A Canadian writer travels with a group through Hong Kong to Canton and Shanghai, detailing heat, crowds, and the pervasive personality cult around Mao. She notes bureaucratic displays, communal living, and evolving views on revolution, gender roles, and the Cultural Revolution while meeting officials, interpreters, and locals. The journey ends with reflections that the revolution remains alive, yet portraits of Mao are diminishing.
