The book Red Azalea was great because the plot was exciting, clear and mind bowling. There is no doubt that the Cultural Revolution was a big disaster of China during 1964-1976. We learned the deep affection of the people’s minds by reading Red Azalea. The most favorite part of this book is the death of Little Green, because this is a small high tide in shocking of the whole story that almost let Anchee and Yan to collapse. The death of Little Green gives me the perspective on how society was, and I was so impressed on how cruel people could be at that time. In addition, the ending was pretty boring since we thought there would be some emotional events to end the book. However, before going to America, Anchee’s life had been so tasteless since she worked in the film studio for the six years. Moreover, the exciting scene was that the sexual description between Yan and Leopard, and also the affair of Anchee’s and the supervisor. Finally, if you asked me to talk about the book, I would say that the book is wonderful, and is worth reading if you’re in ESL 100.
