| Beschreibung | Dr. Ning Zhang’s lecture presents her ongoing book project, a pioneering exploration of the experiences of Chinese volunteers who joined the Burmese Communist Party’s insurgency between 1968 and 1989. Most of these volunteers were former sent-down youths who, after China’s withdrawal in 1973, returned home to a society largely unaware of their sacrifices. Although China’s involvement in the Burmese Civil War has long been an open secret, it remains officially unacknowledged. Drawing on sixty in-depth interviews and a rich archive of personal documents, Dr. Zhang’s research illuminates the human dimensions of “international communism” and its moral and emotional resonances. |
