In Tempered in the Revolutionary Furnace, Yihong Pan tells her
personal story, and that of her generation of urban middle school
graduates sent to the countryside during China's Rustication
Movement. Based on interviews, reminiscences, diaries, letters, and
newspaper accounts, the work examines the varied, and often
perplexing, experiences of the seventeen million Chinese students
sent to work in the countryside between 1953 and 1980. Rich in
human drama, Pan's book illustrates how life in the countryside
transformed the children of Mao from innocent, ignorant, yet often
passionate, believers in the Communist Party into independent
adults. Those same adults would lead the nationwide protests in the
winter of 1978-79 that forced the government to abandon its policy
of rustication. Richly textured, this work successfully blends
biography with a wealth of historical insight to bring to life the
trials of a generation, and to offer Chinese studies scholars a
fascinating window into Mao Zedong's China.
