This firsthand account of one young girl's experience of the Cultural Revolution is engrossing and simply but beautifully written. An excellent introduction to understanding an individual's experience of this time period. Esta reseña ha sido escrita por los Primeros Reseñadores de LibraryThing. I wasn't able to put this book down. The events are well-depicted and at times, simply horrifying. While this was definitely written to a young adult audience, it is a book that anyone with an interest in history and the struggle to live in a hostile environment would enjoy. At times I thought the narration was choppy and the way in which time goes by somewhat vague, but it wasn't enough to lose my attention. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

"Number Four will have a difficult life."--these are the words that were uttered upon Ting-xing Ye's birth. Soon this prophecy would prove only too true. This is the true story of the fourth child in a family torn apart by China's Cultural Revolution. After the death of both of her parents, Ting-xing and her siblings endured brutal Red Guard attacks on their schools and even in their home. At the age of sixteen, Ting-xing was exiled to a prison farm far from the world she knew. How she struggled through years of constant terror while keeping her spirit intact is at the heart of this story. Haunting and inspiring, Ting-xing Ye's personal account of this horrific period in history is one that no reader will soon forget.--From publisher description.

This book was very eye-opening. I really connected with Ting-xing Ye, and reading this account of her life was heartbreaking. I can't imagine how it must have been for her to be ripped from the only family she had, so soon after the death of her mother, and plunged into a world she knew very little of; all the while being tormented and persecuted for a class title that was a stain on her life.
The book itself was written well. It was a fairly quick read and I enjoyed it very much. The only thing I felt was missing was more information at the end about what happened to her family, and where they all ended up after everything. ( )
