    This book is a memoir about Ji-Li's childhood during the cultural revolution in China. 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!!

    This story makes me grateful for the freedoms we have in America. Though our country isn't perfect, I'm thankful for our constitution and the founding fathers. I pray our country never adopts communist beliefs.

    Revealing memoir about the cultural revolution in China. 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.

    Superb account of the cultural revolution through the eyes of young girl who actually went through it. China serves as a watchword for how badly a paternalistic government can get it.
