Era Background
In the early days of the Liberation War in 1946, a confrontation between the enemy and ourselves formed in the Northeast. In order to consolidate its base areas and mobilize manpower and material resources to support the war of liberation, the People's Liberation Army began to implement land reform. However, a small group of defeated Kuomintang bandit leaders fled into the mountains and forests, colluded with local habitual bandits and landlord bullies, formed bandit armed forces, and appeared erratically, carrying out crazy burning, killing, looting, and sabotaging land reform.
As a result, the superiors decided to organize small teams to go into the mountains, carry out small group operations, conduct reconnaissance and attack the enemy at the same time, and combine reconnaissance and attack. The author and his comrades took part in this glorious and arduous task. In the winter of 1946, they went deep into the deep mountains and forests of the Xiaoxing'an Mountains in Northeast China, and started dealing with the bandit leader who claimed to have several brigades.
Due to the party’s wise leadership and cordial care, and due to the strong support of the local people, in this struggle to break through dangers, experience difficulties within difficulties, exert wisdom within wisdom, and defeat demons within demons, the author The will of his comrades became stronger, and they defeated the enemy in military technology and combat strategies until the bandits were eliminated.
In the struggle, they brought into play the fine tradition of hard work of the People's Liberation Army, overcame hardships that would be unbearable for ordinary people, and overcame unimaginable difficulties. Sometimes they sleep in stone caves, next to wild beasts; sometimes they get into snow cellars to rest, using the ground as their bed and the sky as their quilt; they cross valleys, fly into streams, climb walls and jump over rocks, breaking through natural barriers and surviving in temperatures as low as minus 38 to 40 degrees Celsius.

But unfortunately, in the last days of the battle in the forest and snow fields, Yang Zirong was hit by the enemy's silent pistol and died gloriously.
Creative process
Qu Bo had never engaged in literary creation before, but the fighting heroes who sacrificed their lives for the revolution always lived in his heart. When he was recovering from his injuries in the hospital, he told the stories of his comrades countless times, and also talked about the battle in the forest and snow fields countless times. These stories, especially the heroic deeds of Yang Zirong, make the listeners moved and amazed, and they gain some strength from them.
After all, he had a strong desire to create. However, due to my busy work and low writing skills, I tried to write three chapters at first, but I felt that I was unable to do it: first, I couldn't express my inner feelings in writing; second, I couldn't distinguish the importance, and the narrative was straightforward, and the power could not be used on the edge of the knife. In a fit of rage, he tore up all three chapters he had written.
In the middle of the night before the Spring Festival in 1955, the author went home in the snow, thinking hard all the way about how to write this novel well and how to break through language barriers and other issues. When he got home, he saw his sleeping wife and children, and a deep feeling couldn't help but surge into his heart: He remembered that eight years ago, there was also a violent storm and snowstorm in Northern Manchuria, and it was the eve of the attack on Weihu Mountain. .
Nowadays, the motherland has become unprecedentedly powerful, and has made brilliant achievements in all aspects of construction. My cabin is so warm and comfortable, and my family life is so happy. But in all of this, Yang Zirong, Gao Bo, etc. Comrades did not see it and did not enjoy it. It is for a better today and a better future that they sacrificed their precious lives in the most difficult years.
Looking out the window at the flying snowflakes, the vast forest sea, and the white snowfields, the images and deeds of comrades such as Yang Zirong, Gao Bo, Chen Zhenyi, Luan Chaojia, Sun Dade, Liu Yuncang, Liu Qingquan, and Li Hengyu are revealed again. One came to mind of the author. From then on, Qu Bo worked overtime for three to four hours every night, and Sundays and holidays were the times when he concentrated most on writing. From February 1955 to August 1956, in one and a half years of spare time, Qu Bo completed a manuscript of 400,000 words.
