«Rote Azalee: Der Roman meines Lebens» is the autobiography of Anchee Min, published by FISCHER Taschenbuch in paperback (345 pages, in German).
Anchee Min recalls her childhood and youth in Mao's China: as a girl she must humiliate a teacher and at seventeen is sent to a labor collective. In a regime that forbids personal freedom, her secret relationship with another woman is a refuge. Her unexpected selection for a political opera by Madame Mao will change her life.
Work originally published in English as «Red Azalea» in 1993; the German translation is by Werner Peterich.
For readers of memoirs and Chinese history; a personal testimony about life under Mao's regime and the Cultural Revolution.
Anchee Min is a Chinese-American author who lives in San Francisco and Shanghai. Min has published two memoirs, Red Azalea and The Cooked Seed: A Memoir, and six historical novels. Her fiction emphasizes strong female characters, such as Jiang Qing, the wife of chairman Mao Zedong, and Empress Dowager Cixi, the last ruling empress of China.
