About the book
A visceral memoir by Ji Xianlin about his years in the "cowshed" — a forced labor camp during the Chinese Cultural Revolution. The author, a renowned scholar and sinologist, recounts with clarity and dignity the humiliations, slave labor and ideological persecution he endured for being an intellectual in a regime that rejected Western education.
A crucial historical testimony that sheds light on one of the darkest periods of modern China, written from the perspective of someone who survived to tell the story with lucidity and without resentment.
