Balzac and the Little Chinese Seamstress by Dai Sijie
The novella, Balzac and the Little Chinese Seamstress, Dai Sijie presents teenage students, who taste all that is forbidden in a 're-education' camp in the remote hills of China during the Chinese cultural revolution of the 1970's: music, literature, love, and freedom. Dai Sijie writes this beautiful tale as both a novella and a screenplay. Placing the intensive longing for education in a communist environment where knowledge was prohibited, he illustrates through the use of iconic realism that creativity and the hunger for knowledge of self and the world perseveres within the human spirit.
