The two films need to be seen one after the other because they enter in resonance. However what she said , I have heard and read this type of stories many time then it is difficult for me to be surprised and moved . I heard much more tragic stories . I understand that she takes some risks in giving this interview - she could be punished and the film director too. They will be punished probably in a way or another. They will be criticized by some Chinese nationalists as "slaves of the West" . But the punishment will not be too harsh -I hope- because many of the Chinese Communist Elite have also, few years later, suffered and often worst than that during the Culture Revolution. During 1957-1962 , we need to have in mind that 35 millions Chinese mainly peasants died by hunger and among them the so called "rightist" like the husband of this woman. I understand why the film director chooses to direct in this way -it's artistically very efficiency but historically it is frustrating because even now she doesn't seem to understand why Mao , advised by Khen Sheng , acted in this way , why at this moment , why Mao has betrayed so many Chinese who wanted to help to make a better China.Mao didn't act like Stalin in the thirties killing by pure paranoiac madness to establish his(Stalin) power by absolute terror? Mao acted because of fear to lose control and power, he acted rationally to eliminate potential enemies who could have put him on the side in 1958 as it happened few gears later in 1962.
