During the Cultural Revolution, Jan Wong studied in Beijing & reported a fellow student to the authorities. In 2005, she returned to China to find out what happened to the woman she betrayed. ” Chinese Whispers” tells her remarkable story. In 1972, Jan Wong became one of only two Westerners admitted to Beijing University at the height of the Cultural Revolution. One day, a student, Yin Luoyi, sought Jan`s assistance in going to the United States. Wong, then a starry-eyed Maoist from Montreal, was that most dangerous combination in the young
- ignorant, innocent & idealistic
- & she reported Yin to the authorities. Wong knew nothing of what ensued. Indeed, she completely forgot about her brief encounter with the young stranger until many years later. Now, thirty-three years on, Wong returns to Beijing to search for the woman who has haunted her conscience. She hopes to apologise, perhaps somehow to make amends. At the very least, she wants to find out whether Yin has survived. Preoccupied by the past, fascinated by China`s present & future, Jan Wong searches out old friends, foes & comrades in this half-familiar city, finally uncovering the truth about the woman she wronged. ” Chinese Whispers” tells a unique & unforgettable story of communism & capitalism, of guilt & atonement, of remembering & forgetting.
