之光新書《紅黑時代》講述文革故事:兩位女性的掙扎、成長和反思

English: Nancy Lee’s novel "The Era of Red and Black" follows two young women coming of age during the Cultural Revolution. Labeled as members of the Five Black Categories, they navigate a decade of turmoil and repression. Through vivid details and unadorned prose, the novel portrays their struggles, conflicts, wounds, and inevitable growth, culminating in an incomplete reconciliation with their country and times. Lee explores the root causes of the era's absurdities, examining the fate of a generation and raising profound questions about the decisions and choices of both the nation and its people.
