Title: Mao's children in the new China
Description: "In this inspiring collection of interviews with former Red Guards, members of the first generation to be born under Chairman Mao talk frankly about the dramatic changes that have occurred in China over the last two decades. In discussing the impact these changes have had on their own lives, the former revolutionaries give a direct insight into how they view both the past and the present, revealing an attitude perhaps more contradictory and critical than that of most western commentators.".

"These poignant memoirs tell the very personal stories of how people from all walks of life were affected by Mao's Cultural Revolution and Deng Xiaoping's economic reforms. They cover topics as diverse as politics, party leadership, nationalism, marriage and divorce, the privatization of industry, family relationships, education and the stock market. Mao's Children in the New China is essential reading for all those interested in learning more about modern China."--BOOK JACKET.
