I read A Beast Slinks Towards Beijing this year by Alice Evelyn Yang. It’s her debut novel and I was blown away by how seamlessly she incorporated the mood of the CR with the history and coupled it with character development.

Cool post. Recently reread the Three Body Problem, which opens in the Cultural Revolution. Really interesting read.

Sorry if I asked you this previously but have you read Yu Hua’s To Live? Any comparisons between that and Brothers (which I haven’t read)?

Have you read Wild Swans? A memoir of three generations of women. It is my only context so far, so I will read some of your recs.

This video is a godsend because I genuinely was just thinking about how I find it so fascinating to learn about the Cultural Revolution through fiction and want to read more of them! The ones I’ve loved are Balzac and the Little Chinese Seamstress, The Three-Body Problem, and Real Americans
