Reviews

[Humbledaisy · Rating 3 out of 5]

An overstuffed Chinese military officer is in charge of returning a female recruit to her home town when her army physical shows her to not be a virgin (ie. Her hymen is not intact.) despite the recruit’s protestations of innocence, her family insists the army must be right and she is lying. She commits suicide in a horrible way, asking her family for justice. After the body is examined, she indeed still has an intact hymen and the officer has to figure out how this mistake happened.

Although this is well written - all the details are told in a believable way - the main character is a horrible man. He is certain he is correct and only wants to take the trip as a way to look at the famous scenery. He hides his responsibility under his military orders - very much a story of the Cultural Revolution.
