Title: An incredible book depicting the hardships under Mao
Product review: This was an outstanding book. It kept me turning page after page all night long. I had to read this for my Asian history class at Ohio State. We have had other books to read for this class. By far, this book was much more interesting. The main reason is, that it talks about a personal struggle as well as the struggle of the population in general. It tied very large events that we have learned about in history such as the "Great Leap Forward" and "Mao's Personality Revolution" into a personal perspective and actually made me realize what Mao's thought control programs actually did to the Chinese people. This shows us another example of what can happen when someone gets too much power.
