Summary
In The Wings of Heaven, Li Bifeng tells the dramatic story of a Chinese family who perished in the turmoil of the Cultural Revolution. Zhang Fafu is unjustly imprisoned. His wife kills herself after her daughter denounced her to Communist Party officials. The daughter dies on the "Sun Mountain" in one of the most terrible battles of the Cultural Revolution, in which mainly young people and young adults took part. The novel not only illuminates the brutality and absurdity of the Cultural Revolution, but also dissects the very private interests of those involved, who were often the driving force behind the revolution. Li Bifeng's particular focus is on the sexual exploitation of women within the power apparatus, a topic that has mostly been neglected in the previous analysis of the Cultural Revolution
