Blood Red Sunset: A Memoir of the Chinese Cultural Revolution

First banned in its native land, this earthy, unflinching memoir has become one of the biggest bestsellers in the history of China.
Â
In 1968, a fervent young Red Guard joined the army of hotheaded adolescents who trekked to Inner Mongolia to spread the Cultural Revolution. After gaining a reputation as a brutal abuser of the local herd owners and nomads, Ma Bo casually criticized a Party Leader. Denounced as an â€œactive counterrevolutionaryâ€ and betrayed by his friends, the idealistic youth was brutally beaten and imprisoned.
Â
Charged with passion, never doctrinaire, Blood Red Sunset is a startlingly vivid and personal narrative that opens a window on the psyche of totalitarian excess that no other work of history can provide. This is a tale of ideology and disillusionment, a powerful work of political and literary importance.
Â
â€œA deceptively straightforward story carried forward by deep currents of insight.â€â€”The Washington Post

â€œA genuine, no-holds-barred, unadorned piece of writingâ€¦echoing the realities of contemporary China.â€â€”Liu Binyan, The New York Times Book Review
