"Red Kite, Blue Kite" by Ji Li Jiang tells the tender story of a young boy named Tai Shan and his father during the tumultuous times of the Cultural Revolution in China. Despite the oppressive atmosphere, Tai Shan cherishes his close bond with his father, who encourages him to fly kites, symbolizing freedom and hope. However, the family faces challenges as the father's anti-government stance puts him at risk. As Tai Shan navigates the complexities of loyalty, love, and loss, the kites serve as a poignant reminder of the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity.
