Dear Jin Jingzhi,
I found your interview to be quite interesting due to myself reading an actual account of a person who actually lived through an historical event such as Mao's rise to power as well as the Cultural Revolution and not just reading a history book. I think you still should've have moved out of China for the well being of your husband due to the fact many immigrants move into a new country for the similar reasons like yours and they don't have any family in that country. However I can understand your argument about not leaving the country due to you having five children because it would have been extremely difficult to handle them when going from one country to another.
I do have several questions regarding your thoughts on your life during the period in China's history that you lived through as well as questions about the events in your life that you mentioned.
• Do you think Mao Zedong deserves to be recognized as such a heroic figure despite the horrible things that he did that you experienced first hand?
• What were your feelings when your husband was sent to prison?
• Due to the Red Guards being made mostly of youth, did your children ever want or asked to join the Red Guards?
As I said before, your interview was very interesting. However I was wondering what your emotions were on these things such as your husband going to prison and when the Red Guards were accusing you as well as your husband of being anti-revolutionary?
Sincerely,
Carrick Esquivel
