Six books to explain darker aspects of the country’s recent history
New York Review of Books; 216 pages; $18.95 and £15.99
In this first-person account of the Cultural Revolution, Ji Xianlin, a professor at Peking University, recounts how he was forced to live in a “cowshed”, a makeshift prison, on campus in the 1968. Marked as a class enemy because of his status as an intellectual, Ji was tortured by his students, whipped with a bike chain and subjected to months of hard labour. His is one of the most visceral accounts available of the pointless violence that Mao set off across China.
