On the eve of Chinaâs Cultural Revolution and her sixteenth birthday, Mei dreams of becoming a model revolutionary. When the Communist Party recruits girls for a mysterious duty in the capital, she seizes the opportunity to escape her impoverished village. It is only when Mei arrives at the Chairmanâs opulent residenceâa forbidden city unto itselfâthat she learns that the girlsâ job is to dance with the Party elites. Ambitious and whip-smart, Mei beelines toward the Chairman.Â
Mei gradually separates herself from the other recruits to become the Chairmanâs confidanteâand paramour. While he fends off political rivals, Mei faces down schemers from the dance troupe who will stop at nothing to take her place and the Chairmanâs imperious wife, who has secret plans of her own.Â
When the Chairman finally gives Mei a political mission, she seizes it with fervor, but the brutality of this latest stage of the revolution makes her begin to doubt all the certainties she has held so dear.Â
Forbidden City is an epic yet intimate portrayal of one of the worldâs most powerful and least understood leaders during this extraordinarily turbulent period in modern Chinese history. Meiâs harrowing journey toward truth and disillusionment raises questions about power, manipulation, and belief, as seen through the eyes of a passionate teenage girl.
