Title: LOWDOWN ON THE CULTURAL REVOLUTION--AND THEN SOME
Product review: If you want to know about China before, during, and after the Cultural Revolution, then read this book. The story starts in the era of the early 1900's and goes up to the present. The author's mother's name in Chinese means Wild Swans in English hence: reason for the title. Ms. Chang's parents were high up politically in China and she did get extra favors during her life, however, there was a lot of suffering goin' on due to Mao's policies. How a billion people can get sucked into ravaging a country points out the importance of educating and training the youth...properly with high values! This is one fine read.
