Mao's Children in the New China

Voices From the Red Guard Generation

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Around 18 million young Chinese people were sent to the countryside between 1966 and 1976 as part of the Cultural Revolution. "Mao's Children in the New China" for the first time allows some of them to tell their moving stories in their own voices. In this inspiring collection of interviews with former Red Guards, members of the first generation to be born under Chairman Mao talk frankly about the dramatic changes which have occurred in China over the last two decades. In discussing the impact these changes have had on their own lives, the former revolutionaries give a direct insight into how ex-Maoists view contemporary China, revealing an attitude perhaps more critical than that of most Western commentators.
