Red Angels’ Cage, Devils’ Mighty Debts, by Jiangcheng

Across eight turbulent decades of Chinese history – from Land Reform and the Great Famine to the Anti-Rightist Campaign, the Cultural Revolution, and the shadow of Tiananmen – Wang Zhaoyang, a senior leader within the Chinese Communist Party, was convinced he was building a just new China. But when the revolution began to consume his friends, ordinary Chinese, and finally his own family, he realizes his worshipped Party is disguised as red angels to build a cage, in which the devils now demand debts no honest man can ever repay.

A searing, intimate portrait of belief, betrayal, and the unbearable weight of complicity.
