Summary note

This evocative narrative draws us into the inner life of a young Chinese peasant girl, May-ping, and her first glimmerings of youthful love and idealism under the Maoist regime in China.

To her surprise, urban snobbery and ""student thought-spying"" at university make it essential for her to hide her
