Description: This is a graphic eyewitness account of one of the world's most shocking social upheavals, that will put to rest any remaining romantic notions about Chairman Mao. Two days after the author was born, on May 16, 1966, Mao Zedung began his "Great Cultural Revolution," which caused untold suffering. When she was four years old she watched the beating of her parents. She saw them, bloody and with shaven heads, taken away for what seemed like forever. Their crime? They were in possession of a home and had books, and were therefore considered "bourgeois" intellectuals. Her family was among the tens of thousands of Chinese people persecuted and murdered in the name of the "Social Revolution" That traumatic day marked the end of her innocent childhood. This book was written as an adult living in the United States, and is an important depiction of recent Chinese history that is being too quickly forgotten.
