Аннотация
The eagerly-awaited new book by Denise Chong, author of the award-winning, national bestseller, The Concubines Children.In her first book in a decade, beloved author Denise Chong, tells the story of a man who humiliated a repressive regime in front of the entire world, and whose daring gesture informs our view of human rights to this day.Despite his familys impeccable Communist roots, Lu Decheng, a small town bus mechanic, grew up intuiting all that was wrong with Maos China. As a young man he believes truth and decency mattered, only to learn that preserving the Chairmans legacy mattered more. Lus story reads like Shakespearean drama, peppered with defiance, love and betrayal. His steadfast refusal to acquiesce comes to a head, but not an end, with his infamous defacing of Maos portrait during the 1989 protests in Tiananmen Square.From the Hardcover edition.
