The coldest winter in Peking: A novel from inside China ReviewThis documentary novel explains the 'Tiananmen' incidents of 1976. They were not less than a power struggle between the partisans of Mao Zedong and his Prime Minister Zhu En Lai, where the latter were beaten. This struggle continued with the `Gang of Four', whose members were in the end annihilated themselves. The Chinese people didn't want a new Cultural Revolution.
This book gave already an excellent portrait of the real Mao: `He transformed a popular democratic regime into a fascist dictatorship. He assembles the youth for a Cultural Revolution in order to destroy all those in the Party, in the government, in the army who disposed of a few parcels of power and who stood in his way to wield absolute power.'
The author stresses the deep chasm between a wealthy and cynical bureaucracy and the innocent proletarians completely indoctrinated and educated with slogans.
This book is successful as a `human document', but less so as a novel. The `reality' part is excellent, the `fiction' part only average.
Highly recommended, and certainly for sinologists.
