First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. Anthony, Robert (jacket design); Maunsell, Penelope (rear jacket photograph) (illustrator). 1st Edition. Fine unread condition silver boards, silver cloth spine and maroon spine lettering contained in a near fine condition price-clipped photographic dust jacket. Includes Author Dedication; Appendix; Index and About the Authors. Illustrated with a section of black-and-white photographic plates. "Liang Heng was born in 1954 in Changsha, a large city in Central China. His parents were intellectuals - his father a reporter on a major provincial newspaper, his mother a ranking cadre in the local police. This is Liang Heng's own story, of growing up in the turmoil of the Great Cultural Revolution, the most vivid and personal account to have yet emerged from this violent and largely unknown era. Here is Heng as a child, seeing his family torn apart by politics (his mother made the mistake of criticizing a superior; when the party line changed she was labeled a "righist," and divorce seemed the only hope of saving the whole family from ostracism).becoming a Red Guard at 12 and setting off on a quixotic "New Long March" during which he nearly starved and froze.traveling to Peking to see Mao ("I would have laid down my life for the chance") .scrounging for a living on the streets of Changsha with the "black society" of teenage dropouts ("although they were miserably poor, they were truly free").getting caught in the middle of a Red Guard factional battle that involved machine guns and artillery.searching for his super-revolutionary friend Peng Ming, who mysteriously vanished during Cultural Revolution power struggles.working as a peasant on a commune, and struggling to get an education in spite of everything. Yet Liang Heng is a survivor. There is basketball, his unexpected passprort to a city job and eventually to college. There are love affairs, including a bittersweet romance with the daughter of a high military officer, one of China's new mandarin class. And there is Judy, the "American expert," whom he meets at Hunan Teachers' College, courts (necessarily in secret), and finally marries. What Liang Heng gives us, in short, is a deeply moving and sometimes shocking glimpse of real life in modern China. His story is unique, but at the same time it is in many ways typical of those millions of young Chinese who have been troubled and tested almost beyond endurance in recent years. "Why had the Revolution given us all so little when we had sacrificed everything for it?" he asks. In his words we hear an entire generation speaking." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.
