...FIRST TRAGEDY struck in his childhood, when his mother criticized a superior in a mandatory criticism session during the Hundred Flowers movement. Then that movement became the Anti-Rightist movement, and her superior got revenge by labelling her a rightist, Liang's father divorced her and the children shunned her to avoid being politically "questionable", but the party which claimed to transcend family ties would not ignore them.

"This is a rough transcript of Podyapolsky's interrogation by his superior in the department, who is pressuring him to renounce his signature on a petition supporting a fellow scientist, who has been imprisoned in a mental hospital for expressing dissident opinions. The Director's actual words give unusually exact insights into the mind of a faithful Party mouthpiece...
