Abstract

Abstract : Xu Zechen's harrowing tale "Voice Change" depicts the tumultuous world of the Cultural Revolution from the vantage point of a young pupil of the kind village teacher, Old He. Our young narrator, still waiting for his voice to change, is stunned to find out that not only has the revered teacher been singled out for a violent public "struggle session, " but that he is also accused of indecency for rescuing and educating the village's young autistic woman.
