The first two parts of this book were phenomenal. They felt like a narrative story although it is about Min’s life. The third part lost me a little as it was repetitive and a little boring.

Red Azalea is the incredible memoir of a young girl during the final years of the Maoist regime. I can't even begin to summarize her fascinating (yet painful and haunting) story. I read this a few years ago and highly recommend it.

Fairly interesting story like many other 20th century Chinese autobiographies. I couldn't digest the staccato writing style though.
