A Day In
The Life…
By Jessica
Russo
I woke up and got dressed. I am getting ready for school. As I walk out of the door, I see a poster of
a Da-zi-bau. A Da-zi-bau is a poster
that says hateful things on it. In my
school there are both boys and girls. In
school we study from Mau’s little red book.
The Little Red Book is Mau’s quotes and ideas and he wants people to
learn about his thoughts and ideas only.
Kids like me who were a part of the cultural revolution had to wear
uniforms. The people who weren’t part of
the cultural revolution didn’t have to wear uniforms. They had to be careful that they didn’t wear
too skinny jeans or clothes made of silk because those are four olds.
My house is very simple because we don’t
have a lot of money. Our house has to be
simple because when the Red Guards come to search our house they can’t be able
to see any four olds. My parents used to
farm but now that the cultural revolution started Chairman Mau wants people to
be businessmen. Chairman Mau rationed
food during the Cultural Revolution.
There was not a lot to go around.
