During the 1960s, the Chinese government dispatched city high school leavers to work on farms and plantations in the countryside. When they were permitted to go home more than a decade later, their spouses and children were forced to remain in the countryside. Ye Xin’s book tells the story of some of those left behind, who decide to travel to Shanghai in search of their birth parents. Join Ye to unravel one of the untold stories of China during the Cultural Revolution.
