| Summary: | "As a young man, Zheng was a wild boy; he'd rather spend his time gambling and dancing than studying. But his exuberant way of life came to an end when, during the Cultural Revolution, he was charged with counter-revolutionary behavior and sent to prison. Now, he lives in the boarding house of Shuanglin Town, and is a silent witness to the last chapter of his own lonely life. This intimate and respecful portrail of a striking 83-year-old Chinese citizen offers us an inside view into the way China treats its seniors and gives us the opportunity to better understand China's contemporary history. But above all, it introduces us to a remarkable sensitive witness of last century's turmoils, as remembered by an old Chinaman."--Container. |
