Klappentext
Jan Wong, a Canadian of Chinese descent, went to China as a starry-eyed Maoist in 1972 at the height of the Cultural Revolution. A true believer--and one of only two Westerners permitted to enroll at Beijing University--her education included wielding a pneumatic drill at the Number One Machine Tool Factory. In the name of the Revolution, she renounced rock & roll, hauled pig manure in the paddy fields, and turned in a fellow student who sought her help in getting to the United States. She also met and married the only American draft dodger from the Vietnam War to seek asylum in China. "Red China Blues is Wong's startling--and ironic--memoir of her rocky six-year romance with Maoism (which crumbled as she became aware of the harsh realities of Chinese communism); her dramatic firsthand account of the devastating Tiananmen Square uprising; and her engaging portrait of the individuals and events she covered as a correspondent in China during the tumultuous era of capitalist reform under Deng Xiaoping. In a frank, captivating, deeply personal narrative she relates the horrors that led to her disillusionment with the "worker's paradise." And through the stories of the people--an unhappy young woman who was sold into marriage, China's most famous dissident, a doctor who lengthens penises--Wong reveals long-hidden dimensions of the world's most populous nation. In setting out to show readers in the Western world what life is like in China, and why we should care, she reacquaints herself with the old friends--and enemies of her radical past, and comes to terms with the legacy of her ancestral homeland.

I bought the book with reservation even though it was critically acclaimed by the Time magazine as there are so many books out there nowadays written by Chinese authors banking on their unfortunate past. I really hate whinging book because it leads the readers nowhere. The essence of reading a book is to broaden our knowledge, enabling us to reflect upon our past so that we could build a better foundation for our younger generation. I believe Jan has done just that. Ashamed that I couldn't meet her in person when she gave a talk regarding the book in Christchurch 2 years ago. Believe me, her sequel, Jan Wong's China is just as good or even better than her first masterpiece. Keep up the good work.
What a fascinating book! I loved it. It is a wonderful piece of writing and it's easy to see why Jan Wong is such an acclaimed journalist.I have been to China and have many friends from there. From everything they have shared with me regarding their own experiences, Red China Blues fits exactly with their descriptions of life in those times. Having been born in 1948 and lived under far different circumstances, I find the history of China during the Mao years fascinating. Red China Blues rings true and it is written with wicked humour as well as much sympathy/empathy. Jan Wong has heart and her account of the Tienanmen Square massacre is the most moving I have ever read. I believe it is a totally accurate account and I found myself weeping as I read it. I was profoundly moved and gained a much deeper insight of the events that took place at that time. In fact, I learned many things about China through this marvellous book and was hungry for more. I couldn't put it down and can't wait to read her latest, Jan Wong's China which I have just purchased.
Before leaving for China, I had always appreciated Jan's work that often appeared in the Globe & Mail. Then having spent several years in China, I began to recognize some of the peculiarities during my time there helped by the observations from Jan's writing. I taught at The University of Science & Technology in Hefei, Anhui province where I met one of the leaders of the Democracy Movement who was then under house arrest. I also witnessed many student demonstrations on the campus and lively notice board discussions. In 1978 I left there for Canada after my first contract hoping to return the next year, but the Tiananmen "Incident" intervened. The first person I turned to in Canada for information about China was Jan Wong who continued to write cogently about the turmoil in China. Her book, an excellent collection of her work during her in and out doctrination in The Middle Kingdom, is required reading for those who wish to learn about recent developments in China's continuing dramatic social evolution. I hope she has something else in the mill to bring us up to date on the current economic revolution and its effect on this great but perplexing part of the world.
Jan Wong has captured several important human life cycle aspects dealing with youth and diaspora in her work. First, I recognized the young adult syndrome of always knowing better than those who've passed before. She sneeks us into a young adult psyche world we'd rather forget we were a part of and yet recognize ourselves in her. Next, Wong, through wit and brutal truth leads us on the path of learning that the world is about change. For her that meant a change in politics, language, and nation. Finally, I was swept into her adult writing years and felt more of her contemporary myself by the end of the book. Everyone who's gone through ideological changes will learn to see themselves through Jan Wong's writings. Additionally, those readers unfamiliar with the Chinese language will appreciate her novel way of translating and introducing Chinese names.
I have had the opportunity to speak with Ms. Wong about China before, and found that her current views regarding China are fairly fluffy and naive.Upon re-reading this book a few years pst my first reading and after this conversation, (plus some eleven China trips later), I can certainly see some flaws in thinking and many missing pieces of information that I previously missed, due to the admittedly enjoyable story related. She trumpets her own good sense for making an about-face from Maoism to China-criticism, but comes out appearing as naive in discussing the latter view as the former.She should definitely stick to meeting vapid people for lunch, as her current assignment dictates.
It is one of these books that makes the reader sit up and listen to the atrocities that befell the Chinese people of the late 20th century. The conditions that she described are both accurate and heart rending in some cases. The way that she wrote about the conditions of life - esp, the point about being asked what type of toilet she required in the middle of a restaurant!! - it is written with such emotion - a must buy for anyone interested with China in any shape or form.
Wong's memoir of her parent's native land during the latter days of the Cultural Revolution ranks with "Wild Swans" and "In Search of History" as the best personal narratives about China. Readers follow Wong's transition from naïve Canadian, to disillusioned realist, to returned journalist in Beijing in 1989. I read this book shortly after returning from China, and found Wong's analysis and readable prose completely on target.
What I most enjoyed about Red China Blues is Wong's astute look at herself -- her developing disillusion with the government of the PRC and her active search for both the good and the bad in the country, the ideology and the people of her second home. Another strength here is the first-hand account of the massacre at Tien'an Men Square; Wong watched it from a hotel balcony, and was sometimes right in the line of fire. But this book: it's a real eye opener.
