Intoxicated with one another, Aijun and Hongmei hurl themselves into their town's revolutionary struggle. Spending their days and nights stamping out feudalism, writing pamphlets and organising rallies, they become inseparable: they are the engines of history.

'Fascinating... This tale of an illicit tryst during the Cultural Revolution is a stinging satire' The Times
