Synopsis
Anchee Min, "raised on the teachings of Mao", worked at a hopelessly infertile communal farm. This toil for no apparent reason caused her to question her upbringing and devotion to Mao; when she traveled to Beijing to audition for the part of Red Azalea in one of Madame Mao's propagandistic productions, she became completely disillusioned with Maoist doctrine.

Publisher's Note
This New York Times Notable Book tells the true story of what it was like growing up in Mao's China, where the soul was secondary to the state, beauty was mistrusted, and love could be punishable by death. Newsweek calls Anchee Min's prose "as delicate and evocative as a traditional Chinese brush painting."

Winner of the Carl Sandburg Literary Award, this national bestseller tells the true story of Min's life in Mao's China, where the soul was secondary to the state, beauty was mistrusted, and love could be punishable by death.

Industry Reviews
"In this moving study of disillusionment, Min writes without personal rancor, but with anger at ill-conceived enterprises and doctrinal disputes that have wasted so many lives in modern China."
Los Angeles Times Book Review - Charles S. Solomon (06/02/1995)
