Abstract

An immigrant from China presents a chronicle of her experience as a young adult during China’s Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution, to coincide with its sixtieth anniversary. In this memoir, Yili Olson reveals how ideology invaded daily life and weakened human bonds, but also how she and others were able to persevere with sometimes heroic human decency. The narrative testifies to how cruelty and moral courage coexisted during one of the twentieth century’s most devastating upheavals. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
