Why is Hong a historical freak?
Hong is a character with profound thoughts successfully created in Su Shuyang's Neighbor. He is a political speculator and nouveau riche whose soul was distorted by ultra-left thoughts in ten years of turmoil. He used to be an old worker who worked for many years, but his thoughts were seriously polluted and distorted because of the influence and poison of extreme "Left" thoughts. He thinks he is the most "revolutionary" and "follows" step by step, either "transforming" others or "occupying the superstructure". He not only occupied Li Zhenmin's house, but also became the workshop director in The Apprentice, who was prominent and cocky for a while. Because he always accuses and interferes with the neighbors in the compound with ulterior motives, he is called a "nuisance". At the same time, he is a comedy character with tragic color. He caught "class struggle" all day and "chased after it" everywhere, but he was labeled as "attacking model operas and insulting Comrade Jiang Qing" and was arrested; After the downfall of the Gang of Four, he was more absent-minded, living in depression, grumbling and emptiness, mixed with some struggles unwilling to lose momentum. From Hong, he profoundly showed the poison and disaster caused by the ultra-left ideological trend of the Gang of Four and the brand of the "Cultural Revolution" for ten years. Therefore, he is called a "historical freak".
