Title Details
Description
Born in Shanghai in 1957, Anchee Min became a member of the Little Red Guards and was sent at age 17 to work at a labor collective, the Red Fire Farm. Her education was one of fear, deprivation, and hardship. Forbidden to speak, dress, read, write, or love as she pleased, she nevertheless found a lifeline that helped her survive the horrors of her daily existence. Red Azalea is an eloquent, poignant true story in which Anchee Min tells of her own emotional and political education, opening a window on the Cultural Revolution to reveal the toll it took on the young men and women caught in its fatal coils. It is read by actress Nancy Kwan (The Joy Luck Club).
