With twelve separate yet interconnected stories, Shu Jiang Lu alternates between storyteller and listener as she relays haunting memories and explores the devastating effect of Mao's anticultural Cultural Revolution. Lu weaves together the voices of multiple real and fantastic characters: her parents and their treasured yet forbidden bookcase; the mysterious vendors beckoning from Pear Flower Alley; the immortal martial hero; the reactionary opera singer and the black demon novelist; the whispering ghost and dancing fairy; and the author herself, discovering her storyteller's voice in the military camps of her youth. When Huai Flowers Bloom is a poignant, persistent journey toward voice and freedom. 606 $aRevolutions$zChina$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aChina$xHistory$yCultural Revolution, 1966-1976$vPersonal narratives 615 0$aRevolutions$xHistory 676 $a951.05/6 700 $aLu$b Shu Jiang$01811936 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910955906803321 996 $aWhen Huai flowers bloom$94364114 997 $aUNINA
