Description

I was once born in a small city near the East Sea,
when the Great Cultural Revolution started.
My name is Little Green,
my country Zhong Guo, the Middle Kingdom.
When I used to be ten years old,
our leader had died and the revolution ended.
And this is how I take into account that it.
When Chun Yu was once born in a small city in China, she was once born into a country in revolution. The streets were filled with roaming Red Guards, the walls were covered with slogans, and reeducation meetings were held in all workplaces. Each and every circle of relatives faced danger and humiliation, even the youngest children.
In a while after Chun’s birth, her beloved father was once sent to a peasant village in the countryside to be reeducated in the ways of Chairman Mao. Chun and her brother stayed at the back of with their mother, who taught in a country middle school where Mao’s Little Red Book was once part of Each and every child’s education. Chun Yu’s young life was once witness to a country in turmoil, struggle, and revolution — the only life she knew.
This first-person memoir of a kid’s view of the Chinese Cultural Revolution is a stunning account of a country in crisis and a testimony to the spirit of the individual — no matter how young or how innocent.
