Jung Chang Quotes

All I Cared About Then Was Catching A Glimpse Of Chairman Mao. I Turned My Eyes Quickly Away From Liu To The Front Of The Motorcade. I Spotted Mao's Stalwart Back, His Right Arm Steadily Waving. In An Instant, He Had Disappeared. My Heart Sank. Was That All I Would See Of Chairman Mao? Only A Fleeting Glimpse Of His Back? The Sun Seemed Suddenly To Have Turned Gray. All Around Me The Red Guards Were Making A Huge Din. The Girl Standing Next To Me Had Just Pierced The Index Finger Of Her Right Hand And Was Squeezing Blood Out Of It To Write Something On A Neatly Folded Handkerchief. I Knew Exactly The Words She Was Going To Use. It Had Been Done Many Times By Other Red Guards And Had Been Publicized Ad Nauseam: "I Am The Happiest Person In The World Today. I Have Seen Our Great Leader Chairman Mao!" Watching Her, My Despair Grew. Life Seemed Pointless. A Thought Flickered Into My Mind: Perhaps I Should Commit Suicide?
