(PRLeap.com) "The Shanghai Butterfly that Wouldn't Die," a new book by Rong Zhang, has been released by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc.A powerful new memoir by Rong Zhang, a primary care physician and clinical professor at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, offers a harrowing and deeply personal account of life under the early years of the People's Republic of China.
Established in 1949 under the leadership of Mao Zedong, the new regime implemented a system designed to control every facet of Chinese society. Zhang, the daughter of prominent physicians, provides a firsthand look at the volatility of this era. Her family transitioned from being lauded members of the medical community to targets of state-sponsored aggression, enduring looting, threats, and traumatic public denouncements due to their social standing.
The memoir details the "re-education" forced upon Zhang, her siblings, and millions of other youths. It serves as a stark reminder of the atrocities committed during this period and acts as a testament to those who fought to preserve their humanity, their right to education, and their passion for the arts amidst unimaginable hardship.
