Waves of the Blue River : Survival and Triumph Through One of History's Greatest Crimes in China

By Li Mu

The impact of the Chinese Communist Revolution on the lives of millions of ordinary citizens is a topic that is often obfuscated by the censorship and the mirage of the recent economic development in China. In this intimate narrative, Li Mu rescues a Nation's forgotten history through his personal story. His journey started in an agricultural and fishing village in the country side of Guangdong where, targeted by the Chinese Communist Revolution during the 50s and 60s, his family was persecuted, defamed, tortured, and had their possessions confiscated. His father was executed and he was sent to labor camps. Through his struggle for survival, the author bore witness to one of the worst atrocities in history. He ultimately escaped as a refugee to Hong Kong in 1962, and in 1977 made a great leap into the unknown and emigrated to Brazil with his wife and children at the age of 44.
