'Very good and very instructive.' MARGARET ATWOOD
'Written with an almost painful beauty.' JONATHAN FREEDLAND
'Took my breath away.' BARBARA DEMICK
'Haunting.' OLIVER BURKEMAN
'A masterpiece.' JULIA LOVELL
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 who are driven to confront the era, fearing or yearning 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?

Red Memory
Seller: Postscript Books, Newton Abbot, DEVON, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Hardcover. Condition: New. Half a century has passed since Mao's Cultural Revolution killed two million people and brutalized many more, yet despite a willed amnesia about this national trauma, the scars remain. In this sensitive account the Guardian's former China correspondent interweaves personal stories with their political context, interviewing artists, writers, lawyers and politicians about their experiences as both victims and perpetrators, and assesses the void the regime left at the heart of Chinese society.
