Anchee Min chronicles her coming of age in Mao's China, from forced labor on a collective farm to acting in propaganda films at Madame Mao's Shanghai studios.

Growing up in Shanghai during the height of the Cultural Revolution, teenager Anchee Min was forced to denounce a beloved teacher before being sent to a desolate labor camp on the East China Sea. Enduring brutal physical labor and communist political indoctrination, Min formed a secret romantic bond with a female camp commander to survive.

When talent scouts select her to audition for the lead role in Madame Mao's propaganda film Red Azalea, Min is swept into the fierce factional politics and backstabbing intrigue of the Shanghai Film Studio.

Why You’ll Love This Book

Anchee Min delivers raw emotional intimacy, historical courage, and an unvarnished personal account of totalitarian China. A landmark 1995 Berkley paperback memoir for readers of Wild Swans and Chinese history.
