Extending to junior high school has always been the object of "petty bourgeoisie" emotional criticism. The second grade of junior high school coincides with the outbreak of the Cultural Revolution. After half a year's enthusiasm, Shu Ting became a veritable bard, quietly hiding at home, and contacted a large number of works by world writers such as Hugo, Balzac, Tolstoy and Mark Twain. From 65438 to 0969, the flood of "going to the countryside" swept through. She packed Pushkin's poems and came to Ba Tai Commune in western Fujian to settle in line. In the countryside, she began to keep a diary and copy the works of various great Chinese and foreign poets, and regarded writing letters as a great enjoyment of life.
