«Azalea Rossa», subtitled «Un clamoroso successo mondiale», is the autobiographical novel by Anchee Min, published by TEA in paperback (251 pages, in Italian).
Anchee, educated according to Mao's principles, is sent during the Cultural Revolution to Red Fire Farm, which from a model farm becomes an oppressive space dominated by ideology and the struggle for power. At Red Fire Farm she finds a single refuge: a clandestine love, marked by transgression and the fear of being discovered.
Work originally published as «Red Azalea» in 1993; the Italian translation is by Dolores Musso.
For readers of memoirs and recent Chinese history, a personal testimony about the Maoist era.

Her fiction emphasizes strong female characters, such as Jiang Qing, the wife of chairman Mao Zedong, and Empress Dowager Cixi, the last ruling empress of China.
