520 No other narrative from within the corridors of power has
offered as frank and intimate an account of the making of
the modern Chinese nation as Ji Chaozhu's The Man on Mao's
Right. Having served Chairman Mao Zedong and the Communist
leadership for two decades, and having become a key figure
in China's foreign policy, Ji now provides an honest,
detailed account of the personalities and events that
shaped today's People's Republic.The youngest son of a
prosperous government official, nine-year-old Ji and his
family fled Japanese invaders in the late 1930s, escaping
to America. Warmly received by his new country, Ji
returned its embrace as he came of age in New York's East
Village and then attended Harvard University. But in 1950,
after years of enjoying a life of relative ease while his
countrymen suffered through war and civil strife, Ji felt
driven by patriotism to volunteer to serve China in its
conflict with his adoptive country in the Korean War.Ji's
mastery of the English language and American culture
launched his improbable career, eventually winning him the
role of English interpreter for China's two top leaders:
Premier Zhou Enlai and Party Chairman Mao Zedong. With a
unique blend of Chinese insight and American candor, Ji
paints insightful portraits of the architects of modern
China: the urbane, practical, and avuncular Zhou, the
conscience of the People's Republic; and the messianic,
charismatic Mao, student of China's ancient past-his
country's stern father figure.Ji is an eyewitness to
modern Chinese history, including the Great Leap Forward,
the Cultural Revolution, the Nixon summit, and numerous
momentous events in Tiananmen Square. As he became caught
up in political squabbles among radical factions, Ji's
past and charges against him of "incorrect" thinking
subjected him to scrutiny and suspicion. He was repeatedly
sent to a collective farm to be "reeducated" by the
peasants.After the Mao years, Ji moved on to hold top
diplomatic posts in the United States and the United
Kingdom and then served as under-secretary-general of the
United Nations. Today, he says, "The Chinese know America
better than the Americans know China. The risk is that we
misperceive each other." This highly accessible insider's
chronicle of a struggling people within a developing
powerhouse nation is also Ji Chaozhu's dramatic personal
story, certain to fascinate and enlighten Western
audiences.
