Red Memory: The Afterlives of China's Cultural Revolution

內容簡介

內容簡介 A 13-year-old Red Guard revels in the great adventure, and struggles with her doubts. A silenced composer, facing death, determines to capture the turmoil. An idealistic student becomes the 'corpse master' . . .More than fifty years on, the Cultural Revolution's scar runs through the heart of Chinese society, and through the souls of its citizens. Stationed in Beijing for the Guardian, Tania Branigan came to realise that this brutal and turbulent decade continues to propel and shape China to this day. Yet official suppression and personal trauma have conspired in national amnesia: it exists, for the most part, as an absence.Red Memory explores the stories of those driven to confront the era, who fear or yearn for its return. What happens to a society when you can no longer trust those closest to you? What happens to the present when the past is buried, exploited or redrawn? And how do you live with yourself when the worst is over?

各界推薦

各界推薦 Very good and very instructive. It's Mao's Cultural Revolution revisited with all the pain and agony that went with it. -- Margaret AtwoodInvestigative journalism at its best, its hard-won access eliciting deep insight... A survey of China's invisible scars that makes essential reading for anyone seeking to better understand the nation today. -- Marina Benjamin ― GuardianDark, gripping. Branigan ends with an excellent analysis of how contemporary Chinese politicians seek to mimic the Cultural Revolution while following very different paths. -- Rana Mitter ― ObserverThis is a beautifully written and thought-provoking book. -- Yuan Yi Zhu ― The Times
