This compelling book provides a meticulously documented account of
officially sanctioned cannibalism in the southwestern province of
Guangxi during the Cultural Revolution. Drawing on his unique
access to local archives of the Chinese Communist Party and on
extensive interviews with party officials, the victims' relatives,
and the murderers themselves, Zheng Yi paints a disturbing picture
of official compliance in the systematic killing and
cannibalization of individuals in the name of political revolution
and class struggle."The treasure-trove of evidence Zheng Yi has
unearthed offers unprecedented insights into the way the
internecine, factional struggles of the Cultural Revolution reached
a horrifying level of insanity and frenzy among the ethnic Zhuang
people of Guangxi. Profoundly moving, acutely observed, and
unflinchingly graphic, Scarlet Memorial is a shining example of a
genre of investigative reporting that courageously and
independently records obscure and officially censored historical
events, revealing hidden dimensions of modern Chinese history and
politics.
