在以阶级斗争为纲的年代,不少诗人受到不公正的待遇,曾卓也不例外。在1955年那场震惊中外的“胡风反革命集团”冤案中,他受到了严重的迫害,被卷入风暴的中心。他先是在铁窗下生活,后是被驱赶到农村落户。写《悬崖边的树》时,诗人正在农村劳动。那是在1970年,曾卓从自己所在的小队到另一个小队去,途 In the era of class struggle, many poets were unfairly treated. Zeng Zhuo was no exception. In the case of the “Hu Feng Counter-Revolutionary Group” that shocked the Chinese and foreign countries in 1955, he was severely persecuted and caught up in the center of the storm.

It was in 1970 that Zeng Zhuo went from his own team to another team.
