My name is Ji-li Jang and I was selected to attend a revolutionary training camp in the mountains of China. China was experiencing a period of extreme social upheaval and change during the 1960s. Mao Zedong wanted to reclaim China's former glory as an empire by making all countries around them adopt socialism. The Cultural Revolution made this goal possible, but it would also cause over 10 million deaths and countless more injuries. The Cultural Revolution began with senior party members imposing a radical purge on their own children and friends, who were deemed "class enemies." This resulted in the Chinese people being encouraged to point out those that any party member considered class enemies, which resulted in widespread violence, violence against women, intimidation, work camps for children, re-education camps for adults, harsh labor assignments for peasants, large scale re-education programs for intellectuals including professors and students as well as rewarding or punishing parents based on if their children committed mistakes or not. Ji-li Jang was born into one of these families who experienced the symptoms of the Cultural Revolution first hand at its beginning and end. Her story begins with the fear between her family members and ends with her hope that they can survive despite everything they've been through.
