The political movement subverted the superior life, and the despair of swallowing more than 300 pills
When the Cultural Revolution broke out in 1966, 20-year-old Gu Yongfei's life was turned upside down.
She originally lived a prosperous and decent life, her father was a well-known playwright, her mother worked at the local radio station, and the family was in a prominent position.
I didn't expect sports to change everything overnight.
Gu Yongfei was forced to interrupt his studies and separated from his family. She came to a chemical plant and became an ordinary worker. During the day, Gu Yongfei carried out heavy physical labor in the harsh environment, hauling machinery and sorting out sundries.
She is delicate and soft, and she can't bear this kind of work at all. Returning to the crowded and dirty workers' dormitory at night, Gu Yongfei was exhausted, and in his dreams he was also the face of his parents.
Day after day, life with no end in sight makes Gu Yongfei desperate. She was born with a love of stage and theater, but now she sweats in a dung pit. The hope for the future in my heart has been shattered.
Finally, Gu Yongfei chose a way to free himself.
One dark night, Gu Yongfei secretly saved more than 300 sleeping pills. She was lying alone on the bed in her dormitory, staring at the ceiling with vacant eyes, the gentle gaze of her mother in her mind.
She burst into tears, gritted her teeth, and decided to end this unbearable and painful life.
The next day, a colleague found out that the situation was wrong and rushed her to the hospital for emergency treatment. The doctor continuously lavaged her stomach and injected a large amount of glucose. When her family heard the news, they also rushed to the hospital and saw her dying.
Seven days and seven nights later, a miracle occurred, and Gu Yongfei finally woke up.

Soon after the marriage, she discovered that her husband had a short temper and had an alcohol problem. Whenever she gets drunk, she will beat her for no reason to vent her anger. Gu Yongfei's delicate body couldn't resist his punches and kicks at all, so he could only shrink into the corner and hug his head and cry.
When her husband is not at home during the day, she is alone in her small home, full of fear and despair. She began to regret the hasty marriage, but she didn't know what to do.
At least there was freedom in the countryside, but now it's like a cage.
Finally one day, the military husband beat Gu Yongfei again after being drunk. She couldn't take it anymore and decided to flee the place immediately. That night she packed a small bag of luggage and left the house.
A divorce was then filed, ending the short and painful marriage.
