Anchee Min was born and raised in Mao’s China. A staunch party supporter, she was awarded the lead role in a film to be made by Mao’s wife, Jiang Ching, but the death of Mao soon after caused the film to be cancelled. In 1984, Min emigrated to the United States and later wrote the bestselling biography Becoming Madame Mao. The poet and writer Duo Duo was born in Beijing in 1951 and now lives on the island of Hainan in southern China. After spending time in the United Kingdom, Canada and the Netherlands, he taught literature at Hainan University. He is considered one of the most outstanding poets to emerge from China since the Cultural Revolution. Stefan R. Landsberger (1955–2024) was a lecturer at the Institute of Chinese Studies at Leiden University, editor of the journal China Information, and owner of one of the world's largest private collections of Chinese propaganda posters. He published numerous works on Chinese propaganda and maintained an extensive website on this genre of political communication.
