A Childhood Shattered by Revolution
Imagine being twelve years old, adored by teachers, and filled with boundless ambition-only to have your world violently upended overnight. This was Ji-li Jiang's reality when Chairman Mao's Cultural Revolution swept through China in 1966. Born on Chinese New Year and named "lucky and beautiful," Ji-li was the model student who proudly wore her red scarf as a Young Pioneer. Her dreams of becoming a dancer, doctor, or architect seemed entirely within reach until a pivotal moment changed everything. When selected to audition for the prestigious Central Liberation Army Arts Academy, her father forbade her participation, revealing a devastating family secret: their "class status" as descendants of a landlord would disqualify her regardless of talent. This rejection marked Ji-li's first encounter with the cruel reality that in revolutionary China, her identity would be defined not by her achievements but by her "class origin"-something she had no control over. As she hid from classmates in shame, the once-confident girl began questioning everything she believed about merit and fairness in a society she thought was building equality.
