Written As A Witness

Más información sobre el libro

Focusing on memoirs from the Cultural Revolution, this study examines works by Chinese authors from the 1980s and 1990s, both within and outside China. It establishes a framework for comparing these narratives, highlighting the authors' differing perspectives on shared historical events. While these memoirs aim to convey authentic experiences, the author urges readers to critically assess their truthfulness, particularly noting the constraints faced by writers in Mainland China and the potential biases in those published in the West.
