Ji-Li is a smart, independent girl. Her grandpa was a landlord, so her family was classified as "black". Ji-Li faced many troubles and decisions. A hard decision for her was to stay or tear apart from her "black" family.
YAY I met Ji-Li Jiang!!”

Though our country isn't perfect, I'm thankful for our constitution and the founding fathers. I pray our country never adopts communist beliefs.”

The author paints a vivid picture of what life was like for families amidst the revolution. A people yearning to please their superiors, however also devoted to their histories, living conflicted, living in fear, forced to give up anything that has ever had meaning to them...insightful and informative novel. ”
