Liked this a bit more than Red Scarf Girl, but both are excellent. Jan 18, Patricia rated it really liked it. While still reading this book, I am struck by the perspective of the young girl as she tries to figure out what is going on around her. Like many young girls, girls who I teach, she is mostly focussed on how the world is treating her: she is being bullied at school, people are disappearing around her, she can't have the things she wants, her parents are whispering. Kids I work with are becoming more and more aware of their surroundings, and I hope they are questioning the way things are. This bo While still reading this book, I am struck by the perspective of the young girl as she tries to figure out what is going on around her. This book lends credence to the thoughts of the young girl, making her out to be a thinker, one who reflects upon the actions and words of those around her. She is capable of learning from her environment and times. I don't know a lot about the Chinese Cultural Revolution aside from the limited stories I remember of young people wanting what we have in America. In the 70s I was having my own struggles "growing up" in a place where people who I thought were good did mean and evil things like Comrade Li. Like Ling, my world as I had envisioned it was deteriorating, not to the extent of her world in China, but nonetheless. Her parents did what I think is the natural thing to do in any crisis: shelter the children, keep on doing what they think is best, take a low key stance, look to the future and what might be listening to Voice of America, practicing English. Compestine shows how complicated a Cultural Revolution is as she depicts the way political unrest affects the daily lives of people, in this case the doctors who are a part of the "bourgeois". Since Compestine wrote this book based on her experiences growing up during the Cultural Revolution I feel that as the insider she gives a realistic picture of how a young girl growing into adolescence would think and act. I was wondering if it wasn't a bit farfetched to have Ling face and fight the Young Pioneers physically, but overall she stuck to simple straightforward language that didn't skirt around the issues. Using the death of Mao and the following civil war like circumstance seemed like a reasonable way to end the story and bring the family together. I guess the part that bothers me, and this is the human aspect of the historical context, is that the revolutionaries wanted the bourgeois to give up their lavish life-style and work in the shoes of the peasant class. However, once in power the revolutionaries BECOME the bourgeois, adding cruel punishments and tortures to their treatment of their perceived enemies. Her attention to the details of food, also come from the perspective of someone who knows about food.

I have been looking for books for our literature curriculum written by and based on Asian cultures. Unfortunately, it isnt terribly easy to find something that both fits those categories and is a worthwhile book to read in class with middle school students. Oh, there are books out there, but so many of them are written by American or European authors about Asian cultures.

Those of us who have Asian roots know well that systemic discrimination against Asians in the U.S. is by no means a new phenomenon.
