In this exquisitely crafted memoir, the personal and historic events that shaped Jaia's life and country come alive. A toddler when the Cultural Revolution erupted, at age five Jaia accompanied her "Stinking Ninth Category Intellectual" Mama to a labor camp in desolate Hu Bei Province. Back in Beijing several years later, they were reunited with Jaia's extraordinary father, a war hero before liberation, now a con man living by his wits. Jaia spent her school years determined to be a revolutionary warrior and "Chairman Mao's best kid," while the lives of those closest to her revealed the futility of her childhood dream: her sweet, loyal Uncle Sea, a brilliant musician sentenced to hard labor for a harmless remark; her irrepressible schoolmate Little Plum, whose willful impulse to freedom would have devastating consequences; and her first love, Yangtze, a celebrated poet-martyr of the 1976 Tiananmen Square Clear Light Rebellion. Finally, at the age of twenty-one - disillusioned and dismayed by the state of China - Jaia left the country of her birth for the United States." --Descripción del editor. | ||
