Features: In Record of Remorse, the author recalls the various political movements from Yan'an's "Salvage Movement" onwards, an experience that middle-aged and older Chinese cannot avoid. But few can express the "Leftist" ideology and its harmful effects with such unhesitating honesty as she does. In 1998, Record of Remorse sparked a huge response, inspiring many intellectuals to reflect on their sense of responsibility and mission towards history, and thus was dubbed the "Wei Junyi Phenomenon" by the cultural. The autobiographical novel Lu Sha's Path is a companion piece to the memoir Record of Remorse and also an interpretation of the former. Like Record of Remorse, it reflects the 20th-century China.
