The Book:My wiki is about the book Snow Falling in Spring by Moying Li. Moying Li is only twelve years old during the Cultural Revolution. Studying at a language school in Beijing, she is intended to have a great future ahead of her, but everything changes when student Red Guards start to attack and put down her loved ones. Many American's do not realize the struggles the Chinese are faced with, for example the Great Leap Forward, starvation, and the Cultural Revolution. In the book Snow Falling in Spring, readers will not only learn about the hardships that existed in China during this time but will also get a closer look at how they affected Chinese familys like Moyings.
Back of the book Summary:Moying Li was twelve years old when the Cultural Revolution sweeps across China. Studying at a prestigious language school in Beijing, she seems destined for a promise future. But everything changes when Red Guards orchestrate brutal assaults, violent public humiliations, and forced confesseions throughout the country. After watching her headmaster beaten in public, Moying flees school for the safety of home, only to witness her beloved grandmother denounced, her home ransacked, and her father taken away-along with his precious books. Struggling to make sense of her crumbling world, she finds sanctuary in literature. But with many schools shut down and most books forbidding, how can she keep her passion for learning alive. This summary was taken from the back of the book Snow Falling in Spring's Cover.^^
