Kundenrezensionen
Nien Cheng writes about spending years in solitary confinement during the Cultural Revolution in China. She could most likely end her suffering by signing a confession that she is a "running dog of the imperialists!" But she has dignity, and she knows that she has done nothing wrong. As an American, I am granted freedom of speech at a level that the people in the book probably could not have dreamed of. I also believe that Nien Cheng has a level of endurance that I could not muster. The title of the seminar I had to read this for was "Chance vs. Choice," and though, sadly, we never actually TALKED about chance and choice in the seminar, I can see the two themes thoughout this entire book. Nien Cheng had always had a choice, whether it seemed like it or not, and she continually chose to exercise that right to chose.
Nien Cheng suffered enormously, and her book recounts her persecution in amazing detail. She had more than 6 years to recall every degrading and unjust incident, and it is remarkably all here. Yet it is never for a moment boring or tedious. She writes beautifully and appreciatively of the tasty snack her cook gave her the day she went to be screamed at by an auditorium full of Red Guards. It is this extraordinary attention to simple goodness and the author's triumphant but humble survival that sets this book apart.
Someone said to me, "oh, I could never buy that book. I couldn't stand the pain." My friend was mistaken. Nien Cheng's book is about pain, but not defeat. To be sure, it is about the hellish consequences of a society gone mad, but her own clear conscience reigns supreme.
It is a quite beautiful story of the triumph of the human spirit. Outstanding.
One thing that really impressed me was the fact that when I wrote to her expressing my admiration, she hand wrote a beautiful letter in return. That was ten years ago and the letter still sits in her book on my shelf.
