mr. Qian Zhongshu was sent down first, the two old people could only miss each other through letters. "Write home letters when I have time to keep silent; write in a few words, intermittently, day and night. If these letters are preserved, how interesting it is to re-read now!" And when Mr. Yang Jiang was sent to Henan eight months later, even though he left Very close, but due to time constraints, there are still letters. "Although we are only an hour away from each other, we each belong to ourselves. We have to obey orders and obey disciplines. We can't walk around casually. We often just exchange letters." There is also what Mr. Yang Jiang himself called "Meeting in the Vegetable Garden". "The squad leader sent me to look after the vegetable garden to take care of me, because Mocun's dormitory is not far to the north of the brick kiln, only a little over ten minutes away. Mocun is in charge of tools. My squad leader often asks me to borrow tools. I am excited Walking back and forth, borrowing and returning. Mocun’s full-time job is a messenger. Mocun goes south and east along the stream east of our vegetable field every day. He sometimes makes a detour to visit me in the vegetable field. Mocun takes it from the post office. After receiving emails, we would call across the creek and ask and answer a few questions. When I was guarding the garden alone, our old couple could often meet in the vegetable garden, which is far better than the lovers who date privately in the back garden in old novels and dramas. Yes. One night, after I washed up by the well and went back to my room to sleep, I suddenly found two piles of things on the bed. I turned on the flashlight and took a picture, only to see a bloody, disemboweled dead rat, next to a pile of pink viscera When I met Mo Cun, I told him about the bad luck, saying that the cat "pays" me with rotten rats.Mo Cun comforted me and said: This is a good omen, maybe you have to leave here.Divide the internal organs and body of dead rats into two piles, Li Ye; rats, place them.I laughed out loud, no matter how ingeniously he used dream-manipulation or character-breaking techniques, I couldn't convince me of the good things he made up for me. "

In my opinion, under the big background at that time, the author's little interests seemed so affectionate.Although, it is a trivial matter, how many people can add such a love interest from such a dull and bitter day?Therefore, after reading the story of Mr. Yang Jiang, I thought that the mutual care and love between lovers is actually not difficult to achieve, and it depends on whether there is sincerity and persistence.
