Jin Jingzhi Interview Response

Dear Jin Jingzhi
You lived in a very historical time and had experienced many hardships in your life. I praise you for sharing the life you lived and the powers that made made it difficult at times. You and your family were constantly being challenged by the government yet you stayed strong and did what you needed to do. Its very hard for me to imagine life as hard as yours. Were you loyal to the communists because you feared them or because you believed in their ideas? Did you ever have thoughts of joining the rebels because of the constant accusations on your families wealth? Did you ever fear that with out your husbands financial assistance that you would have to change your lifestyle?
Before the communists took over you and your husband were doing pretty well off but that started to change once they had complete control over the country. They owned your husbands company and you were a representative for congress. Then the red guards came and stripped your home apart and accused you of hiding money. Your husband was thrown in prison for being an opposer of the communists. Two of your children were taken away to the peasant villages to work and you were still strong. You've lived an amazing life and you have seen and experienced mass amounts of emotional strain. I praise you for living your life like a warrior.
