Assignment
Length: 3 to 4 pages.
It is 1978. Mao has been dead for two years, and you have passed the examination to become a member of an elite university class in Historical Documentation. Your first assignment is to collect two oral histories that provide different angles on the topic: "What is your understanding of the Chinese revolution and how has it changed your life? Which national events and campaigns from 1949 to 1976 affected you the most? What are the main achievements and problems of the Mao years?"
You pick TWO of the following three people to interview (your choice):
a. Li (b. 1925), a Beijing writer. Labeled a Rightist in late 1957 for publishing critical stories and essays. Sent to labor with the peasants from 1958-1961. He spent much of the 1960s and 1970s under a political cloud. His Rightist "hat" has just been removed in 1978 and his position in the Writer's Union restored.
b. Zhang (b. 1934), a villager from Shaanxi. Activist. Broke off her arranged engagement at 17. Later married a fellow Peasant Association member. Became a champion cotton grower and labor model in the late 1950s. Five children.
c. Chen (b. 1952), a former Shanghai middle school Red Guard. Spent nine years (1968-1977) in Anhui, in an area where the Great Leap Forward had caused a famine in 1959. Now at university, where some classmates have spent years in the countryside, while others were Shanghai factory workers before testing into university.
