Description
Trees Without Wind A Novel by Rui Li is set against the backdrop of China's Cultural Revolution. In a remote Shanxi village, a rare affliction has left residents physically stunted. Director Liu and Zhang Weiguo, two men with differing visions for the future, engage in a power struggle that threatens to upend the community. Nuanyu, an outsider who lives a polyandrous lifestyle, becomes embroiled in their conflict. Her unique situation serves as a catalyst for the factional infighting among Party representatives and the manipulation of the village's deformed residents. As tensions escalate, Director Liu and Zhang Weiguo's struggle takes on a larger significance, highlighting the battle between politics, self-interest, and passion in a world torn apart by ideological extremism. This novel is a collectively told narrative that explores the complexities of human relationships and the devastating consequences of extreme ideology.
