The beginning of The Tempest is a description of the overall landscape environment. It depicts the characteristics of villages and towns in the south of the Yangtze River from far to near, from large to small, and lays the social tone of the novel, that is, it is not a prosperous and developed big city.
Not in the north, but in a small village in the south. The detailed description of this natural phenomenon shows that the failure of the Revolution of 1911 did not go deep into feudalism among the masses, the countryside and the people.
The literary poetry described at that time was a clever revelation of the cultural background at that time. These literati sat on the wine boat and wrote poems leisurely, satirizing the literati and poets under feudal culture and education. He doesn't care about people's lives or the danger of the country.
The two representatives of old feudalism, the old lady and Zhao, repeatedly compared the connection and difference between "long hair before" and "long hair today", and thought that both the revolution led by the peasant class and the revolution led by capitalism had limitations. Only the working class under the guidance of Marxism can eliminate feudalism and save the China Revolution.
The main characters in The Tempest are as follows:
