Chinese-American writer Anchee Min was born in a staunchly Maoist family in 1950’s Shanghai and forced to work on a communal farm from the age of seventeen. She talks about her compelling memoir, which documents her isolation and illicit love against the backdrop of China’s Cultural Revolution. From her coming of age in the Red Guard to her recruitment into Madame Mao’s burgeoning industry of propaganda movies, Anchee Min explores the secret sensuality of a repressive society with elegance and honesty. Introduced by author and editor Rahul Jacob.
