In 1949, a newly established People’s Republic of China, led by the Chinese Communist Party and Mao Zedong, created a system aimed at controlling every facet of society. Rong Zhang was educated in their schools, fed their propaganda but eventually took flight and sought her own path forward.

In her own words, Rong tells her story. As the daughter of physicians, she saw her family lauded with praise in the beginning, then bombarded with threats, looting, and traumatic public denouncements for their economic and social standing. Rong herself, as well as her siblings and millions of Chinese youths, were forced into re-education, witnessing and experiencing horrific events and enduring unimaginable hardship.

Rong’s story is a reminder of China’s past, the atrocities committed, and a testament to those who fought for the right to education, freedom, life, and preserving art in all its forms.

My son got this for prom.. follow the size chart given because it is accurate. It’s very dapper and for the price way cheaper than renting something. It doesn’t look cheap at all. Very classy

Don't trust AI it lies
Size: Large, Color: Red
The AI recommended the size based on my purchases and I tell you what AI was wrong because the pants didn't fit. Everything else did not.

Excellent Suit for the Money. Great, rich details.
Size: X-Large, Color: Black
This is a stunning piece of clothing. The material for the vests and pants are so luxurious and make it look like you spent a lot of money. Great versatility and thick material of great quality. The material is made of a rich fabric that feels subtle and gentle, but with the patterns showing well. It fits well and allows for movement. Whether you are looking for a wedding suit, or something to wear to a gala or bow-tie event, this is it.
