Red Memory : Living, Remembering and Forgetting China?s Cultural Revolution
Branigan, Tania
An indelible exploration of the Cultural Revolution and how it shapes
China today, Red Memory uncovers forty years of silence through the
rarely heard stories of individuals who lived through Mao’s decade of
madness. ’Written with an almost painful beauty.’ JONATHAN
FREEDLAND’Took my breath away.’ BARBARA DEMICK’Haunting.’ OLIVER
BURKEMAN’A masterpiece.’ JULIA LOVELLA 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?
