Life in twentieth-century Communist China is not easy for its people who must navigate through hardships, oppression, and many other complex challenges. Within five original screenplays, Greg Gang CHEN shares insights into the lives of diverse characters demonstrating the resilience of the human spirit, despite the obstacles standing in the way: After intellectuals settle in a village in the late sixties, a school is established in a Buddhist temple. As locals and new arrivals recite Chairman Mao's articles, Red Guards demolish churches and persecute the intellectuals. When a graduate from Imperial College London is blackmailed as a spy from the UK, he continues pursuing membership in the Communist Party. Without the benefit of sex education, homosexual characters from China who live in the UK and US search for acceptance. A Chinese KGB questions his beliefs after he is assigned to translate news by BBC and ABC the day after Jun 4th 1989. As China attempts to eliminate landowners, the teenaged son of a landowner survives capital punishment, but not for long. A Red Madrasa School Under Mao & Other Four Film Scripts On Contemporary History Of China presents five screenplays that highlight the latest history of China in the areas of Cultural Revolution, persecution, Chinese KGB, and the gay community.
