Inside Red China And Now Most Don't Know There Was Any Other China
A British author reports on Ming Hung Middle School outside Shanghai where 1,900 pupils, born since the Red Revolution, live in crowded rooms. Classes emphasize Marxism Leninism, morale, and productive labor. Students study political subjects, militia training, and face a state-planned career path. The author notes limited freedom, strong public opinion norms, and a generally not-joyful but hopeful outlook in youth under reconstruction. The piece also covers school life, dormitory conditions, and the role of the state in employment after graduation.
