Summary:
Based on author's
Chinese
book entitled "Traces of Time" published in 2010. Just over fifty years ago, China's
Cultural
Revolution
began. The movement was intended to bring about a return to revolutionary Maoist beliefs and resulted in attacks on intellectuals and those believed to be counter-revolutionaries, capitalists and rightists; a large-scale purge in government posts; the appearance of a personality cult around Mao Zedong; and an estimated death count of between one and three million. When Katherine Luo moved from Hong Kong to mainland China in 1955 to study drama and opera, she hoped her ideals and patriotism might help to build her country. Like many citizens, she loved the motherland and admired its revolutionary leaders. After years of completely trusting the regime, rationalizing its decisions and betrayals, and criticizing herself for doubting the Party, she realized that no matter how much she loved China, it would never love her back because she had the wrong background - capitalist class origins and overseas connections. A memoir of Luo's personal struggles - among other things, she was expelled from university, forbidden to marry her first love, and accused of being a spy. Luo's colleagues and famous artists were dogged by their backgrounds - the unluckiest in the "to be executed, imprisoned or placed under surveillance" category; family members and teachers were labelled rightists; friends and war heroes were imprisoned; careers were ruined, families separated, ordinary people lifted to power one morning and destroyed overnight.
