The book is a collection of short stories and proses, which reproduce the common life of the poor and small people who struggled in hutong and multi-family courtyards in Beijing during the 1950's. It provides vivid descriptions about the violence and torture in the cultural revolution. These stories reflect the hard feelings, sympathy, as well as nostalgia of the author. The readers will find themselves crossing both space and time and landing at a distorted coordinate system. For the generation born after 1940 in China, all of them had experienced a big turmoil and a series of political movements. Therefore, they do have plenty impressive stories. However due to the mass surveillance, most of their stories are difficult to be published. This is just the purpose of "Yu Zhou Chang Wan".
