In 1949, a newly established People’s Republic of China, led by the Chinese Communist Party and Mao Zedong, created a system aimed at controlling every facet of society. Rong Zhang was educated in their schools, fed their propaganda but eventually took flight and sought her own path forward.

In her own words, Rong tells her story. As the daughter of physicians, she saw her family lauded with praise in the beginning, then bombarded with threats, looting, and traumatic public denouncements for their economic and social standing. Rong herself, as well as her siblings and millions of Chinese youths, were forced into re-education, witnessing and experiencing horrific events and enduring unimaginable hardship.

Rong’s story is a reminder of China’s past, the atrocities committed, and a testament to those who fought for the right to education, freedom, life, and preserving art in all its forms.

A great versatile watch
Color: black/black
This is a great watch. I wear a Rolex GMT daily, but wear this at the gym, at fencing practice, holding power equipment , hammering and other activities. Runs fine, keeps good time, easy to read. Like the 24 hour dial. Sometimes I just wear it because I like it.

Good watch, not incredibly durable for everyday use.
Color: silver/brown
A nice watch, the date feature and the glow in the dark were quite helpful. It lasted be about 6 months of regular use. Unfortunately it stopped keeping time (intermittent freezing) and the second hand fell off, I'm kinda disappointed with its durability. Unsure of the initial cause, I guess I hit something with my wrist.
