Chen, Da

China's Son: Growing Up in the Cultural Revolution

215 pp. | Delacorte | June, 2001 | Trade ISBN 0-385-72929-4 $$15.95
(3) YA Because his grandfather was once a landlord, Chen's formerly privileged family were considered outcasts during China's Cultural Revolution. Chen recalls his mistreatment by neighbors and teachers, his gang experiences, and his determination to attend college. This adaptation of his adult work, Colors of the Mountain, has been shortened and toned down--perhaps needlessly--for a younger audience.
