Anchee Min recalls her childhood and youth in China during Mao's final years: the public humiliation of a teacher, work in a labour collective and the prohibitions. She narrates a secret love with another woman and her selection for the film version of a Madame Mao opera, until the leader's death ends an entire world.
Part of the Tiempos Modernos collection, in a translation by Rosa Arruti; first edition published in 1994.
A work for readers of memoirs and recent Chinese history, with an intimate look at life under Mao's regime.
