Chinese title, on p. facing t.p. and on cover, romanized in Pinyin: A si.

When Ting-xing Ye was born her aunt declared, "ah Si shi ge lao lu ming" - Number Four will have a difficult life - for the signs were unlucky. Events soon bore out this cruel prediction. Here is the true story of Ting-xing's tumultuous young life turned upside down by China's Cultural Revolution. After the death of both her parents, Ting-xing and her four siblings endure the brutality of Red Guard attacks on their schools and even their house as they struggle against poverty and hunger. At sixteen, Ting-xing herself is exiled to a prison farm far from home.
