He Liyi belongs to one of China's minorities, the Bai, and he lives in a remote area of northwestern Yunnan Province. In 1979 his wife sold her fattest pig to buy him a shortwave radio. He spent every spare moment listening to the BBC and VOA in order to improve the English he had learned at college between 1950 and 1953. For "further practice," he decided to write down his life story in English. Humorous and unfiltered by translation, his autobiography is direct and personal, full of richly descriptive images and phrases from his native Bai language. At the time of He Liyi's graduation, English was being vilified as the language of the imperialists, so the job he was assigned had nothing to do with his education. In 1958 he was labeled a rightist and sent to a "reeducation-through-labor farm." Spirited away by truck on the eve of his marriage, Mr. He spent years in the labor camp, where he schemed to garner favor from the authorities, who nevertheless shamed him publicly and told him that all his problems "belong to contradictions between the people and the enemy." After his release in 1962, the talented Mr. He had no choice but to return to his native village as a peasant. His stratagems for survival, which included stealing "nightsoil" from public toilets and extracting peach-pit oil from thousands of peaches, personify the peasant's universal struggle to endure during those difficult years. He Liyi's autobiography recounts nearly all the major events of China's recent history, including the Japanese occupation, the Communist victory over the Nationalists in 1949, Mao's disastrous Great Leap Forward and Cultural Revolution, the experience of the labor camps, and changes brought about by China's dramatic re-opening to the world since Deng Xiaoping came to power in 1978, No other book so poignantly reveals the travails of the common person and village life under China's tempestuous Communist government, which He Liyi ironically refers to as "Mr. China." Yet he describes his saga of poverty and hardship with humor and a surprising lack of bitterness. And rarely has there been such an intimate, frank view of how a Chinese man thinks and feels about personal relationships, revealed in dialogue and letters to his two wives. He Liyi's autobiography stands as perhaps the most readable and authentic account available in English of life in rural China. He Liyi's previous book is The Spring of Butterflies (London and New York, 1985), a translation of Chinese folk tales.

These evocative stories bring to life the tragic personal impact of the Cultural Revolution on the families of China's intellectuals. Now adults, survivors recall their childhood during the tumultuous years between 1965 and 1976, when Mao's death finally drew a curtain on a bitterly failed social and political experiment.A series of first-person narratives eloquently describes the life-long influence of this seminal period on China's children. Those who were teenagers in the late 1960s joined the Red Guards and the revolutionary rebel groups, following Mao's directives to make revolution, often to their own undoing. Those who were too young to participate directly were even more vulnerable. Although they had little understanding of the political firestorm that engulfed their parents, they were old enough to understand and feel the terror it brought. Vividly capturing the emotional intensity of the time, these stories explore what it was like to be caught up in revolutionary fervor, to be sent to the countryside, to be separated,either ideologically or physically,from one's parents, often forever.By undermining families and family structure, the Cultural Revolution created a generation of Chinese who view politics, the Communist Party, and life itself with deep cynicism. Presenting a spectrum of individual stories of people who saw the Cultural Revolution through the eyes of a child, The Red Mirror offers rare insights for understanding the crippling legacy of the Cultural Revolution.

This is the third account in a trilogy of escape stories from Communist China during the period of 1949-1976 under Mao's rule. Book One finds the author at a crossroads, undecided about his future as he chooses between completing his university education or fleeing China. His choice of remaining in China leads to a life of great difficulty as he navigates through all the political movements, seeking to stay out of trouble. The author completed his university education in Food Science Engineering, although on a shortened basis because of the Cultural Revolution, and joins the procession of 'sent down' youth to work at a military farm in Yunnan Province. While there he is diagnosed with a stomach ailment and sent back to his home province of Guangdong for one year to recover. Through unusual circumstances, he is able make this transfer permanent, and commences a life of self-study of history and literature, all while living with his parents and supported by the income of his siblings in Hong Kong and Macau-this was, as the phrase became known, his family's window facing south. All through this period including the time during the Cultural Revolution, the author observes the hardships of various members of his own family including his father, uncles and aunts whose lives were brought to ruin because of the CCP's political campaigns and policies. This book describes the author's climax of desperation to escape to a life of freedom, even after he has already failed once and also come face to face with the reality that the chances of escape were not favourable, especially after he witnessed firsthand the loss of friends and loved ones who were never heard of again after their departure from Mainland Chinese soil. Such unfavourable odds, with a failure rate estimated to be as high as a 60-70%, were not enough to deter him from his second attempt, and so he describes this plan to escape, telling of a determination that follows through not just twice but a third time in an unlikely jailbreak that succeeds against all odds. Arriving to the free world brings its own challenges and this includes having to enter Hong Kong from Macau as a stowaway on a boat and register as a refugee. Work opportunities present themselves through a series of low paying jobs yet allowing the author to pursue his true passion of writing and publishing. His first higher paying job is working as a job site supervisor for the construction of one of Hong Kong's MTR's subway stations, completing the job on time and according to specifications. This earned him the offer to take over from the soon to retire owner of the construction company. Instead, the author, now married, chooses to immigrate to the USA to begin a new life in New York City. This concludes the trilogy of escape stories of those who lived under Mao's rule. This was a period of time when survival was the highest aspiration for an individual to hope for, and the natural choice was to flee; the author, like many others, chose freedom. One of the most startling statements in this trilogy is that many of these youth who were seeking to flee China did so because life under the Communists was worse than anything humanly imaginable, including having to endure the life of a slave or even prostitution. And so many chose to flee even though it would cost them even their lives. This book is a memorial to all those who chose to flee.

Praise for the first edition: "... in the great tradition of Orwell and Solzhenitsyn; its true subject is the survival -- and sometimes the defeat -- of the human spirit in its lonely quest for integrity." -- Time "The almost childlike directness of Chen's tales... is captured in the very lightly revised translations of this new edition... Highly recommended." -- Choice A classic of modern world literature, this collection of stories provides a vivid and poignant eyewitness view of everyday life in China during the Cultural Revolution. For this edition, Howard Goldblatt has thoroughly revised the text and updated it to Pinyin romanization. In a new introduction, Perry Link reflects on the book's significance in the post-Tiananmen era. Twenty-five years after its first publication, The Execution of Mayor Yin has lost none of its power to move the reader, and remains unmatched as a document of the period.
