He Zizhen brought me into the world in November, 1932. Year of the Monkey. The astrologers pretended formerly that the men - monkeys are of kind living beings, happy-go-lucky person and agile. All opposite of me. I am born in Tingzhou, in the west of Fujian, small almost tropical city at the edge of a muddy river. The Communist Party had relegated my father there Maoist for motives which I managed to clarify later. By discovering me, had he this smile which they see on its portraits which pervaded our cities up to nausea? I doubt it. I was called Maoist Xiao, baby Maoist. Having founded on knowledge deepened Chinese history, served by an inspired writing, "baby Maoist" succeeds in making heard the voice of a child then of a man confronted with the mystery of his identity and with the absurdity of life. : Jean-Claude Latt s 2010
