Interesting and important account of the author's and his sister's experience as children during the Cultural Revolution, an era about which many Americans know little. There is off-screen sexual violence and an episode of extreme bullying, amounting to torture, that is pretty graphic. I would recommend the book for high school students but am not sure about its suitability for younger readers. ( ) Theoretically, this is a children's book, but it is very heavy on the violence/abuse/bullying. I have no doubt that these are Da Chen's memories and that as events in the Cultural Revolution go, it is presenting a relatively mild experience. From an outside perspective, the book is confusing, the context is confusing, the narrative is a little bit rambling -- very effective at conveying a sense of the world turned upside down for no apparent reason, but also sometimes a little hard to follow. I found it shocking in places, but I think it is an important and very personal account. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
It is the late 1960s and there is no peace in the village of Yellow Stone for little Da and his family, who were former landowners; they are all persecuted by the Red Guard, particularly Da's oldest sister, Sisi, who tries hard to conform to the new political realities, but who cannot overcome the frightened hostility of the other villagers--so Sisi escapes to find work in a school in another town, taking Da with her, and trying to find a compromise between safety and justice, where she can make a decent life for both of them.
