Life and Death in Shanghai by Nien Cheng
A first-hand account of China's cultural revolution.
During China’s Cultural Revolution, Nien Cheng, a fluent English speaker who worked for Shell in Shanghai, was accused of being a British spy and locked up in solitary confinement for six and a half years. When she was finally released – to face years of further harassment and intimidation – she learned that her daughter had been beaten to death by over-zealous Red Guards. This extraordinary book is the story of her struggle to survive against the odds, defying her brutal interrogators and steadfastly maintaining her innocence.
