What is Red Azalea : A Memoir about?

<p><P><i>Red Azalea</i> is Anchee Min&#8217;s celebrated memoir of growing up in the last years of Mao&#8217;s China. As a child, she was asked to publicly humiliate a teacher; at seventeen, she was sent to work at a labor collective. Forbidden to speak, dress, read, write, or love as she pleased, she found a lifeline in a secret love affair with another woman. Miraculously selected for the film version of one of Madame Mao&#8217;s political operas, Min&#8217;s life changed overnight. Then Chairman Mao suddenly died, taking with him an entire world. A revelatory and disturbing portrait of China, Anchee Min&#8217;s memoir is exceptional for its candor, its poignancy, its courage, and for its prose which <i>Newsweek</i> calls &quot;as delicate and evocative as a traditional Chinese brush painting.&quot;</p>
