  “Great inside look at Mao's China. Nice to hear from someone that was a follower (of Mao) who then became disillusioned once in China. Wong is a Canadian journalist and does a nice job telling the story. Worth reading again.”

  “Great autobiography detailing the evolution of socialist China, from its humble "comrades" to its darker dictators. Even my mother has seen Jan Wong in the news!”

  “Very compelling memoir of China's Cultural Revolution and the later Tiananmen Square massacre. It started my odd fascination with the period, and I've read several books on this subject thereafter. Wong is a good storyteller, it's never boring.”
