I just recommend the book 'Wild Swam' to you. It is very worth reading.
Maybe it gives some hints of why the Chinese society has become like this.
It is written by a female chinese author who has experienced the Cultural
Revolution. The GD should have read this book. What they are doing right now
is just what was done by Mao Ze Dong 40 years ago.

Yes, I have read Wild Swans myself, and I thought it described very
well the living conditions in China in the past. I know that the
Chinese have had a terrible life time throughout history, and I am very
happy for them that they are now beginning to enjoy freedom and
economic prosperity. The writer has also written another book, a
biography of Mao. This book has been well received in the West, but
none of my Chinese friends say that it is a good book. They tell me
that it is a personal propaganda against Mao by the author. Since I am
not Chinese, I don't think I will bother reading it.

This book was number 1 on the Best Sellers list, and you can get it
from any bookshop in the U.S. Your IP address shows that you are
posting from NYC, so you can go to the library and borrow it from
there, but be sure to ask for "Wild Swans" by Jung Chang, otherwise you
might get a book by other authors, one of whom is Hans Christian
Andersen.
