During the American Civil War, the economic systems of the North and the South were basically capitalist modes of production, but the two sides adopted different forms. The north is industrial and commercial capitalism, while the south is plantation capitalism. This is a story set in the civil war when Lincoln was president. This book began in Tara, Georgia, on the eve of the American Civil War in 186 1. Scarlett O 'Hara, the heroine in the book, is the eldest of three daughters of Gerald O 'Hara, an Irish immigrant who owns the manor, and his wife Ellen.

Deduct an unusual love story on such a magnificent picture of the times, and create a love epic with a true and broad historical background and fictional characters. The title of the English film Gone with the Wind comes from a poem by Ernest Dawson, an American poet. The heroine's classic finale line "Tomorrow is another day" was the tentative name before the original work was published. Later, a movie called Gone with the Wind was adapted from this book. This film won the 1940 Oscar for Best Film, Best Actress, Best Director, Best Supporting Actress, Best Art Director, Best Photography, Best Editing, Best Screenplay and Science and Technology Achievement Award!
