A generation lost
This is the extraordinary story of a country gone mad and a young woman's struggle to keep what was left of her family alive and together and to continue the education they were being denied. Though the Luos fought ardently for the Communist Revolution in 1949, the Cultural Revolution branded them anti-Revolutionary intellectuals, and Zi-ping's mother was imprisoned. Red Guard raids, beatings, public humiliations, & all-night searches became routine events. During the first few weeks of the Cultural Revolution, the constant shower of glass and rocks forced Zi-ping and her 2 younger brothers to eat their meals under blankets. As the years worn on, China's youth stagnated, but the Luo children resolved to educate themselves.
