Books, Manuscripts
If a Chinese citizen has read one book on the Cultural Revolution, it is likely to be Ji Xianlin's 'The Cowshed', a candid account of his year of imprisonment on the campus of Peking University and his later disillusionment with the cult of Mao worship. His eyewitness account of this harrowing experience is full of sharp irony, empathy, and remarkable insights.
