16 editions published between 1998 and 2001 in Chinese and English and held by 230 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
1998 Chinese film directed by Joan Chen. This film is based on the historical fact that between 1967 and 1976, almost 8 million Chinese youths were `sent-down' to isolated regions of China during the Cultural Revolution to learn the skills and ideology of Mao's China. Many never returned home and this film imagines the fate of one girl sent to a training compound on the plains of Tibet. The story of Xiu Xiu begins as melancholy memory and changes into a tale of political betrayal of weight and gravity. Offair, SBS, 17/11/00, (95 min.)
