It turns out that "Long Searching" tells us the story of the Red Guards. And it is the heroic story of the Red Guards full of fond memories and imaginations. If Ding Sitian's father was a so-called famous botanist, then when the Red Guards appeared, her father must have been overthrown as an academic authority. It is impossible for Ding Sitian to maintain the status of the goddess among the Red Guards for the two male protagonists to blatantly compete. And out of the need to uplift the revolutionary spirit, Ding Sitian turned to die to save the two male protagonists. Wouldn't it be alright not to bring one like this? Obviously everyone fled together, but unfortunately she fell off the elevator, removed the stuck stick by the way, and couldn't jump up. This is a tragedy, she unfortunately did not escape, don't glorify it to save others and die. Otherwise, the two male protagonists will be abruptly shouldered the debt of life. In fact, even if she didn't deliberately save them, just based on their feelings for her at that time, the pain of witnessing the death of her loved one was enough to pave the way for finding the other side flower related to Ding Sitian again in the future. Human's natural emotions are completely sufficient, so don't lift it up, it will fall.
Twenty years later, Mojin Xiaowei (the two male protagonists) finally found an opportunity to realize the original revolutionary ideal when he was looking for the other side of the flower for his love back then. When he helped the cult organization headed by Liu Xiaoqing, he finally broke The psychedelic other side flower has been completed, and the unfinished "Broken Four Olds" action has been completed. Who can say that this is not a victory for the Red Guards? Their comrades-in-arms and their loved ones paid the price with their lives for their actions. What's more, at the critical moment when he was confused by the other side of the flower, it was the reversal of the chest badge and the quotation chapter that made Hu Bayi realize the truth and won the victory. Isn't the meaning of the badge that guides the maze not deep enough? Coupled with the revolutionary language that permeates the whole text, it makes people feel that twenty years later, the power of "Newspeak" may not be any less than that of a badge.
The behavior of the Red Guards back then has been transformed into a hero in this way before they have been reckoned with and reflected on. It's really terrifying.
