Son of the Revoluiont-Brett

I haven't read all that far into the book so far, but it is already proving to be quite interesting. The sheer influence of the Communist party is really amazing. It was very surprising to hear that one of Liang's first words was Mao. At the learning center kids were taught how to write Mao before there own name, and then moved on to, "Chairman Mao is our Great Saving Star," "We are Chairman Mao's good little children," "The Communist party is like the sun," and so on. It is also quite interesting to hear the perfection the party demanded and the egotistical way the party viewed itself. Liang's mom was punished for stating three criticisms even after being asked if she had any. So far this book has been quite interesting and I am anxioius to read further into the book and learn more about the view of a citizen under a communist government.
