As a young man he believes truth and decency mattered, only to learn that preserving the Chairman's legacy mattered more. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Lu's story reads like Shakespearean drama, peppered with defiance, love and betrayal. His steadfast refusal to acquiesce comes to a head, but not an end, with his infamous defacing of Mao's portrait during the 1989 protests in Tiananmen Square.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Denise Chong\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0307355802\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780307355805\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Vintage Books Canada\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/30\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.10w x 0.80d","brand":"Denise Chong","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44076010209535,"sku":"9780307355805","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d7c62190-6b4f-437c-9124-be971d2c6dda.jpg?v=1685462671","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/egg-on-mao-denise-chong-9780307355805","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
