As a child he was forced to watch both his father and grandfather often beaten and stoned in public. After Mao's death in 1976, Da Chen took the <a class="showlessmore_link" id="u_5de24_showmore" onclick="truncate_show('u_5de24')" >show more</a><span class="hideme" id="u_5de24"> country's college entrance exam, on which he scored among the highest in the country. He was admitted to the prestigious Beijing Language and Culture University; upon graduation he joined the faculty teaching English. Offered a scholarship to Nebraska's Union College, Da Chen arrived in the United States with little more than $30 and a bamboo flute. He supported himself as a waiter in a Chinese restaurant." He then received a scholarship offer from Columbia University in New York City. Da Chen earned a law degree, then worked as an investment banker on Wall Street. He tried his hand at writing a legal thriller, but was unsuccessful. After his second attempt, his wife suggested he write the stories he'd told his family about his early years in China. The result was "Colors of the Mountain". His other books include Sounds of the River; Brothers: A Novel; Wandering Warrior; and his most recent work, Girl Under a Red Moon. Da Chen passed away on December 17, 2019 at the age of 57.

It is the story of a boy growing up in rural China, struggling to make friends and pursue artistic interests.<br><br>The book starts with the death of Chen's grandfather and the school-yard bullying he experienced because he came from a rich family whose land and capital was taken away when the communists took over. Chen <u class="showmore_hide">was an excellent student who did not have many friends. While his brothers and sisters toiled away in collective fields, Chen's family decided he would continue past middle school in order to have a better life. He took an interest in the music as he reached high school. He made friends with a small gang of gambling and smoking delinquents who buoyed his spirits, encouraging him to continue his education so that he could be successful. In high school, he played violin for a local theatrical troupe, causing him to temporarily ignore his studies. Because of his father's connections, Chen takes private English classes from a rich woman. When Chen learns that the families of landowners will be allowed to apply for college, he and a chain-smoking friend spend a year rededicating themselves to studies in order to apply.<br><br>The worst problems Chen faces are schoolyard fights and teachers ignoring him. The tension of studying for college exams in the last third of the book was caused by Chen himself because of he essentially dropped out of high school to play violin. This is a change from most memoirs of the Cultural Revolution where children are completely separated from their parents, are extremely malnourished, and experience tremendous upheaval. Memoirs of adults describe nightmarish situations. In comparison, "Colors of the Mountain" is very tame. At times, the book is even bucolic, describing a part of the world where people bicycle between towns, spend vacations at lazy factories, and watch farmers working in the fields. Chen had many enjoyable adventures, traveling to island communes, going to larger cities with his friends to watch movies, and becoming a member of the theatrical troupe. Of course, while Chen lived in relative comfort, the people around him no doubt suffered even more.<br><br>Chen does not spend energy describing political events and upheaval. The one exception is his desire at the beginning of the book to be a member of the Red Guard. Perhaps this is because those political movements had enormous effects in cities but rarely spread to the countryside.<br><br>The book is very well written. It is easy to read. Although it was written in English, Chen has "idiomized" Chinese into English, using English phrases to reconstruct conversation rather than directly translating the Chinese. Although it got a little slow describing his intense study sessions toward the end of the book, "Colors of the Mountain" is well-written, generally moving quickly with a focus on pushing the narrative.</u><span class="showmore_showlink">… (<a href="#" onclick="showMore('u_d9f9f66b');">more</a>)</span></div class="" ><span id="rate-u_2d73f781" title="3 Stars" aria-title="3 Stars"
