This novel is actually a historical memoir written by Ji-Li about her life during the Chinese Cultural Revolution and was recommended to me by my mentor teacher. It isn’t about the big picture of the revolution, but instead focuses on her and her family during this time of their lives. It is a great read that provides a lot of opportunity to look at another country’s culture through a historic and literary lens. Definitely recommended. Research is showing that people these days are already forgetting about super important things like World War Two and the Holocaust (some 50% of Europeans don't know that 6 million Jews were killed in the Holocaust) and the Cultural Revolution is also being forgotten, too. If we don't learn about these types of horrors, history is bound to repeat again... sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

En 1966 Jili Jiang, una estudiante sobresaliente, tiene doce anos y un futuro prometedor en la China maoista. Pero nada volvera a ser lo mismo para ella tras el advenimiento de la Revolucion Cultural, cuando los criterios personales se convierten en un crimen y un pasado familiar dudoso supone ser perseguido. Durante los siguientes anos, Jili y su familia son humillados e injuriados por sus amigos y vecinos, y viven bajo el continuo temor de ser arrestados.En medio de la angustia y el sufrimiento, Jili tiene que enfrentarse a la decision mas trascendental de su vida: traicionar al Partido Comunista o ser desleal con su propia familia.Narrada con sencillez y candor, La chica del panuelo rojo es un testimonio equiparable a las memorias que Anna Frank escribio ocultandose del terror nazi: un nuevo recuerdo de una infancia subyugada.

The author grew up in Shanghai, but moved to the United States when she was thirty. She wrote this book in the hopes of helping Americans understand China a bit more. Because the audience is for middle school or high school students, the book is written simply, but it remains a powerful story. I was surprised at the extent to which elementary aged students were embroiled in the work of the revolution (writing propaganda or da-zi-bao posters, participating in study groups and struggle sessions, and working on rural farms during the summer). It was interesting seeing Ji-li evolve from being a unquestioning follower as she experiences more of life during the Cultural Revolution. It was also interesting to see traces of her family's Muslim faith appear during times of stress. Her afterward provides updates on the fates of several of her schoolfriends, as well as her family, after the book ends in 1968. There is a helpful glossary as well. ( )
