China: The Revolution Continued

Paul Britten Austin

0/5 ( ratings)

Did the Red Guards change the Chinese way of life? Was rural society really affected by the famous Cultural Revolution?

Jan Myrdal’s book is his second study of the Shensi village of Liu Ling, a sequel to the pioneering Report from a Chinese Village. Seven years on he discovered the new realities of Chinese society at grass roots level—the political gatherings, the re-education of students from Peking and Sian, the signs of increased affluence, the daily teaching from the “little red book,” and the extraordinary efforts made to exculpate the “class sin” of egoism. His story and the photographs by his wife Gun Kessle are a startling record of the achievements of the Cultural Revolution and the dramatic changes forced on rural society by the revolutionary Red Guards.
