| Details: |
Anchee Min, "raised on the teachings of Mao", worked at a hopelessly infertile communal farm. This toil for no apparent reason caused her to question her upbringing and devotion to Mao; when she traveled to Beijing to audition for the part of Red Azalea in one of Madame Mao's propagandistic productions, she became completely disillusioned with Maoist doctrine. |
