Zhu Xiao-Mei, a famous pianist, tells the story of her life, as a young person Culteral During the Revolution and survivor of forced re-education, as has Struggling musician Who Suffers a late start, and a young adult Attempting to find her Place in the world while lacking the emotional stability of a normal childhood. A fascinating account. The translation by poet Ellen HInsey reads beautifully. This book has-been my first choice as a present for my music-loving friends.
