In
the story of “The Tall Woman and her Short Husband”, the effects
of the cultural revolution were very apparent. The government had a
major role in this in its push to unify all the people on the same
level and encourage to spy on their neighbors and to report
prohibited activities. This is the reason why Mr. Short was reported
of smuggling out the results of his research. Even when Mr. Short
finally returns home to Mrs. Tall she has a stroke and dies.
I
hope this helps, Regards.
