Summary:
"Not Many books on Mao's epic revolution have been written by ordinary Chinese citizens. This memoir describes the revolution from the point of view of a woman from a working-class family. Youfeng Shen, the daughter of a Shanghai textile worker, lived through the famine, turbulent political movements and the Cultural Revolution between 1950s and 1970s. Her book tells the inside story of the unexpected opportunities the revolution brought, as well as the hardships and struggles she survived with the love and support of her family and local community. Ms. Shen also describes the cultural shock she experienced while studying in England and the failed marriage which initiated her five-year plan to leave China once again. In words from her heart, she recounts how the horror of the Tiananmen Square massacre drove her final decision to search a better life in America for herself and her daughter"--Page [4] of cover.
