The book begins when Ji-li Jiang was a 12 year old living in Shanghai, China. Ji-li was at the top of her class and the da-dui-zhang, or Student Council President, of her school. However, her father prevents her from auditioning for the Central Liberation Army Arts Academy due to her poor class status. Her family is considered a "Black Family", because her grandfather was a landlord. Many people accuse Ji-li of her family's old ways, or "Four Olds". Ji-li must deal with the difficult choice between her educational future or her family. This book describes her experiences with the Cultural Revolution, including being betrayed by her closest friends, helping to destroy the Four Olds, attempting to become a Red Guard and the constant terror of arrest.
