他擁抱著她，這時他知道，
只有兩個人在一起的時候是有一種絕對的安全感，
除此以外，在這種世界上，也根本沒有別的安全。

大學畢業生劉荃響應政府號召，到西北農村參加「土改」，對同行的女孩黃絹產生情愫。兩人意氣昂揚地投身運動，卻發現改革的旗幟掩不住殘忍的燒殺擄掠，唯有彼此相依，才聊以慰藉。然而，劉荃很快就被分配到上海工作，紛沓而來的政治鬥爭不僅湮沒了他的理想，還讓他賠上此生最珍貴的愛情……張愛玲以《赤地之戀》再度直面社會議題，在是非黑白沒有標準、人的理性失去憑恃的時代，她寫出知識分子在家國之間的掙扎，也為歷史的傷痕留下血淚的見證。
An NYRB (New York Review Books) Classics Original
Set in the early years of Mao’s China, Naked Earth is the story of two earnest young people confronting the grim realities of revolutionary change. Liu Ch’üan and Su Nan meet in the countryside after volunteering to assist in the new land reform program. Eager to build a more just society, they are puzzled and shocked by the brutality, barely disguised corruption, and ruthless careerism they discover, but then quickly silenced by the barrage of propaganda and public criticism that is directed at anyone who appears to doubt a righteous cause. Joined together by the secret of their common dismay, they remain in touch when Liu departs to work on a newspaper in Peking, where Su Nan eventually also moves. Something like love begins to grow between them—but then a new round of purges sweeps through the revolutionary ranks.
One of the greatest and most loved of modern Chinese writers, Eileen Chang illuminates the dark corners of the human existence with a style of disorienting beauty. Naked Earth, unavailable in English for more than fifty years, is a harrowing tale of perverted ideals, damaged souls, deepest loneliness, and terror.
