2: Shanghai-born author, ANCHEE MIN (AHN-chee MIN). She grew up in China during the last years of Mao's Cultural Revolution. In her memoir, "Red Azalea" (Pantheon), MIN recounts her experiences as an 11-year old leader in her school's Little Red Guard, then as a laborer at a work camp where she became the secret lover of her female commander. When Madam Mao began her reform of China's film industry, MIN was chosen from 20,000 candidates to become a screen actress because she had a face that was thought to represent the working class. MIN was also cast to star in a film about Madam Mao's life, but before the film was finished Chairman Mao died, Madam Mao was denounced and MIN was punished.
