After gaining a reputation as a brutal abuser of the local herd owners and nomads, Ma Bo casually criticized a Party Leader. Denounced as an active counterrevolutionary and betrayed by his friends, the idealistic youth was brutally beaten and imprisoned.Charged with passion, never doctrinaire, Blood Red Sunset is a startlingly vivid and personal narrative that opens a window on the psyche of totalitarian excess that no other work of history can provide. This is a tale of ideology and disillusionment, a powerful work of political and literary importance.A deceptively straightforward story carried forward by deep currents of insight.-The Washington PostA genuine, no-holds-barred, unadorned piece of writingechoing the realities of contemporary China.-Liu Binyan, The New York Times Book Review\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51666099634464,"sku":"NEW0140159428","price":21.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/61mqi0eCA8L.jpg?v=1778921026","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/blood-red-sunset-a-memoir-of-the-chinese-cultural-revolution-0140159428","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
