The article "Lao Wang" was written in 1984. The author described several fragments of his life in the past communication with Lao Wang. During the formal Cultural Revolution, Jiang Yang and his wife suffered a lot at that time and were regarded as the authority of reactionary academics.
But Lao Wang doesn't care about the evaluation of the husband and wife, and still respects the husband and wife as always. In this way, the image of Lao Wang was deeply imprinted in Jiang Yang's mind.
At the time of writing this article, Jiang Yang has passed that turbulent time. When she recalls the kind people she met in turbulent times, people are more likely to ignore their sufferings.
