Son of the Revolution by Judith Shapiro, Liang Heng

4.0

This book follows the author's life as he experiences the major movements in modern Chinese history. His parents are attacked in the Anti-Rightist campaign, he and his family is sent to the countryside during the Cultural Revolution. However, it is not just a story of the movements, it is a story about people and how they were affected by these different campaigns. It makes the history more personal and relatable.
