In the radical atmosphere of the Cultural Revolution, Lian's family has lost their prominence and is considered beneath contempt. Just as Lian forms a friendship with Kim, a reviled outcast of the third caste, ironically, the highest class by Mao's decree, Lian's father is transferred to a far-off province, and her mother, a historian, is forced into a reeducation camp. When Lian becomes ill, her headstrong mother secures permission to take Lian with her to the prison camp. There, despite the grueling conditions, Lian has the educational opportunity of a lifetime: Several of the nation's leading scholars, all prisoners of the regime, teach her lessons she would never have learned at school. ...
The Lily Theatre
In this remarkable fictionalised memoir, Lulu Wang tells the story of a teenage girl, Lian, during the Cultural Revolution. Separated from her lower-caste friend, Kim, when she joins her mother in a reeducation camp, Lian finds solace there with some of China's leading scholars, who teach her to distinguish truth from propaganda. But on her return home, Lian struggles to keep her integrity as the rigid traditional caste-system undermines her friendship with Kim and as the country is swept by a fresh wave of terror and chaos. An immense success on its publication in the Netherlands, this is a beautifully written account of an intellectual, emotional and sexual awakening in extraordinary circumstances.
