| Sumario: | A collection of stories on the Cultural Revolution in China. In the story, A Man-to-Be, a soldier who refuses to participate in a gang rape pays the consequences, while In Broad Daylight, a woman is punished for being a prostitute. The acclaimed poet Ha Jin was raised in China and emigrated to the United States after the Tiananmen Square massacre in 1989. In Under the Red Flag, he writes about loss and moral deterioration with the keen sense of a survivor. His stories examine life in the bleak rural town of Dismount Fort, where privacy is nonexistent and paranoia rules as neighbor turns against neighbor, husband turns against wife, state turns against individual, history turns against humanity. |
