Red scarf girl - After the book

After reading Red scarf girl I was very surprised at how the book ended; it was an amazing book I would recommend to people how are looking for an interesting, touching book to read. The book is wrote by Ji-li Jiang a girl who was born in 1954 but he story begins in 1966 when she’s 12 at the beginning of the Cultural Revolution. In this Revolution Chairman Mao changes most things about the Asian culture, you were looked down upon is you were a rightist or landlord. And in Ji-Li case she finds out that her fathers, father or her grandpa was a landlord and her whole class status was changed she was a scholar at her school, she never got in trouble, and she always did extra work to be the best she could be. But she wanted to become a Red guard; Red guards were like cultural police they made sure nothing was against everything Chairman Mao put into order but as we know her class status put her into a position where she could not become a Red guard and therefore her home was raided twice, her father taken from her and he was beat, and they were looked upon differently. But you’ll have to read the rest of the story yourself if you want to know what happens in the rest of the story it is very touching.
