Fragmented memories and screening nostalgia for the Cultural Revolution /

Meng, Jing,

Fragmented memories and screening nostalgia for the Cultural Revolution / Jing Meng. - Hong Kong : Hong Kong University Press, 2021. - 1 online resource (176 pages) : illustrations (black and white).

This title asserts that films and TV dramas about the Cultural Revolution made after China's accession to the WTO in 2001 tend to represent personal memories in a markedly sentimental, nostalgic, and fragmented manner. This new trend is a significant departure from earlier films about the subject, which are generally interpreted as national allegories, not private expressions of grief, regret or other personal feelings.
