A Comrade lost and found : A Beijing story

In the early 1970's, at the height of the Chinese Cultural Revolution, Jan Wong traveled from her home in Canada to become one of two westerners at Beijing University. A starry-eyed Maoist at the time, Jan Wong turned in a fellow student, Yin Luoyi, for wanting to move to the United States. Immediately Yin disappeared. Thirty-three years later, Jan Wong traveled again to Beijing to try to find Yin and ease her troubled conscience. As she traces her way from one former comrade to the next, she unearths not only the fate of the woman she betrayed but a web that mirrors the strange and dramatic journey of contemporary China.
