Well... complex feelings about this one. I got a little lost in the weeds, but the story behind them was great. Not sure how much of that to lay on the translation vs. the original text.
Side note: worth a read for the perspectives on the Cultural Revolution alone, imo. Ken Liu and the editors of the American edition did a phenomenal job putting everything into context in the American edition.
