From 1966 to 1976, the so-called Cultural Revolution in China throws an entire nation into violent and catastrophic turmoil. Millions are displaced, tortured, or executed under Mao Zedong's ruthless regime. Suffering persecution for his religious beliefs and family connections abroad, a young doctor named Qing Zeng is forced to flee. He makes two failed attempts at escape to Hong Kong. Finally, at the peak of the Cultural Revolution, and at the risk of losing his life, he eventually makes a heart-pounding escape alone to North Vietnam and manages to survive in the rural countryside for seven long years. But ultimately, he is forcibly repatriated back to China ... Hao Jie Tao Sheng Ji (Escape from Mao's Calamity) is the moving story of one man's struggle to escape the place he used to call home, and finally find freedom. The story provides living witness to the history of that time.

Master the rhythm essentials that will take your guitar playing from advanced beginner to the next level.Beginner level guitar is about learning the common open chords, a few strum patterns and some songs. From here we might go on to learn bar chords and some more intermediate level techniques.

This alone can transform your playing to a point that you can jam with others, play with confidence and be a part of the band, or jam, that's holding things together. It's one thing knowing your Down / Up strumming but there's more to it than that. You need to know when and where it applies, how to use it with variation to make your strumming technique work correctly with the feel of the rhythm. In this book you will learn how to: Use dynamics to break up your strumming into recognisable rhythmsUnderstand the common time signatures and play correctly against themLearn the different feels like straight, triplet and shuffle rhythms.How to include muted strums to create more percussive rhythm playing.Includes 10 backing tracks (free download) with example rhythms and TAB using various styles and timings.
